I had three questions, my first question is that we have observed a good growth in our silica manganese business so what could be the reason behind it and can we expect this trend to continue for the next year?
Nikhil Devineni
opening
Ashwin pointed out, in quarter four we are completely overbooked in terms of our production and sales and we hope that this trend would continue given the forecast in terms of the growth in GOP and so on.

Once those are resolved I think we will be able to offtake power to end customers.

So, should we expect that it would generate steady cash flow in the future, or would it be lumpy?
Sultan Baig
opening
Yes, our conversion agreement with Tata steel has been extended till March 2025, so we expect steady revenue and cash flows from Odisha Tata steel conversion for the next 4 years.

However, as I said before, in quarter four we are seeing a huge uptake in silica-manganese prices and if the trend continues going forward, which we hope, given all the indicators from the economy, silica-manganese prices also should yield good results.
Samil Surendran

My question is a follow-up on the ferro-alloy dispense section, what would be your sales projection for the fourth quarter and the full year given that we are seeing a sequential rise in sales in silicomanganese?

How do we plan to monetize this or at least recover this?
Vishal Chandak

How do you plan to recover this money even if we win this arbitration?
Ashwin Devineni
opening
As you rightly said, we opened up another pit called the Kanzinze pit, which is on the left hand side of the concession area and coal extraction from the pit has commenced with that we hope to see increase in sales quantities owing to the pit producing very high grade quality coal for sales.

Good mornmg Sir and congratulations on the good set of numbers. Sir, I had two questions, firstly where are we on the Maamba receivables and secondly what is the progress in terms tariff negotiation, can you please update on the same?
Ashwin Devineni
Mohit, with respect to Maamba, we entered into arbitration on outstanding receivables, which are upwards of $400 million .. We have a tribunal that has been formed and this process is currently on going. Now, on the tariff negotiation, which is essentially for the future, those discussions are also currently on the way between Maamba Collieries and the state utility ZESCO, so that is also progressing on a parallel track.
Ashwin Devineni
It is in the interest of both parties to conclude the negotiations as early as possible. Both the pa~iies are putting in their best efforts to discuss all matters and close it sooner rather than later. Unfotiunately with this whole COVID situation and the current situation in Zambia, which is pretty bad with the new South African strain, things have taken a toll in terms of timelines. We had to resoti to vitiual meeting, which is delaying the progress,
Mohit Kumar
