NMDC set up a 3 MTPA capacity greenfield Nagarnar Steel Plant based on HiSmelt technology, 16 km from Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh state, with an estimated outlay of Rs 20000 crore. ^{[7] [5]}

A pure-play miner, NMDC had in 2009–10 conceived the Nagarnar steel plant with the intention of moving up the value chain and diversifying its portfolio. The idea was also to hedge itself against the vagaries of iron ore prices. ^{[8] [9]}

In 2023 NMDC Steel became a publicly traded company on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India, after a demerger from NMDC in 2022. ^{[11] [12]}
