Indian state-run iron ore miner, NMDC Limited has reported net profit of INR 5.33 billion ($72 million) during first quarter ended June 30, 2020, 55 percent lower than corresponding period of the previous year due to impact of pandemic induced national lockdown, the company said in a statement.

This translated into a revenue loss of INR 7.37 billion ($99 million) and net profit loss of INR 3.17 billion ($43 million), the company reported.
