We are looking at 20 to 25 per cent growth in volumes on an year-on-year basis. We plan to ramp up production to 50 million tonnes in the next two to three years," Sesa Goa Managing Director and CEO P K Mukherjee told PTI. The company produces about 16 million tonnes of iron ore from its mines in Goa, Karnataka and Orissa. Mukherjee, who bagged the top CEO award by Business World in the 2009 ranking of most valuable CEOs, said the iron ore producer could diversify into steel making as and when the opportunity comes. The company is making pig iron and is ramping up operations to increase capacity from 0.25 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 0.625 mtpa. On any proposed acquisitions or mergers, he said as part of the growth strategy, the talks are continuing with firms but as of now there is no concrete information. The company this year acquired the mining and maritime business of Goa-based Dempo group, adding another four million tonnes of production.
