In a significant move towards realizing its NMDC 2.0 vision of achieving a 100 MT capacity, NMDC Ltd. has implemented a series of strategic initiatives aimed at streamlining operations, enhancing decision-making speed, and driving infrastructure growth. Central to this transformation is the revamped delegation of powers within the organization, which empowers Directors, Project Heads, and senior management with substantial authority to expedite the execution of key projects.

Empowering Leadership for Quick Decision-Making

Under the new structure, the powers initially vested in the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) have been cascaded downwards following a pyramid structure of hierarchy. This strategic delegation ensures that decision-making power is distributed across various levels, from the CMD and Directors to the Heads of Projects and Department Heads. The sanctioning power for capital schemes now rests with the CMD, Directors, and the highest level of executives at the project level, significantly reducing the time required to finalize and execute projects.

Enhanced Production and Productivity

Sanjeev Sahi, Head of NMDC’s Bailadila Iron Ore Mine (BIOM), emphasized that this new delegation framework is designed to facilitate quicker decision-making, thereby enhancing production and productivity. The streamlined process is expected to help NMDC achieve its CAPEX targets at a faster pace, all while maintaining the highest standards of transparency. By empowering senior executives with tendering powers—a responsibility previously reserved for higher authorities—the organization has decentralized operations, allowing for more expeditious processing of cases at the respective levels.

Maintaining Control and Accountability

Despite the expanded delegation, it is important to note that the powers sub-delegated by the CMD are confined within his own delegated authority, ensuring that control and accountability are maintained. The CMD has entrusted these powers only to senior and responsible officers to guarantee judicious use and prompt execution of works. This carefully structured delegation reflects NMDC’s commitment to balancing speed with diligence and thoroughness in project execution.

Focus on Capacity Building with Works Verticals

A key innovation in NMDC’s approach is the introduction of the Works Vertical concept, which is dedicated to emphasizing the construction activities at all major production projects. The Works Verticals are led by the senior-most officers, who have been granted powers equivalent to the Heads of Projects. This separation of responsibilities allows the Head of Projects to focus on production and operational requirements, while the Head of Works concentrates on the capacity-building activities involving capital expenditure projects.

By strategically dividing these roles, NMDC ensures that both production and infrastructure growth receive the necessary attention. The company aims to fast-track the implementation of various infrastructure and capacity-building projects in the coming period, with a strong focus on expeditious execution and effective monitoring of these initiatives.

Conclusion

The revamped delegation of powers under the NMDC 2.0 vision marks a pivotal shift in how the organization operates, with a clear emphasis on decentralization, efficiency, and transparency. By empowering its leaders and creating dedicated structures like the Works Verticals, NMDC is well-positioned to achieve its ambitious goal of reaching 100 MT capacity while maintaining a balanced approach to production and infrastructure development. This strategic approach not only enhances NMDC’s operational efficiency but also strengthens its foundation for sustained growth in the years to come.
