Operational Context

  • IOG (Goa mines): Production increased 22% YoY driven by ramp-up of mining operations and enhanced processing capacity
  • IOK (Karnataka mines): Q2 saleable ore production aligned with revised estimates per updated mine plan
  • IOO (Odisha): Saleable ore production recorded 34% YoY growth driven by higher operational efficiency
  • Note: Ore mined from Karnataka Mines includes BHQ material which will be processed once the beneficiation plant is commissioned
  • Q2'27 saleable production lower against Q1 due to scheduled furnace maintenance
