Midwest Limited filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 on September 6, 2026. The natural stone miner reported total revenue from operations of ₹4,217.71 million, up from ₹3,697.35 million in the prior year.

The company operates 17 plants across India and serves customers in 17 countries across five continents. Exports contributed 20.86% of the total turnover during the reporting period.

Financial and Operational Metrics

The standalone report highlights key operational and financial figures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

The company disclosed that its top 10 customers contributed approximately 51.21% of revenue in FY25. China remains a critical market, accounting for roughly 39.73% of FY25 revenue. The board identified customer concentration and geopolitical trade risks as primary material risks.

Workforce and Safety

Midwest employed 222 permanent employees and 151 permanent workers as of the end of FY26. The turnover rate for permanent employees fell to 17.81% in FY26, down from 23.91% in FY25. Permanent worker turnover rose to 13.82% from 7.89% in the prior year.

The company reported zero lost-time injuries, fatalities, or high-consequence work-related injuries for both employees and workers in FY26. It maintains a 100% coverage rate for health and accident insurance among permanent employees and workers.

Environmental Impact

Total energy consumption increased to 44,879 Giga Joules in FY26, compared to 35,061 Giga Joules in FY25. Renewable sources accounted for 42,367 Giga Joules of this total. The company has installed a 1.10 MW captive solar plant and deployed electric dump trucks to reduce diesel consumption.

Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) totaled 32,773.40 tCO2e in FY26, rising from 27,545.95 tCO2e in FY25. Waste generation increased significantly to 50,46,606 metric tonnes, primarily driven by overburden and waste rock from mining operations. All hazardous waste, including used oil, was disposed of through certified providers.

What the Numbers Show

Revenue growth outpaced energy intensity improvements. While revenue grew by approximately 14%, total energy consumption rose by nearly 28%. This divergence suggests that operational expansion or increased mechanization drove higher absolute energy use, even as the company integrated renewable sources. Additionally, related-party transactions saw a shift in composition; while sales to related parties remained low at 0.54% of total sales, loans and advances to related parties constituted 86.13% of total loans and advances, indicating significant internal capital deployment.
