• In the context of grant order which is awaited for Utkal ‘C’ Block awarded to Utkal Coal Ltd (UCL), Govt of Odisha has acknowledged that the Company is fully compliant with the checklist.

Commenting on the results Mr Subhrakant Panda, Managing Director & CEO, IMFA said,“The quarterly performance is in line with our expectation with revenue rising 17% and operating profits by 44% which is remarkable given the difficult circumstances. However, net profit has been impacted due to higher depreciation and finance costs on account of recently commissioned captive power plants.

The 48 MVA at Therubali which was hitherto idled was switched on in mid-January and operations at the Mahagiri Chromite Mines have also restarted upon receiving permission from MoEF. As such, volume will increase going ahead and there will also be a positive impact on margins.

We are fully compliant with the checklist prepared by State Govt as regards the coal block allotted to Utkal Coal Ltd and expect to receive grant order soon.”
