5. Outlook for NMDC
NMDC proposes to augment its production capacity of iron ore to 67 million tonnes by FY’25. It has also
embarked on value addition projects by setting up a 1.2 MTPA pellet plant utilizing slimes in Karnataka and a
3.0 MTPA integrated steel plant in Chhattisgarh. NMDC-CMDC Limited (NCL), a JV company of NMDC Limited
& CMDC Limited, will also start production from Dep-13 through MDO in the near future. Dep-4 has been also
allocated to NMDC in Sep’19, which will add further value to NMDC production & profit numbers. NMDC has
also developed an intermediate stockpile at Kumarmaranga near Jagdlapur to ensure an uninterrupted supply
of ore to the customers. To augment evacuation capacity, NMDC is supporting on Doubling of K-K line (Kirandul-
Kotvatsala), Rowghat-Jagdalpur line, Slurry Pipeline, etc
To diversify further its business, NMDC is planning to start one of the Coal Mine, namely Tokisud North,
Jharkhand in FY’23. NMDC will also start actions to operationalize the other allocated Coal Block, Rohne, in
the next 2-3 years. NMDC also participated in the auction of the Gold mine & declared as preferred bidder for
Chigugunta-Bisanatham Gold Block in A.P. NMDC will take action to start the gold mine after LOI will be issued
by the state government.
NMDC has recently prepared its Internationalisation Strategy to venture into various identified minerals &
geographies & will continue to look for opportunistic assets based on the recommendation & strategy in the
formulated report.
NMDC is committed to focusing on maintaining cost competitiveness in the global and domestic markets in
a scenario where prices are expected to remain subdued. Further, NMDC is taking various initiatives towards
automation & digitization of its operation to further improve its cost competitiveness.
Along with robust strategic planning to support its growth agenda, NMDC continues to enhance organizational
capabilities and other enablers to achieve its short-term and long-term objectives.
6. Risks and Concerns
NMDC is exposed to sharp fluctuations in demand for its products and volatility in prices. Falling prices of iron
ore, specially in international market will support the import by the steel players & exert pressure on domestic
supply & prices.
Introduction of Auction rule has increased risks for NMDC as its major customers have acquired captive mines
in mineral-rich states, mainly JSW & AM-NS. Both JSW & AM-NS has already started production from newly
acquired mines & planned to increase it further in the near future. New tranches of auction is likely to add
further capacity of iron ore to steel players as well as other merchant players in near futyre. This is likely to
adversely impact the market for NMDC over the medium to long term.
Kumarswamy mine is due for extension of lease in Oct’22, which will again impact the EBITDA of the company.

Dear Stakeholder,
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), with a spread of over 161 countries, 16100 Corporate participants, is the
World’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.
UNGC is a call to companies to align strategies and operations with universal principles on human rights, labour,
environment and anti-corruption (ten principles) and take strategic actions to advance broader societal goals, such as
the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation.
The world today is facing unprecedented environmental challenges in areas including climate change, clean water,
biodiversity etc. New efforts are needed to increase stewardship of natural resources, implement innovative solutions,
and contribute to sustainable development. As the world looks to recover better from the global pandemic and
implement the transformative change necessary to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C, collective action will be
critical to assess environmental risks and opportunities, set and deliver ambitious environmental targets and adopt
responsible practices for a transition to the net-zero, resilient economy.
The quality of a Company’s relationships and engagement with its stakeholders is critical. Companies affect what
happens to employees, workers in the value chain, customers and local communities, and it is important to manage
impacts proactively. Businesses’ social license to operate depends greatly on their social sustainability efforts. In
addition, a lack of social development, including poverty and inequality can hamper business operations and growth.
In Today’s business landscape, good governance is a critical challenge, which requires efforts that are mutually
reinforcing. Companies have to enhance good governance by integrating corporate sustainability principles into their
own operations and relationships, allowing for greater transparency, accountability and inclusiveness.
At NMDC, we have been following the principles of the UN Global Compact and have adopted many frameworks
developed by UNGC. We have embedded sustainability into our strategies and have been taking proactive action to
secure a resilient future. Our efforts address the linkages among various environmental issues — climate, water,
biodiversity — as well as the social and governance dimensions. In this Decade of Action, NMDC has scaled up its
efforts to towards the Sustainable Development Goals and the ambitious targets set in the Paris Agreement.
Our efforts, be it the CSR initiatives, or sustainable – eco-friendly mining or putting the societal interests ahead
of NMDC’s own, have been appreciated by the stakeholders. As we go forward, I reiterate NMDC’s commitment to
ensure that the 10 principles and the 17 SDGs of UNGC are adhered to, not only by NMDC, but also encourage those
with whom it does business to adhere to them. I call upon all the stakeholders to partner us in achieving these noble
goals.
Yours sincerely

2.34.15 General:
i. The company owns certain office space at New Delhi. It is not the company’s intention to hold the property for a
long term for capital appreciation nor for rental purpose. Hence the same is not treated as Investment Property
and included under PPE.
ii. Some of the balances appearing under Trade receivables, Trade payables, advances, Security deposits and other
payables are subject to confirmations.
iii. Figures for the previous year have been regrouped/ rearranged wherever considered necessary so as to confirm
to the classification of the current year.
A. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities
(primarily trade receivables) and deposits with banks.
(a) Trade receivables
The Company sales are generally based on advance payments and through LC's. The trade receivables in
the books are mainly on account of credit sales to M/s RINL Limited, CPSE under the Ministry of Steel and
the Sales of Iron Ore in the State of Karantaka which is through Montoring Committee (MC) appointed by
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

C. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will
affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising
the return.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Since majority of the company's operations are being carried out in India and since all the material balances
are denominated in its functional currency, the company does not carry any material exposure to currency
fluctuation risk.
The Company's exposure to foreign currencies is minimal and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The company quite often bridges its short term cash flow
mismatch by availing working capital loans from banks against its fixed deposits. Such loans have a very short
tenure and the interest rate on such loans is based upon the rates offered by banks on fixed deposits , increased
by a few basis points. Since the interest rates on fixed deposits are fixed, the company does not have any
interest rate risk on such loans availed on a loan to loan basis.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is minimal and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.

1.4 : Disputed claims under ‘ Karnataka Forest Act:
Government of Karnataka had introduced Forest Development Tax (FDT), to pay @ 12% on the sale value of iron
ore with effect from 27.08.2008. NMDC preferred an appeal before Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and the court
passed an interim order directing the Company to pay 50% of FDT, consisting of 25% in cash and balance 25% in the
form of Bank Guarantee. As against the total FDT demand of ` 487.37 Crore ( from August 2008 to Sep-2011), the
Company has deposited an amount of ` 121.84 Crore (25%) in cash which has been shown as amount recoverable and
submitted a bank guarantee for similar amount. An amount of ` 365.53 Crore (balance 50% amount of ` 243.69 Crore
plus 121.84 Crore paid and accounted as amount recoverable) is included under disputed claims at 1.1.A. The amount
of ` 121.84 Crore for which BG was given is included under contingent liability on BGs’ at 1.2.
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka vide order dated 03.12.2015 has quashed the orders of Government of Karnataka
levying the FDT and ordered refund of the tax collected within three months and accordingly the Company has lodged
refund claims. However, Government of Karnataka has filed a Special Leave Petition with Hon'ble Supreme Court of
India, challenging the orders of Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka. Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has accepted the
same and imposed stay on refund of the FDT amount.
Meanwhile Karnataka State Govt. had enacted Karnataka Forest (Amendment) Act 2016 vide Gazette notification
dated 27.07.2016. The amendment substituted the word ‘Tax’ in the principal act to ‘Fee’ w.e.f 16th day of Aug 2008.
Based on this the Monitoring Committee had started billing the Forest Development Fee in its invoices. Meanwhile
consumers in Karnataka had filed separate Writ Petitions in Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka on the above. Karnataka
High Court vide its order dated 20th Sept. 2016, had ordered that State Govt may restrain from collecting FDF during
the pendency of the writ petition, subject to the condition of furnishing bank guarantee in respect of 25% of the
demand in relation to future transactions. Karnataka State Govt. had approached Hon’ble Supreme Court on this.
Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 13.02.2017 modified the order of High Court of Karnataka and ordered for
payment of 50% of the demanded amount and furnish Bond for balance amount.
