The Board of Directors of the Company have approved the expansion plan at their Meeting held on 23^rd October, 2023 and 22^nd January, 2024.

The Company is undertaking a strategic forward integration initiative through the establishment of a 4 million tonnes per annum (“MTPA”) Pellet Plant at Chugus, District Chandrapur, Maharashtra. This facility will add significant value to iron ore fines sourced from the Company's SIOM, converting them into high-grade pellets suitable for both domestic markets and export.

The Pellet Plant will utilise advanced Straight Crate Technology, aiming to produce pellets with an iron content of Fe: 64.3%. The project is being executed in partnership with NewFer GmbFI, a leading German technology provider in pelletizing systems, and Essar Constructions India Limited (“ECIL”), the appointed engineering consultant. The Promoters' previous experience in operating pelletizing units ensures that the project will benefit from proven expertise in both implementation and operational efficiency.

To ensure a reliable and environmentally responsible supply of raw material, the Company is also constructing a dedicated slurry pipeline to transport iron ore in slurry form from Hedri/Konsari to Chugus. Designed specifically to support the 4 MTPA plant, the pipeline is being engineered by Ausenco (USA), an internationally

recognized leader in pipeline infrastructure. This development will enable cost-effective and consistent ore transportation while minimizing dependence on road logistics.

The slurry pipeline is expected to deliver significant environmental advantages, including a notable reduction in carbon emissions and lower logistics costs, further aligning with the Company's broader commitment to sustainable and responsible operations.

A portion of the pellet output will be allocated for captive consumption, while the remainder will be marketed in both domestic and international markets, capitalizing on robust global demand for high-quality pellets.

The Company is undertaking the phased development of a 2 x 4 MTPA Pellet Plant, along with a dedicated slurry pipeline and associated grinding and pumping units at Konsari. This initiative complements the upcoming pellet facility at Chugus and forms a critical component of the Company's forward integration strategy maximizing value from iron ore fines extracted at the Surjagarh Iron Ore Mine (SIOM).

The Konsari facility will mirror the advanced Straight Crate Technology and process design deployed at Chugus, with engineering and project consultancy provided by NewFer GmbH (Germany) and Essar Constructions India Limited (ECIL).

A key feature of this project is the development of a state-of-the-art slurry pipeline—one of the first of its kind in Maharashtra—designed by Ausenco (USA). This pipeline will ensure the efficient, eco-friendly transport of iron ore fines from SIOM to the Konsari site, significantly reducing reliance on road and rail logistics. Additionally, the installation of grinding and pumping units will facilitate seamless ore processing and uninterrupted supply to the pellet plant.

The total capital outlay for the Konsari Pellet Plant and supporting infrastructure is estimated at ?4,500 Crores. This investment reflects the Company's ongoing commitment to:

¦ Lowering logistics costs through transport infrastructure,

¦ Ensuring optimal utilization of its captive mineral resources,

¦ Enhancing value chain integration, and

¦ Advancing its ESC agenda, particularly in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.

Together with the Chugus facility, the Konsari project represents a strategic leap toward creating a fully integrated and environmentally responsible iron ore-to-pellet value chain.

In line with a vision to integrate sustainability with operational excellence, the Company has made substantial progress through the implementation of BHQ (Banded Hematite Quartz) beneficiation technology. This initiative marks a transformative shift in how we harness natural resources, with a focus on longevity, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. By upgrading low-grade ore into high-quality input material, we not only add value to our operations but also contribute meaningfully to the nation's green steel ambitions.

Our 5TPH Pilot Plant for beneficiation has given encouraging results, thus further solidifying our strategy of setting up 45 MNT (15MNTx3) BHQ beneficiation plant.

Key highlights of our BHQ beneficiation strategy include:

¦ Adoption of BHQ beneficiation to upgrade low-grade iron ore and extend the life of our mining reserves.

¦ Reinforces our commitment to sustainable mining and efficient resource utilization.

¦ Produces beneficiated ore with reduced alumina and silica content, improving end-product quality.
