Moderat01·: Thank you very much Sir. The first question is from the line of Mohit Kumar from EM Capital. Please go ahead.
Mohit Kumar
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
Understood, Sir. Thank you and all the best. Moderator·: Thank you very much, Sir. The next question is from the line of Devendra Pandey from DP Financial Services Advisory. Please go ahead. Page 2 of9 NrWA Nava Bharat Ventures Limited Februwy 9, 2021
