NMDC Limited is India’s largest Iron Ore producer, currently producing approximately 53 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) from its three fully mechanized mining complexes, namely BIOM-Kirandul Complex, BIOM-Bacheli Complex in Chhattisgarh, and Donimalai Complex in Karnataka. The Bailadila Region alone contributes nearly 37 MTPA of Iron Ore production. In line with the National Steel Policy, NMDC has set a target of achieving 100 MT production capacity by 2030, with approximately 80 MT expected fro
Dense fog and extremely low visibility during the monsoon season create major operational and safety challenges in the Bailadila iron ore mines.

Dense fog and extremely low visibility during the monsoon season create major operational and safety challenges in the Bailadila iron ore mines. Poor visibility restricts dumper movement, forcing operators to reduce speed or temporarily halt operations to avoid accidents and unsafe conditions.This results in increased haul cycle times, reduced fleet productivity, lower ore evacuation, and production losses. The risk of vehicle collision, road accidents, and operational disruptions also increases substantially during such conditions. Existing visibility aids and operational controls have limited effectiveness in dense fog environments.There is a need for an intelligent, reliable, and technology-driven solution that can enable safe and efficient movement of mine vehicles under low-visibility
