Capacity Enhancement

Capacity enhanced for manganese ore production from 0.28 MTPA to 0.46 MTPA, and further to 0.58 MTPA. Similarly, iron ore production capacity has been enhanced from 1.60 MTPA to 3.81 MTPA, and further proposed to increase to 4.36 MTPA. All the proposed expansions are duly complying with the parameters prescribed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

• Mining manganese and iron ores from two mining

leases located in Sandur (Karnataka)

• Fully-mechanized iron ore mining contributing

to higher margins

• Semi-mechanized, labour-intensive manganese ore mining with relatively lower margins but generating large scale employment opportunities

• Mining operations with one of the best operating

metrics & track record in the Industry

• Mining operations conducted with utmost respect for environment and adherence to regulatory norms of authorities

Ferroalloys – New and Improved

Turnaround of Ferroalloys operations in FY21 through feasible power generation

Achieved a shift towards cleaner sources of energy such as Waste Heat & Green Energy against previously used coal-based energy

The combination of Coke Oven Plant and WHRB generates power as a by-product, thus leading to substantial savings by eliminating the need for thermal coal

Effective power generation cost was reduced significantly post commissioning of WHRB & further setup of hybrid renewable energy plant

S UPERIOR BUS IN ES S PROFIL E

Strengthening

an Already Robust Business

A quality business

High-quality convertor: SBQ steel has better realisations and margins vis-à-vis commodity steel products

Strategic locations: To cater to auto OEM clusters in both South & North India

Strong entry barriers: Empaneled vendor, after a stringent process, with numerous auto-Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) over many years of operations

Focusing on growing non- auto opportunities: Working on product development for non-auto sectors like Railways (already RDSO approved), Energy, EVs & exports

To be strengthened further Highest-possible integration in the industry

SMIORE will aid sourcing of key RM for Arjas

Limited distance between SMIORE-Arjas (~250 km) and both sites are equipped with railway sidings

s r e m o t s u C

To enhance Arjas’ business positioning & cost- competitiveness further

Rationale for the Acquisition

Acquired a business over an asset

Thriving i.e., superior growth & profitability metrics

Well-managed i.e., seasoned management team & CXOs

Quality facility i.e., technically- advanced facility with good SOPs established by a Brazilian steel major

Accelerates SMIORE’s forward-integration to become a steel company As opposed to a minimum 2-3 years of gestation period for a greenfield project, and further time to get numerous OEM empanelments

Potential for future brownfield investments Sizable land bank & infrastructure to expand up to 1 MTPA, add more products to the portfolio

Management Commentary

Mining

Mining Expansion

After a slow second quarter of mining operations on account of excessive rainfalls in August and September, we have made a comeback in production volumes for both manganese ore and iron ore. Manganese ore production stands noticeably higher at 1.13 lakh tonnes, as we have ramped up our excavation & processing capabilities. Sales couldn't be fully ramped up in Q3 but is expected to increase in the coming quarter. Similarly, iron ore production and sales volume are in line with our new Maximum Permissible Annual Production (MPAP) limits.

Realisations for both the products have witnessed noticeable increase in the third quarter.

Another significant development recently was "The Karnataka (Minerals Rights and Mineral Bearing Land) Tax Bill, 2024" proposed by the state government, which proposed new levies on mining of manganese & iron ores in the state. For the time being, this bill has been returned by the Governor of Karnataka. The Company is closely monitoring the developments on this front and is evaluating the potential impact & appropriate course of action if at all this bill is implemented.

Following the recent receipt of approval for enhancement of Permissible Annual Production limit of iron ore to 4.36 MTPA from the present 3.81 MTPA on 1 January 2025, the Company has applied to receive Consent for Operation (Expansion) from Karnataka State Pollution Control Board. The Company is also seeking other regulatory approvals to operate at the enhanced levels.

Coke and Energy

Volatility in the coking coal market persisted in Q3. However, the business has shown some early signs of revival with the initiative of quantitative restrictions (QR) being in place from 1 January 2025 till end of June 2025. We continue with our cautious stance in this business segment.

Ferroalloys

Ferroalloys performance is partly linked to the volumes in Coke and Energy segment, on account of waste-heat generation. To that extent there has not been an increase in Ferroalloys volumes.

Given the domestic steel industry outlook, the demand & pricing scenario for Ferroalloys was tepid in Q3. Nonetheless, with the recent increase in prices following Q3, we expect to do better volumes in the coming quarter.

Arjas Steel

Post the completion of the strategic business acquisition of Arjas Steel in November 2024, this is the first quarter of partial consolidation of Arjas' financial results with SMIORE. The 9MFY25 period has been tough for the domestic steel industry due to various macro factors. Additionally, Arjas undertook some planned plant shutdowns for ongoing CAPEX projects, leading to overall lower capacity utilization rates. We expect to do better on capacity utilization front in the coming financial year. Additionally, the integration process with Arjas is progressing well: 4 Board appointments on behalf of SMIORE have been made, steady supplies of iron ore from SMIORE have commenced, common functions are being streamlined across both companies, and work is ongoing to maximize the overall synergies between the two companies.

“With mining expansions in place and integration of Arjas steel progressing well, we look forward to drive success and create lasting value in both mining and metal sector “
