THE public sector Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Ltd proposes to invest Rs 1,500 crore in fresh projects and upgradation of existing mines in the Bellary-Hospet belt in Karnataka and Orissa.

The investment includes the Rs 300 crore for upgradation of its pelletisation plant in Mangalore and port handling infrastructure.

In Orissa, it proposes to set up a 50:50 joint venture with Steel Authority of India. The project involves expanding production of ore from three mines — Barsua, Kalta and Taldi. `

In Karnataka, the company is awaiting clearance from the State Government for a greenfield mining project. This would involve an investment of Rs 500 crore.
