Annual Report Distribution

The company is sending the Notice of the 68th AGM along with the Annual Report for FY26 via electronic mode to members who have registered their email addresses with the company, depositories, or the Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA).

The annual report includes financial statements for FY26, the Auditors' Report, the Board's Report, and the Business Responsibility & Sustainability Report. These documents are also hosted on the company's website.

Regulatory Compliance

The communication is issued in compliance with Regulation 34(1) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, and the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Aniket Kulshreshtha, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, signed the disclosure.

NMDC Limited has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 with stock exchanges. The report discloses environmental, social, and governance metrics for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

Operational Scope

The reporting boundary covers iron ore mines in Kirandul, Bacheli, and Donimalai, along with the Panna diamond mine and the Donimalai pellet plant. Corporate offices in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Raipur are included. The Paloncha sponge iron unit and Lalapur silica sand project were excluded as they remained non-operational.

Iron ore mining accounted for 78.35% of turnover, while trading of hot-rolled coils contributed 12.55%. The company produced over 53 MTPA of iron ore from its major units.

Environmental Metrics

Total greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) stood at 198,372 tCO2e, up from 187,684 tCO2e in the previous year. Energy consumption increased to 1,862,193 GJ, with renewable sources contributing only 0.26% of the total mix.

Water consumption fell to 8,552,133 kL from 9,235,746 kL. However, water discharge rose significantly to 1,380,279 kL compared to 9,282 kL in the prior year.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between falling water consumption and rising water discharge suggests a shift in process efficiency or recycling protocols. While the company consumed less water overall, it released substantially more treated effluent into surface waters and third parties, indicating improved treatment capacity but higher outflow volumes.

Social and Governance

The company reported zero fatalities among employees, though one worker fatality was recorded. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for workers was 0.64. Female representation remains low, with women constituting just 5% of permanent employees and 10% of permanent workers.

Related party transactions saw a sharp rise in purchases, which jumped to 47.22% of total purchases from 2.82% in the previous year. Investments in related parties remained stable at 99.99%.
