Public sector mining major NMDC on Monday said it will contribute ₹150 crore to the PM-CARES Fund to help in the fight against COVID-19.
“To deal with the difficult times arising out of COVID-19 in the country, #NMDC will be donating ₹150 crore to #PMCARES FUND. It is a small contribution from @nmdclimited for a national cause on the appeal of @narendramodi ji our Hon PM,” Chairman-cum-Managing Director N. Baijendra Kumar tweeted.
