In this Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal, and all percentage figures have been rounded off to two decimal places.

However, where any figures may have been sourced from third-party industry sources, such figures may be rounded-off to such number of decimal points as provided in such respective sources. In this Red Herring Prospectus, (i) the sum or percentage change of certain numbers may not conform exactly to the total figure given;

and (ii) the sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row; any such discrepancies are due to rounding off.

Our Company’s financial year commences on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ends on March 31 of that particular calendar year; accordingly, all references to a particular financial year or fiscal, unless stated otherwise, are to the 12 months period commencing on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ending on March 31 of that particular calendar year. Reference in this Red Herring Prospectus to the terms Fiscal or Fiscal Year or Financial Year is to the 12 months ended on March 31 of such year, unless otherwise specified.

The degree to which the financial information included in this Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices, Ind AS, the Companies Act and SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with the aforementioned policies and laws on the financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus should be limited. There are significant differences between Ind AS, Indian GAAP, U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not provide a reconciliation of its financial statements with Indian GAAP, IFRS or U.S. GAAP requirements.

Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our financial data. For further details in connection with risks involving 18differences between Ind AS and other accounting principles, see “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition” on page 76.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 33, 215 and 422 respectively, and elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis of amounts derived from our Restated Financial Information or non-GAAP financial measures as described below.

Non- GAAP Financial Measures Certain non-GAAP financial measures relating to our financial performance included in this Red Herring Prospectus are a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit / (loss) for the year / period or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a standardised term and, therefore, a direct comparison of similarly titled Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate the Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Although the Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us because these are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance. See “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition” on page 76.

21FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements contained in this Red Herring Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding our expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “may”, “seek to”, “shall”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “will”, “will continue”, “will pursue”, “can”, “could”, “goal”, “should” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward looking statements. All forward-looking statements whether made by us or any third parties in this Red Herring Prospectus are based on our current plans, estimates, presumptions and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement, including but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industry in which we have businesses and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions which have an impact on our business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in the industry.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: • Information relating to our reserve and resource base included in this Red Herring Prospectus are estimates, and our actual production, revenues and expenditure with respect to our reserves and resources may differ materially from these estimates. Additionally, certain reserve and resource base information

provided in this Red Herring Prospectus has been prepared and classified in accordance with Indian Standard Procedure guidelines (the “ISP Guidelines”), which has not been audited by SRK Mining Services (India) Private Limited (“SRK”) and differs from international standards.

• Our mines and washeries are concentrated in Jharia, Jharkhand and Raniganj, West Bengal and the eventual exhaustion of coal reserves in these areas or our inability to successfully exploit existing reserves may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

• A significant portion of our revenues is derived from production of raw coking coal, which accounted for 77.20%, 74.13%, 75.72%, 75.75% and 74.79% of our revenue from operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any decline in demand for raw coking coal could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

• We have certain contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in the Restated Financial Information (₹ 35,985.90 million as of September 30, 2025), which if materialize, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

• We are dependent upon the pricing and continued supply of raw materials, the costs and supply of which can be subject to significant variation due to factors outside our control.

Certain information in “Industry Overview”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 146, 215 and 422, respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus have been obtained from the report titled “Report on Indian Coking Coal Industry” dated November 2025 exclusively prepared by CRISIL and commissioned for our Company specifically in connection with the Offer, pursuant to an engagement letter dated January 19, 2025.

For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from the expectations, see “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 33, 215 and 422, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates, and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated and are not a guarantee of future performance.

Forward-looking statements reflect current views as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future performance. There can be no assurance to investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to 22place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements to be a guarantee of our future performance.

These statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information.

Summary of the primary business of the Company We produce various grades of coking coal, non-coking coal and washed coals for applications primarily in the steel and power industries. We were incorporated in 1972 to mine and supply coking coal concentrated in mines located at Jharia, Jharkhand and Raniganj, West Bengal coalfields. We have expanded our operations significantly over the years, with our coal production increasing from 30.51 million tonnes in Fiscal 2022 to 40.50 million tonnes in Fiscal 2025, which is an increase of 32.74% over Fiscal 2022. Further, our coal production was 15.75 million tonnes in the six months period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 19.09 million tonnes in six months period ended September 30, 2024. In Fiscal 2024, we produced 39.11 million tonnes of coking coal and

1.99 million tonnes of non-coking coal, surpassing our previous records of coking coal production.

Summary of the Industry in which the Company operates Coal and iron ore are the bedrock of India's mineral wealth, playing a critical role in driving the nation's industrial and economic progress. These minerals not only fuel the country’s energy needs but also support the backbone of its manufacturing sector, particularly in steel production. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page

162)In Fiscal 2025, the coking coal demand is 67 MMT and is expected to reach 138 MMT in Fiscal 2035. The total coking coal supply shows a surplus in most years, which is not the case as very limited coking coal is directly being used in steel industry owning to the inferior quality of Indian coking coal. Going ahead, though the coking coal supply is expected to be more than the demand, demand of coking coal for steel is expected to increase.

Internal Risk Factors

1. Information relating to our reserve and resource base included in this Red Herring Prospectus are estimates, and our actual production, revenues and expenditure with respect to our reserves and resources may differ materially from these estimates. Additionally, certain reserve and resource base information

provided in this Red Herring Prospectus has been prepared and classified in accordance with Indian Standard Procedure guidelines (the “ISP Guidelines”), which has not been audited by SRK Mining Services (India) Private Limited (“SRK”) and differs from international standards.

Our future performance depends on, among other things, the accuracy of our estimates of our reserve and resource base. We base our estimates of our reserve and resource base on geological, engineering and economic data collected and analysed by Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coal India Limited, and our internal team of geologists and mining engineers. We prepare and classify our estimates of reserves and resources in accordance with the ISP Guidelines and have included our estimates of reserves and resources under ISP Guidelines in this Red Herring Prospectus. The methodology followed for coal resource estimation and the resource classification under the ISP Guidelines is different from, and may not be comparable to, that followed under certain international codes such as the 2004 Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”) and the Combined Reserves International Reporting Standards Committee Code (the “CRIRSCO Code”). Accordingly, the degree to which the reserve and resource estimates included in this Red Herring Prospectus prepared in accordance with ISP Guidelines will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with the ISP Guidelines. We intend to continue to follow the ISP Guidelines for such reserve base estimation and reporting as a listed company following this Offer. Consequently, your ability to evaluate our reserve and resource base following this Offer will continue to depend upon your familiarity with the ISP Guidelines. As a result, any estimates of reserves and resources that we may prepare following this Offer may not provide you with a basis for comparison of our estimated reserve and resource base with that of other listed mining companies.

At our request, SRK Mining Services (India) Private Limited (“SRK”), an independent mining and geological consultancy firm, has conducted an audit on our coal resources and reserves classified in accordance with the JORC Code. The report by SRK dated December 2, 2025 in accordance with the JORC Code (the “SRK Report”).

The SRK Report also includes a review of our estimates of coal resources and reserves classified in accordance with the ISP Guidelines and SRK's conclusions are set forth in the report.

There are various factors and assumptions inherent in the estimation of our reserve and resource base and the cost associated with mining such reserves that may materially differ from actual production, revenues and expenditure with respect to our reserves. These factors and assumptions include: interpretation of geological and geophysical data; geological and mining conditions, which may not be fully identified by available exploration data and/or may differ from our experiences in areas where we currently mine; quality of the coal and the percentage of coal ultimately recoverable; the assumed effects of regulation, including the issuance of required permits, and taxes and other payments to governmental agencies; assumptions concerning the timing for the development of the reserves; and assumptions concerning equipment and productivity, future coal prices, operating costs, including for critical supplies such as fuel, tires and explosives, capital expenditures and development and reclamation costs.

Many of the factors, assumptions and variables involved in estimation of our reserve and resource base are based on data which is available as of March 31, 2025 and subject to variations over time. Reserve estimation is a subjective process of estimating deposits of minerals that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of different engineers may vary, and results of our mining and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may lead to revision of estimates. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of such estimates may require revisions in our reserve and resource data. In addition, there can be no assurance that all our reserves can be economically exploited.

The estimated reserves and resources included in this Red Herring Prospectus should not be interpreted as an assurance of the economic lives of our coal reserves and resources or potential or profitability of any future operations. Any material inaccuracy in, or development of newer technologies to estimate reserves and resources, there may be significant change in our estimates which could result in decreased profitability from lower than expected revenues and/or higher than expected costs, which could adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition and the price of our Equity Shares.

34Further, we do not conduct a formal reconciliation of our resource and reserve estimates from our actual production which may cause a higher level of variance between our extractable reserve estimates and our actual production. With respect to our producing mines, we generally estimate the balance of our extractable reserves based on our initial estimates of extractable reserves contained in the project report for the mine after giving effect to the mine's historical production. Although additional data is generated as part of the production process, for example through production drilling, that could enable us to revise the initial estimate of extractable reserves for a number of factors such as the geological conditions and stripping ratio encountered, we do not currently conduct formal reconciliation of our producing mines to account for such data. Consequently, our resource and reserve estimates with respect to our producing mines are generally based only the information available to us at the time we prepare the project product report and, over the life of a mine, our actual production may show a higher level variation from our estimates than would be the case if we conducted a formal reconciliation process in accordance with international standards.

2. Our mines and washeries are concentrated in Jharia, Jharkhand and Raniganj, West Bengal and the eventual exhaustion of coal reserves in these areas or our inability to successfully exploit existing reserves may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

As of September 30, 2025, we operate a network of 34 operational mines, including 4 underground mines, 26 opencast mines, and 4 mixed mines. Our operations are entirely concentrated in the Jharia coalfield in Jharkhand and the Raniganj coalfield in West Bengal, which are critical sources of our coal production. This geographic concentration exposes us to significant risks, including the potential depletion of coal reserves in these regions.

The coal reserves in these regions are finite and may eventually be depleted. The exhaustion of coal reserves in Jharia, Jharkhand and Raniganj, West Bengal could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. The following table sets forth details of coal resources of our Company, as of March 31, 2025:

For further information, see “Our Business – Reserve and Resource Base Information” on page 229. Our dependence on these specific geographic locations also exposes us to several risks associated with the depletion of natural resources, including reduced production capacity and increased operational costs as we seek alternative sources of coal. Further, our inability to successfully exploit the existing reserves may also materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Further, any adverse developments in these areas may have a disproportionate impact on our operations. For instance, regulatory changes, such as stricter environmental regulations, could limit our ability to extract coal or increase our operational costs. Environmental concerns, including land degradation and pollution, may lead to increased scrutiny and potential restrictions on mining activities. Additionally, local socio-economic issues, such as labour disputes, community opposition, or infrastructure challenges, could result in operational delays, increased costs, or even temporary shutdowns. The geographic concentration of our operations also limits our flexibility to respond to disruptions. Natural disasters, such as floods or earthquakes, could severely impact our mining activities in these regions. While we have not experienced disruption in our operations in these regions due to natural disasters in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that these instances will not occur in the future.

3. A significant portion of our revenues is derived from production of raw coking coal, which accounted for

3677.20%, 74.13%, 75.72%, 75.75% and 74.79% of our revenue from operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any decline in demand for raw coking coal could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from the production of raw coking coal, which accounted for

77.20%, 74.13%, 75.72%, 75.75% and 74.79% of our revenue from operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The table below sets forth details of our coal production for the periods/years indicated:

Economic downturns or reduced industrial activity can lead to lower consumption of power 37and steel, thereby reducing the need for coking coal. Regulatory developments, such as stricter environmental regulations, may lead to increased compliance costs or reduced demand as industries shift towards more sustainable alternatives. Technological advancements in steel production and alternative materials could diminish the reliance on coking coal, while increased competition from other coal producers or alternative energy sources could impact our market share. Additionally, growing environmental concerns and shifts in industry practices towards cleaner energy sources may challenge our ability to maintain or grow our revenue from coking coal production. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions and trade policies could disrupt supply chains and affect the global market for coking coal. Failure to effectively manage these risks could result in significant financial losses and adversely impact our long-term growth prospects. While we have not experienced any decline in the demand for coking coal that has had any impact on our business, profitability, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. Any decline in demand for coking coal, whether due to fluctuations in global economic conditions, regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions, technological advancements in alternative materials, increased competition, or economic downturns, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

4. We have certain contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in the Restated Financial Information (₹ 35,985.90 million as of September 30, 2025), which if materialize, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

As of September 30, 2025, our contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in our Restated Financial Information, were as follows:

For further information, see “Restated Financial Information” on page 299.

5. We are dependent upon the pricing and continued supply of raw materials, the costs and supply of which can be subject to significant variation due to factors outside our control.

38Our competitiveness, costs and profitability depend, in part, on our ability to source and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of raw materials such as explosives, timber, oil and lubricants and HEMM spares at acceptable prices. The following tables set forth details of our cost of materials consumed in the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months period ended September 30, Six months period ended September 30, 2025 2024 Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of (in ₹ million) Revenue from (in ₹ million) Revenue from Operations (%) Operations (%) Explosives 1,314.70 2.32% 1,393.70 2.04% Timber 0.60 0.00% 0.60 0.00% Oil and lubricants 1,070.60 1.89% 1,242.10 1.81% HEMM spares 229.20 0.41% 294.40 0.43% Other consumable stores

In addition, competition in the industry may result in increase in prices of raw materials, which we may not be able to match, thereby affecting our procurement.

While we have not faced any disruptions in the procurement of raw materials in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that the same may not occur in the future.

Any disruption in the effective procurement of raw materials may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

6. Our business largely depends upon our top 10 customers which accounted for 83.89%, 82.46%, 88.88%,

80.79% and 83.10% of our revenue from operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our top 10 customers. Loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to any of our top 10 customers, in particular for any reason (including, due to loss of contracts or failure to negotiate acceptable terms, loss of market share of these customers in their industries, disputes with these customers, adverse change in the financial condition of these customers, decline in their sales, plant shutdowns, labour strikes or other work stoppages affecting production of these customers), could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The following table sets forth our revenues from our top ten customers in the periods/years indicated:

Additionally, as a majority of our top 10 customers are Public Sector Undertakings (“PSUs”), our business is significantly reliant on them, which exposes us to certain risks inherent to operating with PSUs. PSUs are subject to unique operational and regulatory constraints, including budgetary limitations, bureaucratic decision-making processes, and potential changes in government policies or priorities. Any material changes in the financial health, procurement policies, or strategic direction of these PSUs could adversely impact our business. Any disruption in these relationships could result in decreased sales volumes, increased costs, and reduced cash flows, thereby impacting our overall financial performance. In the past, one of our top 10 customers started their own captive coal production and their requirement from our Company ceased. Set forth below are details in relation to the revenue generated from the said customer in the six months period ended September 2025 and 2024 and the last

three Fiscals:

The loss of our major customers could necessitate the reallocation of resources and efforts to acquire new customers, which may not be immediately successful and could incur additional costs, and future occurrences of these instances may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

7. We depend on a limited number of vendors to provide contractual services and any disruptions in their supply of services could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We strategically collaborate with vendors to support our business activities, sourcing essential materials such as high-speed diesel and explosives, and procuring services including coal production, overburden removal, coal transportation and loading, and coal washing. We typically enter into contractual agreements with such vendors wherein the payment terms are contingent upon the volume of supply or production achieved. Any disruption in the supply of these services, whether due to vendor financial instability, operational inefficiencies, natural disasters, regulatory changes, or other unforeseen circumstances, could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct our exploration activities effectively and efficiently. The table below sets forth details of our expenses from our top 10 vendors for the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months Six months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 period ended period ended September September 30, 2025 30, 2024 Expenses in relation to top 17,404.63 15,483.23 35,760.66 26,312.74 21,575.77 10 vendors (in ₹ million) Expenses in relation to top 65.09% 59.40% 60.86% 53.16% 49.63% 10 vendors as a percentage of total purchases (%) Expenses in relation to top 28.48% 25.95% 28.16% 20.95% 17.28% 10 vendors as a percentage of total expenses (%)

Notes:

1. References to ‘vendors’ are to vendors in a particular period/Fiscal and do not refer to the same vendors across all periods/Fiscals.

2. In the six months period ended September 30, 2025, September 30, 2024 and Fiscals 2025,2024 and 2023 our top 10 vendors for include Devprabha Mining and Infra Private Limited, Devprabha Construction Private Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Tata Steel Limited, Khemka Carriers, Dhansar Engineering Company Private Limited, Hilltop Hirise Private Limited., R. K. Transport Company., SNR-SI-VSA (JV), Avinash Transport, Oriana Power Private Limited, AT Devprabha (JV), AMR Dev Prabha Consortium, BEML Limited, Meco Technologies Private Limited, Solar Industries India Limited and ACB (India) Limited. The names of other top 10 vendors have not been disclosed due to non-receipt of consents. For further details, see “Our Business – Vendors” on page 242.

Disruptions in the abovementioned services can lead to significant delays in our day-to-day mining operations, as alternative vendors may not be readily available or may require additional time to mobilize and commence operations. These delays can impact our ability to meet deadlines and deliver on commitments to stakeholders.

This reliance on a restricted vendor base poses a substantial risk to our operations and overall business performance. The limited availability of alternative service providers within the coal mining industry exacerbates this risk, as it reduces our ability to quickly and effectively mitigate disruptions by switching to other vendors.

The need to secure alternative vendors on short notice or under less favorable terms can result in increased operational costs. Additionally, delays can lead to higher indirect costs, such as extended field operations, increased labour costs, and potential penalties from customers. While have not faced any cost overruns in relation to contractual services availed from our vendors in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last 41three Fiscals, which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. The inability to conduct mining activities in a timely and efficient manner can negatively impact our business and results of operations. This includes potential loss of market opportunities, reduced competitiveness, and diminished stakeholder confidence.

While we have not faced any instances of disruption of services from our top 10 vendors in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. Any disruption of services from our top 10 vendors may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions, and cash flows.

8. A portion of our coal production and coal handling operations are conducted through third party contractors which exposes us to fluctuations in contractual costs and risks relating to the quality of their services.

A significant portion of our overburden removal operations are conducted through third party contractors.

Additionally, we also undertake extraction of coal through third party contractors, In the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, coal extraction conducted by third parties represented 84.21%, 79.78%, 78.47%, 74.93% and 72.04% of our total coal extraction operations, respectively.

We engage third party contractors for transportation of coal from pit head to loading points, transportation of materials, loading of coal on wagons and a range of activities ancillary to our mining operations. Under some operating agreements with third party contractors, the contractor is responsible for providing substantially all equipment, labor and management required for coal mining operations from the designated mining pits, including drilling, blasting, excavation, loading and transportation of the coal. We are exposed to risks relating to the quality of the services, equipment and supplies provided by contractors necessitating additional investments by us to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of contracted services and to pay for cost overruns. Any failure by our contractors to comply with their obligations under their operating agreements (whether as a result of financial or operational difficulties or otherwise), any termination or breach of our operating agreements by our contractors, any protracted dispute with a contractor, any material labor dispute between our contractors and their employees or any major labor action by those employees against our contractors could materially adversely affect the development or operation of the relevant mines. While we have not had any instances of failures by our contractors to comply with their obligations under their operating agreements in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. We may not be able to recover from a contractor any losses that may be suffered by us due to any performance shortfalls of our contractors, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

Further, certain of our vendors may be subject to litigations and regulatory action, including proceedings relating to compliance with applicable laws and contractual obligations. For example, the Enforcement Directorate has conducted search action under Section 17 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 on November 21, 2025, in connection with large scale illegal mining, theft, transportation, storage and sale of coal. During the search action, cash and jewellery/gold amounting to more than ₹140.00 million along with evidence, including property deeds linked to the coal syndicate and agreements related to the sale and purchase of land, and several digital devices, books of accounts of entities controlled by the said persons, etc. were found and seized. The premises are mainly linked to certain of our vendor, including few of our top 10 vendors, their companies/entities and related persons. While we maintain contractual safeguards, if such matters escalate or involve contractors performing critical work, they could result in localized delays, additional administrative oversight, and may attract public and shareholder attention and could pose reputational risks for the Company.

9. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coal India Limited and we rely on the support and resources provided by Coal India Limited. Any misalignment in strategic priorities or changes in Coal India Limited’s overall strategy could affect our long-term planning and operational stability and may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows Our relationship with Coal India Limited provides us with a solid foundation and resources that are pivotal to our success. Coal India Limited is the largest coal producing company in the world. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 200). We benefit significantly from their strategic support and vast resources. Our mining operations heavily rely on the financial, technical, and human resources allocated by Coal India Limited. Any changes in Coal India Limited’s resource allocation policies or priorities could impact our access to necessary resources, potentially hindering our operational efficiency and growth. This dependency means that any disruptions or constraints in Coal India Limited’s operations could directly affect our ability to maintain consistent and effective mining activities. Any changes in Coal India Limited’s resource allocation policies or priorities 42could impact our access to necessary resources, potentially hindering our operational efficiency and growth. This competition for resources necessitates careful management and strategic planning to ensure we receive adequate support for our operations. Our strategic goals and initiatives must align with those of Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries. Any misalignment in strategic priorities or changes in Coal India Limited’s overall strategy could affect our long-term planning and operational stability and may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

In addition to our reliance on Coal India Limited, our operations are also significantly dependent on the Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited (“CMPDIL”), another subsidiary of Coal India Limited. CMPDIL provides essential technical expertise, planning, and design services that are critical to our mining operations. This includes identifying coal reserves through drilling and seismic surveys, as well as conducting research in non- conventional energy sources such as coal bed methane. Any disruption in CMPDIL’s services, whether due to resource constraints, technological failures, or other operational issues, could adversely affect our ability to maintain efficient and safe mining operations. Furthermore, CMPDIL plays a crucial role in ensuring that our operations comply with environmental and safety regulations. Any lapses or delays in CMPDIL’s compliance- related services could expose us to regulatory penalties, legal liabilities, and reputational damage. While we have not been exposed to any regulatory penalties, legal liabilities or reputational damage on account of lapses or delays in CMPDIL’s compliance related services in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that the same will not occur in the future and the occurrence of any of the abovementioned instances may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

10. Our ability to negotiate coal distribution and allocation is significantly influenced by the regulatory framework established by the Government of India under the New Coal Distribution Policy.

The distribution and allocation of coal among our customers is regulated by the Government of India under the New Coal Distribution Policy (“NCDP”), which was introduced in 2007 to enhance transparency and streamline coal allocation across various sectors. As a subsidiary of CIL, our operations are significantly influenced by this policy framework. This regulatory environment, which includes Fuel Supply Agreements (“FSAs”) with consumers in both power and non-power sectors, supply to small and medium consumers through State Nominated Agencies (“SNAs”). This policy framework poses risks to our ability to optimize pricing and supply agreements, potentially impacting our financial performance and market competitiveness. The auction-based system and fixed pricing mechanisms may restrict our ability to adjust prices in response to market conditions, leading to potential revenue losses and lower profit margins. The reduced negotiating power may also limit our ability to secure favorable supply agreements with key customers, potentially affecting our market share and long-term growth prospects, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

11. Our business is dependent on the performance of certain industries particularly, the power and steel industries. Any adverse changes in the conditions affecting these industries can adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We rely significantly on the performance of industries such as the power and steel industries for our business as majority of our coal is dispatched to these industries. We are exposed to fluctuations in the performance of these industries. The following table sets forth details of the industry-wise sales of coal dispatch for the periods/years

indicated:

The power industry is subject to fluctuations in energy demand, fuel prices, regulatory policies, and technological changes, including the shift towards renewable energy sources. Economic downturns or changes in government policies can lead to reduced investment in power infrastructure, affecting demand for our products. Similarly, the steel industry is influenced by global economic conditions, trade policies, technological innovations, and shifts in construction and manufacturing activities. Economic recessions, changes in trade tariffs, or advancements in alternative materials can reduce the demand for steel, thereby impacting our business. Additionally, environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions can increase operational costs for steel producers, potentially leading to decreased demand for our products. Any negative developments in these sectors could lead to reduced demand for our products, increased operational costs, and challenges in maintaining our revenue levels, thereby impacting our overall financial stability. While we have not experienced instances of any negative developments in these sectors which have had an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future

12. Our mining operations involve activities which are inherently hazardous in nature and could result in a suspension of operations and/or the imposition of civil or criminal liabilities which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

Mining activities are inherently dangerous and hazardous and certain activities, including fire and gas explosions, gas emissions, inundations, movement of HEMMs, drilling and blasting can cause accidents during mining process resulting in serious injuries or death of employees or other persons, and cause damage to our properties or equipment and the properties of others. Despite ensuring that employee safety manuals covering employee safety and environmental procedures are in place and that hazard identification and risk assessments with respect to our operations are periodically carried out, our operations are subject to significant hazards, including explosions, gas emissions, fires, mechanical failures and other operational problems, inclement weather and natural disasters. In the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, we experienced a total of 2, nil, 5, 15 and 12 accidents at our mines and washeries. For example, an accident occurred at the Amalgamated Keshalpur West Mudidih Colliery of the Ramkanali, Katras region due to, inter alia, a rare combination of irregular and extreme climatic conditions, due to which the Directorate General of Mines Safety (“DGMS”) has issued a notice to suspend operations at a section of the mine till the rectification of the default is completed. The enquiry report prepared by our safety department also proposes for certain actions which include comprehensive risk assessment must be conducted to identify all the hazards, and a dedicated geotechnical monitoring cell to be established in Katras Area among others. Such measures shall be in place post finalisation of the enquiry report. With the exception of 2 accidents in six months period ended September 30, 2025, nil accidents in six months period ended September 30, 2024, 3 accidents in Fiscal 2025, 4 accidents in Fiscal 2024 and 4 accidents in Fiscal 2023 as mentioned above which led to fatalities, these accidents caused minor injuries to employees. Adequate compensation was duly paid as per the Workmen’s Compensation Act 1923, and as per the provisions of the office order of CIL as we do not have any insurance policies in relation to our employees, in all cases mentioned above. Currently, there are no unpaid amounts or dues pending in relation to the same.

The occurrence of any of these hazards could result in a suspension of operations and/or the imposition of civil or criminal liabilities. We may also face claims and litigation, filed on behalf of persons alleging injury predominantly as a result of occupational exposure to hazards at our units. If these claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, are resolved against us, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected. Further, regulatory authorities may require us to invest in 44additional safety protocols which impose incremental expenses and may impact our ability to operate at optimum efficiencies. Any such action by any of the regulatory authorities may adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

13. Our inability to collect receivables in time or at all and default in payment from our customers could result in the reduction of our profits and affect our cash flows.

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk in the usual course of our business dealings with our customers or vendors/third-party service providers who may delay or fail to make payments or perform their other contractual obligations. We maintain what we believe to be a reasonable allowance for doubtful receivables for potential credit losses based upon our historical trends and other available information, there is a risk that our estimates may not be accurate, and we cannot assure you that we will not experience such delays in payment or default by our customers in the future. The table below sets forth our trade receivables, trade receivables days, our bad debts written off, our disputed trade receivables, and our past due but not impaired receivables, as at the periods/years

indicated:

Particulars Six months Six months As at March As at March As at March period ended period ended 31, 2025 31, 2024 31, 2023 September September 30, 2025 30, 2024 Trade receivables (in ₹ million) 22,025.20 14,490.70 18,477.60 13,332.50 12,511.50 Trade receivable days (days) 60 28 40 25 36 Bad debts written off (in ₹ million) - - - - - Disputed trade receivables – which - - - - - have a significant increase in credit risk (in ₹ million) Past due but not impaired 3,903.20 2,633.90 3,737.80 3,220.50 1,480.50 (outstanding for more than 6 months from the due date of payment) (in ₹ million)

Note: Trade receivables days refers to trade receivables on the reporting date (excluding unbilled receivables) as appearing in the Restated Financial Information divided by revenue from operations multiplied by number of days in the Fiscal/six months.

Our trade receivables increased from ₹ 13,332.50 million as at March 31, 2024 to ₹ 18,477.60 million as at March 31, 2025 primarily due to performance incentive amounts being disputed by customers. Additionally, our trade receivable days increased from 25 days as at March 31, 2024 to 40 as at March 31, 2025 primarily due to delay in payments from customers of the power sector. Further, trade receivables increased from ₹ 14,490.70 million as at September 30, 2024 to ₹ 22,025.20 million as at September 30, 2025 primarily due to performance incentive amounts being disputed by customers. Additionally, our trade receivable days increased from 28 days as at September 30, 2024 to 60 as at September 30, 2025 primarily due to delay in payments from customers of the power sector. Any increase in our receivable turnover days in the future will negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. If the counterparties to our mining agreements and other contracts do not fulfil their obligations our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected. Our counterparties to our agreements may become subject to financial stress, insolvency or liquidation proceedings during the term of the relevant contracts, and the credit support received from such customers may not be sufficient to cover our losses in the event of a failure to perform. There may also be disputes raised by the counterparties to the amounts invoiced, or delays associated with collection of receivables from government owned or controlled entities on account of the financial condition of these entities. In addition, our customers may, for any reason, become unable or unwilling to fulfil their related contractual obligations, refuse to accept delivery thereunder or otherwise terminate such agreements prior to the expiration thereof. If such events occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected. There there have been delays in payment by customers on account of reasons stated above, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in future.

Further, macroeconomic conditions could also result in financial difficulties, including insolvency or bankruptcy, for our major customers, and as a result could cause customers to delay payments to us, request modifications to their payment arrangements, that could increase our receivables or affect our working capital requirements, or default on their payment obligations to us. An increase in bad debts or in defaults by our customers, may compel us to utilize greater amounts of our operating working capital and result in increased interest costs, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

14. If the price of imported coal decreases, or the effective price of our coal to our customers increases, our customers may elect to meet a larger proportion of their coal requirements from imported coal rather than 45coal sourced from us. Further, most of the coking coal produced by us is low grade which is used primarily in the power generation sector.

The quality of our coking coal is considered lower in comparison to coal from some other countries, primarily due to its higher ash content. As a result, most of our coking coal is diverted to power plants, limiting its potential applications in the steel industry. As of September 30, 2025, we operated five coal washeries with the objective of reducing the ash content in coking coal, thereby rendering it suitable for utilization in the steel industries. We are also developing three washeries with a capacity of 7.00 million tonnes per year to bolster our washed coal outputs. Our coal washing operations are in consonance with the initiatives of the GoI, including the vision of Atma-Nirbhar Bharat ensuring India's energy security by substituting imported coal with domestic coal (Source:

CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 197). However, if the price of imported coking coal decreases, or effective price of our raw coal to our customers increases as a result of increased production costs or increases in other duties and taxes payable on coal produced by us or otherwise, our customers may elect to meet a larger proportion of their coal requirements from imported coal rather than coal sourced from us, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

15. Our coal mining operations are subject to various operating risks, which could result in materially increased operating expenses and decreased production levels and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

Our coal mining operations are subject to a number of operating risks. These conditions and events include, among

others: • poor mining conditions resulting from geological, hydrologic or other conditions, including variations of coal seam thickness, the amount and type of rock and soil overburden overlying the coal seam and other discrepancies to our geological models;

• adverse weather and natural disasters, such as heavy rains, flooding and other natural events affecting operations, transportation or customers; • the unavailability of skilled and qualified labour and contractors;

• the unavailability of materials, equipment (including heavy earthmoving machinery) or other critical supplies such as tires and explosives, fuel, lubricants and other consumables of the type, quantity and/or size required to meet production expectations;

• the lack of capacity of, and longer distance from rail transportation facilities and rail transportation delays or interruptions; • delays, challenges to, and difficulties in acquiring, maintaining or renewing necessary permits, including environmental permits, or mining or surface rights;

• accessibility of mines; • delays or difficulties in, the unavailability of, or unexpected increases in the cost of acquiring, developing and permitting new mining reserves and surface rights; • competition and/or conflicts with other natural resource extraction activities and production within our operating areas;

• major incidents or accidents at our mine sites, such as slope failures in open cast mines, that causes all or part of the operations of a mine to cease for some period of time or collapse of panels, explosions or inundations in underground mines;

• unexpected equipment and instruments failures and maintenance problems; • law and order problems; • loss of man days due to industrial labour problems and unauthorized absentees of labour; • power interruptions;

• non-availability of utilities such as diesel fuel and water; • current and future health, safety and environmental regulations or changes in interpretation; and • implementation of current regulations.

These conditions and events may materially increase our cost of mining operations and delay or disrupt production at particular mines either permanently or for varying lengths of time, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the past we have faced time overruns in relation to few of our projects. In order to correct the same, we have implemented a range of corrective measures to ensure timely project completion. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of delays, we have taken steps to resolve land acquisition issues through coordination with local authorities, conducted scientific studies to address adverse conditions, and enhanced safety protocols to prevent incidents. For further details, please see “History and Certain Corporate Matters- Time/cost overrun in setting up projects” on page 264. Additionally, our operations involve high fixed costs, and any reduction in 46our ability to sustain or increase the level of production will have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

16. Our business is manpower intensive. Our business may be adversely affected by work stoppages, increased wage demands by our employees, or an increase in minimum wages, and if we are unable to engage new employees at commercially attractive terms.

Our operations are manpower intensive and we are dependent on our workforce for a significant portion of our operations. The success of our operations depends on the availability of and maintaining good relationships with our workforce. Shortage of workforce or disruptions caused by disagreements with workforce could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. While we have not experienced any labour unrest in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that we will not experience disruptions in work or our operations due to disputes, strikes, work stoppages, work slow-downs or lockouts at our mines or washeries, or other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations. Any labour unrest could directly or indirectly prevent or hinder our normal operating activities, and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our operations.

Our success also depends on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain skilled personnel. Our inability to recruit, train and retain suitably qualified and skilled personnel could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. As of September 30, 2025, we had 31,389 employees, including 1,811 executives and 29,578 non-executive personnel. For further information, see “Our Business – Employees” on page

248. The following table sets forth the details regarding rate of attrition of our executive and non-executive

employees in the years indicated:

Particulars As at/ for the As at/ for the As at/ for the As at/ for the year As at/ for the year six months six months year ended ended March 31, ended March 31, period ended period ended March 31, 2024 2023 September 30, September 30, 2025 2025 2024 Number of executive 1,811 1,890 1,810 1,894 2,001 employees Attrition rate of our 0.61% 0.58% 1.44% 2.43% 0.55% executive employees Number of non-executive 29,578 31,155 30,308 32,026 35,036 personnel Attrition rate of our non- 0.02% 0.02% 0.03% 0.07% 0.03% executive personnel

Note: Attrition rate represents number of resignations in the relevant category as a percentage of closing number of employees in the relevant category as at the end of respective period/year.

We cannot assure you that attrition rates for our employees will not increase. Further, we are subject to stringent labour laws, and any violation of these laws may lead regulators or other authorities to order a suspension of certain or all of our operations. We may need to increase compensation and other benefits either to attract and retain key personnel or due to increased wage demands by our employees, or an increase in minimum wages and that may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

17. We do not maintain insurance coverage in accordance with applicable industry standards and our insurance coverage may not be adequate or we may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our operations are subject to various risks inherent to mining activities and we do not maintain insurance coverage in accordance with applicable industry standards. Our business operations involve significant risks and occupational hazards that are inherent to mining activities and may not be eliminated through the implementation of preventive measures. These risks and hazards could result in personal injury, grievous hurt or even death of our personnel, which could result in additional litigation costs, damage to or destruction of properties, environmental damage, business interruption, legal liability, damage to our business reputation and corporate image and, in severe cases, fatalities. The occurrence of natural disasters including earthquake, fire, severe weather, floods, power outages and the consequences, damages and disruptions resulting from them may adversely affect our business and operations. We may become subject to liabilities, including liabilities for environmental or industrial 47accidents or pollution or other hazards, in addition to compensation payable to personnel affected by any such incidents. We currently maintain very limited insurance coverage, primarily for building, furniture and fixture.

We do not maintain insurance coverage for loss of our assets such as our equipment, plant and machinery etc. We do not maintain insurance coverage in accordance with applicable industry standards and do not have full coverage for all risks facing our operations and facilities discussed above and any claims against us could have a material and adverse effect on our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition. While we have not incurred losses vis-à-vis our insurance cover and have not had any past instances of our claim exceeding our insurance cover in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. For further information on the insurance policies availed by us, see “Our Business – Our Business Operations – Insurance” on page 250.

To the extent that we suffer any loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Any damage suffered by us in excess of such limited coverage amounts, or in respect of uninsured events, not covered by such insurance policies will have to be borne by us. While we have not experienced any instance where we incurred losses exceeding our insurance coverage in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in the future.

18. We are subject to several labour legislations and regulations governing welfare, benefits and training of our employees. Any increase in wage and training costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition and cash flows.

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to employee welfare and benefits such as minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, non-discrimination, hiring and termination of employees, employee compensation, employee insurance, bonus, gratuity, provident fund, pension, superannuation, leave benefits and other such employee benefits. Employee benefit expenses constituted the largest component of our total expenses for in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023. The following table sets forth the details regarding our employee benefits expense in the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months period ended September 30, Six months period ended September 30, 2025 2024 Amount Percentage of Total Amount Percentage of Total (in ₹ million) Expenses (%) (in ₹ million) Expenses (%) Employee benefits 30,375.20 49.70% 33,363.40 55.92% expense Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of (in ₹ Total Expenses (in ₹ Total Expenses (in ₹ Total Expenses million) (%) million) (%) million) (%) Employee 65,423.74 51.52% 69,506.70 55.34% 71,479.30 57.24% benefits expense In the event welfare requirements under labour legislations applicable to us are changed, employee benefits payable by us may increase, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover such increased costs. In addition, we rely on our ability to recruit, train and retain high quality and qualified employees in India. For further information on the labour laws and regulations applicable to us, see “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 253.

Additionally, if there is any failure by us in complying with applicable labour laws and regulations including in relation to employee welfare and benefits and training/ qualification requirements, we may be subject to criminal and monetary penalties, incur increased costs, have our operations suspended under applicable legislations, or disputed in litigation which may in turn disrupt our operations. Any failure to comply with applicable labour legislations may result in orders that may result in reputational loss and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

19. Our executive employees are seconded from Coal India Limited and the terms of their secondment may be altered at any time, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

Our executive employees are seconded from Coal India Limited. We pay the salaries of such executive employees on secondment and the same is not reimbursed by Coal India Limited, and the terms of their secondment may be 48altered at any time. This arrangement exposes us to several risks that could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Specifically, we may be subject to industrial unrest and increased employee costs, which could have a material impact on our financial performance and operational stability. The potential for industrial unrest arises from the uncertainty surrounding the terms of the secondment. Changes to these terms could lead to dissatisfaction among our executive employees, potentially resulting in strikes, work stoppages, or other forms of industrial action. Such unrest could disrupt our day-to-day operations, delay critical projects, and negatively impact our ability to meet business objectives. Additionally, alterations to the secondment terms could result in increased employee costs. These costs may include higher salaries, additional benefits, or other financial obligations that could place a strain on our budget. Increased employee costs could reduce our profit margins and limit our ability to invest in other areas of the business, such as research and development, marketing, or expansion.

Furthermore, the potential for changes in the secondment terms introduces an element of unpredictability into our workforce planning. This uncertainty could make it difficult to maintain a stable and consistent management structure, which is essential for the effective execution of our business strategy. Any disruptions to our executive leadership could lead to a loss of institutional knowledge, decreased operational efficiency, and a negative impact on employee morale, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

20. We do not have access to records and data pertaining to certain historical legal and secretarial information in relation to certain disclosures. Further, there are certain discrepancies in the records available with us.

We are unable to trace certain corporate and other documents such as copies of certain prescribed forms filed with the RoC relating to allotment of equity shares since incorporation of our Company. Despite having conducted search of our records and a search in the records of the RoC for the untraceable documents, which was conducted by M/s Mehta and Mehta, Company Secretaries, the practicing company secretary engaged by us, we have not been able to trace the aforementioned documents. While we believe that we had filed these forms with the RoC in a timely manner, we have not been able to obtain copies of all of these forms. Accordingly, we have relied on other documents, including corresponding board and/or shareholder resolutions, where available, statutory registers of members, allotment and share transfer, and audited financial statements for such matters. There may be inconsistencies between the date of filing of the relevant forms filed with the RoC for allotment of shares and the register maintained noting the allotment made.

21. We are exposed to risks arising from evolving environmental, social and climate related requirements and policies in relation to coal and mining activities which may lead to reduced demand of coal, and may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows Our operations are inherently exposed to environmental, social and climate-related risks. India’s reaffirmed obligations under the Paris Agreement, the consensus outcomes of COP28, and the national net-zero emissions target for 2070 collectively signal an accelerated long-term reduction in coal consumption. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 214) In furtherance of these commitments, the Government of India, state governments or regulatory agencies may, among other things, (i) impose or escalate carbon taxes, coal cess or linkage to future emissions-trading schemes, (ii) enforce more stringent air-quality, water-discharge and methane- emission standards, (iii) limit fresh mine allocations or restrict expansion of existing mines, (iv) mandate progressive integration of carbon-capture, utilisation and storage technologies, or (v) strengthen liabilities for mine closure and post-closure restoration. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 214).

These evolving policies, together with increasing environmental litigation by local communities, non- governmental organisations and other stakeholders, could result in higher compliance and capital expenditure, forced production curtailments, accelerated asset retirement, prolonged permitting delays, or substantial penalties and compensation orders. Any of the foregoing may adversely impact our production volumes, cost structure and revenue visibility and long-term reserves valuation. Environmental, social and climate-change risks, whether currently known or emerging, may materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

22. We are dependent upon our equipment and machinery infrastructure, which is subject to disruption, damage, failure and risks associated with maintenance, upgrade and integration. Any failure to effectively maintain or upgrade our equipment and machinery infrastructure may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

50We are significantly dependent on our machinery and equipment infrastructure for our business and operations.

Set forth below are details of our property, plant and equipment for the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months period ended September 30, Six months period ended September 30, 2025 2024 Amount Percentage of Total Amount Percentage of Total (in ₹ million) Assets (%) (in ₹ million) Assets (%) Property Plant and 49,362.10 26.38% 38,848.50 24.87% Equipment Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of (in ₹ Total Assets (in ₹ Total Assets (in ₹ Total Assets million) (%) million) (%) million) (%) Property Plant 42,644.10 24.67% 34,385.70 23.34% 29,078.10 21.84% and Equipment Our machinery and equipment is subject to wear and tear, obsolescence, and potential failures, which could result in unplanned downtime, reduced production efficiency, and increased maintenance costs. Any significant disruption, damage, or failure of this infrastructure could lead to delays in project completion, reduced service delivery, and increased operational costs. Our network of mines are supported by a well-developed infrastructure, including transport facilities both railways and roads, and evacuation facilities. For details on the modes of our coal dispatch, see “Our Business – Our Business Operations – Coal Dispatch” on page 240. Our operations are also supported by equipment/machineries that includes 507 heavy earth moving machinery, as of September 30, 2025, comprising dragline, shovel, dumper, dozer and drills for the extraction, processing, and dispatch of coal, which are critical for our operations. Any failure or downtime of this equipment could significantly impact our ability to meet timelines and client expectations. An instance occurred in September 2025 when the washed product storage silo at the 5.0 MTPA NLW New Madhuband Washery collapsed. This reduced the washery’s operational capacity by nearly half and disrupted operations. Reconstruction of the silo is expected to take about two years. The incident has caused operational challenges and financial impact due to lower handling capacity and loss of projected revenue during the reconstruction period. While no human casualty/injury or other loss was caused in said accident, however we cannot assure you that such incidents will not occur in future and losses will not be caused in future. Except for the aforementioned, we have not had instances of any failure or downtime of our equipment which had an adverse impact on operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals. We cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. Additionally, our ability to maintain and upgrade our machinery and equipment infrastructure is contingent upon various factors, including the availability of skilled personnel and access to necessary resources and materials. The loss of key personnel or failure to attract and retain skilled labour could hinder our efforts to maintain and upgrade our infrastructure, thereby increasing the risk of operational disruption.

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the use of relevant equipment. The failure, accident, defects, faulty maintenance or repair, or improper use or lack of timely servicing of our equipment could cause an injury to our employees or patients or other individuals. While we have had no accidents in relation to our equipment in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such accidents will not happen in the future. Any significant malfunction or breakdown of our equipment also may entail significant repair and maintenance costs and cause disruptions in our operations. Additionally, our machinery and equipment infrastructure is also subject to depreciation, which systematically allocates the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. This depreciation reduces the carrying value of the assets over time, which can impact our overall financial condition. The depreciation of these assets is calculated based on various assumptions, including estimated useful lives, residual values, and the chosen depreciation methods. Any changes in these assumptions or inaccuracies in the estimates can lead to variations in the depreciation expense, impacting our financial condition and results of operations. Factors such as technological advancements, changes in market conditions, regulatory requirements, and operational challenges can affect the useful lives and residual values of our assets.

Further, unforeseen events such as natural disasters, equipment failures, or obsolescence can necessitate accelerated depreciation or impairment charges. These factors may result in higher depreciation expenses and lower net book values of our assets, adversely affecting our profitability and cash flows. While we have not had instances of an inaccurate estimation of our depreciation expenses in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, any significant changes in these estimates could result in higher depreciation expenses, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

51Additionally, if we are unable to respond or adapt to changing trends and standards in machines, equipment and technologies, or otherwise adapt our machines, equipment and technologies to changes in market conditions or requirements, in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost, we may not be able to compete effectively and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.

23. Our Company, Corporate Promoter, SMPs and KMPs are involved in certain legal and regulatory proceedings. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

There are certain outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings involving our Company, Corporate Promoter, SMPs and KMPs which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent that such amounts are ascertainable and quantifiable and include amounts claimed jointly and severally, as applicable. Any unfavourable decision in connection with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our reputation, continuity of our management, business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. The summary of such outstanding material legal and regulatory proceedings as on the date of this Red Herring

Prospectus is set out below:

An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, prospects, cash flows, results of operations and our reputation. For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 464.

24. A significant part of our business transactions are with government entities or agencies, which may expose us to various risks, including additional regulatory scrutiny and delayed collection of receivables.

52A significant majority of the coal produced by us is sold to public sector thermal power companies and utilities.

Coal sold to government-owned and controlled power generation companies and utilities contributed 66.13%,

60.39%, 63.39%, 61.75% and 56.46% of our revenue from operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We may be subject to additional regulatory or other scrutiny associated with commercial transactions with government owned or controlled entities and agencies. In addition, there may be delays associated with collection of receivables from government owned or controlled entities, including from our significant customers that are power utilities. Although, there have been no significant delays in collection of receivables from government owned or controlled entities in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure that such delays might not happen in the future. Contracts with government agencies are subject to various uncertainties, restrictions, and regulations including oversight audits by various government authorities and profit and cost controls. In addition, government contracts are subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of other socio-economic requirements. We must also comply with various regulations applicable to government companies relating to employment practices, recordkeeping and accounting. These regulations and requirements affect how we transact business with our customers and, in some instances, impose additional costs on our business operations. We are also subject to routine government audits and while we have been subject to routine government audits, we have not been subject to any investigations and proceedings in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. If we violate applicable rules and regulations, fail to comply with contractual or regulatory requirements or do not satisfy an audit, we may be subject to a variety of penalties including monetary penalties and criminal and civil sanctions, which may harm our reputation and could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

25. In the past, our Company had been referred to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (“BIFR”) for the purpose of financial and operational restructuring. Any potential recurrence of financial challenges may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

In the past, our Company had been referred to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (“BIFR”) for the purpose of financial and operational restructuring. We were referred to the BIFR on December 18, 1995 and May 4, 2001, primarily due to issues such as net worth becoming negative. The revival plan approved by the BIFR included measures such as modernisation of underground mines, increased investment in heavy earth moving machinery (“HEMM”), closure of heavy loss making mines, continue deploying hired HEMM in in isolated patches and open up a few large open cast mines to be operated by hired HEMM. The implementation of this plan was completed and our Company was formally approved for revival by the BIFR on December 22, 1997 and February 12, 2013.

Since emerging from the BIFR process, we have demonstrated improved financial performance and operational efficiency. The table below sets forth details of our revenue from operations for the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months Six months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 period ended period ended September September 30, 2025 30, 2024 Revenue from operations (in ₹ 56,590.20 68,461.90 138,025.50 142,458.60 126,240.60 million) Net worth* (in ₹ million) 58,308.90 60,597.40 65,512.30 53,554.70 37,910.10 *Net Worth is the total equity attributable to equity-holders of the Company, as appearing in the Restated Financial Information less Other Comprehensive Income – Re-measurement of Defined Benefits Plans (Net of Tax) Reserve.

Although we have since successfully emerged from the BIFR process and has been operating profitably, we are susceptible to certain risks that could potentially impact our future operations. The previous BIFR proceedings indicate that our Company has faced significant financial and operational challenges in the past. While these issues have been resolved, there is a risk that similar financial difficulties or operational inefficiencies could arise in the future. Such events could lead to increased scrutiny from regulatory authorities, potential loss of investor confidence, and adverse impacts on our financial performance and market reputation. Furthermore, our Company’s historical association with BIFR may continue to influence the perception of our financial stability among stakeholders, including investors, creditors, and customers. This perception could potentially affect our ability to secure financing on favourable terms or maintain strong relationships with key business partners. The recurrence of similar financial difficulties or operational inefficiencies could lead to increased scrutiny from regulatory authorities and potential loss of investor confidence, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

5326. Our operations are sensitive to seasonal changes and seasonal variations such as monsoon or extreme temperatures can disrupt our mining activities which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

Our coal mining operations are sensitive to seasonal changes, which can materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Seasonal variations, such as monsoon rains, extreme temperatures, and adverse weather conditions, can disrupt mining activities, reduce productivity, and increase operational costs. During the monsoon season, heavy rainfall can lead to flooding, waterlogging, and landslides, which may hinder access to mining sites, damage equipment, and pose safety risks to our workforce.

Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can affect the efficiency of mining equipment and the health and safety of our employees, leading to potential delays and increased costs. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operating expenses, but our revenues from operations may be delayed or reduced.

Additionally, seasonal changes can impact the transportation and logistics of coal, affecting our ability to deliver products to customers on time. Adverse weather conditions can disrupt transportation routes, cause delays in shipments, and increase transportation costs. While we have faced a decline in our production in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscal 2025 due to heavy rains, any future disruptions in our operations due to adverse weather conditions could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, and we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future.

27. We have entered into agreements with private players to restore operations in discontinued underground mines through the Mine Developer and Operator (“MDO”) model on a revenue-sharing basis. Any misalignment in objectives, operational strategies, or execution timelines between us and the MDOs could lead to suboptimal outcomes and negatively impact our overall business performance.

In furtherance of our diversification strategy, we have initiated steps to restore operations in discontinued underground mines through the MDO model on a revenue-sharing basis. As of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, six out of ten identified mines have been awarded to private players and third-parties. The table below sets forth details of mines where we have signed such revenue sharing agreements as on the date of this Red

Herring Prospectus:

S. No. Name of Mine Location Peak Rated Percentage of Capacity Revenue Share (Million Tonnes) (%)

1. Amalgamated Salanpur Dhanbad, Jharkhand 1.40 9.00% Gaslitand Katras Choitudih Colliery (ASGKCC)

2. PB Project Colliery Dhanbad, Jharkhand 2.70 6.00%

3. Loyabad Colliery Dhanbad, Jharkhand 1.28 7.29%

4. Kharkharee Colliery Dhanbad, Jharkhand 1.20 12.02%

5. Madhuband Colliery Dhanbad, Jharkhand 1.50 5.40%

6. Amlabad Colliery Dhanbad, Jharkhand 0.30 4.10% For further details, see “Our Business – Strategies – Transform discontinued mines into profitable ventures through resource monetization, and strategic repurposing” on page 226. While this initiative presents potential growth opportunities, it also introduces several risks that could impact our operations and financial performance.

The restoration of operations in discontinued underground mines is a complex process that requires specialized expertise and infrastructure. The MDO model involves third-party operators who may face challenges in integrating with our existing systems and adhering to our operational standards. Any delays or inefficiencies in the restoration and operation of these mines could result in lower-than-expected production levels and financial returns. Additionally, the technical competence and operational efficiency of the third-party operators are critical factors that could impact the success of these projects. Further, the mining industry is subject to stringent regulatory and environmental standards. Compliance with these regulations is essential, and any non-compliance by the MDOs could result in fines, operational restrictions, or suspension of operations. Ensuring that third-party operators maintain strict compliance with all relevant regulations is crucial to avoid potential legal and financial consequences. We will need to closely monitor and support the MDOs to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements.

The revenue-sharing basis of the MDO model means that our financial returns are contingent upon the successful operation and profitability of the mines by the third-party operators. Fluctuations in commodity prices, operational 54costs, or market demand could impact the financial performance of these mines, thereby affecting our revenue share. Additionally, the capital-intensive nature of mining operations may strain the financial resources of the MDOs, potentially impacting their ability to meet their obligations under the revenue-sharing agreements. We will need to carefully manage our financial exposure and ensure that adequate safeguards are taken in selection of MDOs so that they are able to fulfil their commitments. Effectively managing and coordinating with multiple third-party operators requires robust strategic planning and execution capabilities. Any misalignment in objectives, operational strategies, or execution timelines between us and the MDOs could lead to suboptimal outcomes and negatively impact our overall business performance. Furthermore, the reliance on third-party operators may limit our direct control over the mining operations, potentially affecting our ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions or operational challenges, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

28. We face a risk of reduced demand of our coal due to the emergence of renewable energy as an alternative source of energy. Significant shift towards sustainable energy solutions may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

The increasing development and adoption of renewable energy sources pose significant risks to our business operations and financial performance as our revenue from operations is primarily generated from the production of coal. The global shift towards renewable energy, driven by environmental concerns, technological advancements, and supportive government policies, is altering the energy landscape and reducing the demand for traditional fossil fuels, including coal. This transition is likely to result in a reduced reliance on coal for power generation, which could lead to decreased demand for our coal. As renewable energy sources become more cost- effective and widely adopted, the market for coal may shrink, impacting our revenue streams. Advancements in renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind power, are making these sources increasingly competitive with traditional fossil fuels. The declining costs of renewable energy installations and improvements in energy storage technologies are further accelerating the transition away from coal. We may face challenges in adapting to these changes and diversifying our service offerings to remain relevant in a market that is increasingly favouring renewable energy solutions.

29. If the assumptions underlying our reclamation and mine closure obligations are materially inaccurate, our costs could be significantly greater than anticipated.

The GoI establishes operational, reclamation and closure standards for all aspects of surface mining. As of September 30, 2025, we operate a network of 34 operational mines, including four underground mines, 26 opencast mines, and four mixed mines, and we have significant ongoing mine reclamation and rehabilitation obligations. We estimate our total reclamation and mine-closing liabilities based on mining plans, environmental impact assessment and environmental management plan reports prepared by CMPDIL and statutory and regulatory guidelines, engineering studies and our engineering expertise related to these requirements. The reclamation effort is reviewed periodically by MoC and implemented by our management and engineers. For further information on provisions relating to mine closure obligations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations” on page 446. The final land reclamation or mine closure liability at the end of the life of the mine depends on the outcome of various events including top soil management, water and air quality treatment, plantation, restructuring of mines, during the period of operation. We make provisions on the basis of current estimates for such liability with effect from Fiscal

2010. As on September 30, 2025, we have made provisions for such expenditure amounting to ₹ 7,100.00 million.

Further, we are required to deposit funds with a bank to secure its obligations under the mine closure plan and the shifting and rehabilitation fund scheme. These deposits are released to us on a periodic basis, specifically every five years, subject to compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements and conditions stipulated by the respective authorities. The estimated liability can change significantly if actual costs vary from our original assumptions or if governmental regulations change significantly, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

30. We operate in a competitive environment which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

The Indian coal industry is highly fragmented with a presence of few large players and several medium and small players. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 175). In India, we have only Central Coalfields Limited as our main competitor in the coking coal segment as these are the major commercial players selling coking coal. Other producers like SAIL and Tata Steel do not sell coking coal commercially and consume it for captive purposes and are not considered as peers (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 202).

However, another Coal India Limited subsidiary, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited, who is the largest non-coking 55coal producers can be considered as competition in non-coking coal segment. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 202) We operate and sell our products in competitive markets and the competition is expected to occur principally on the basis of price, quality and availability. As a result, to remain competitive in our markets, we must continuously strive to reduce our costs of production, transportation and distribution and improve our operating efficiencies. Our competitors may include large companies that have over a period of time acquired certain local interests as part of their strategy. These competitors may limit our opportunity to increase our market share and may compete with us on pricing of products. Some of our competitors may be larger than we are, some may be diversified with operations across India, may have greater financial resources, technology, research and development capability, than we do and may have access to a cheaper cost of capital and may be able to produce more efficiently or to invest larger amounts of capital into their businesses. Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to compete with our competitors and sell coking coal at comparable prices. Additionally, if one of our competitors acquire any of our customers or suppliers, we may lose business from the customer or lose a supplier of a critical raw materials, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

31. We are subject to trade union activity, and labor disputes could lead to lost production and/or increased costs which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

The majority of our non-executive employees are members of several unions including certain registered trade unions such as Indian National Trade Union Congress ("INTUC"), the All India Trade Union Congress ("AITUC"), the Hind Mazdoor Sabha ("HMS"), the Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh ("BMS") and the Confederation of Indian Trade Unions ("CITU"), which makes us susceptible to the risk of labor disputes and trade union activity.

These disputes may arise from a variety of factors, including but not limited to, disagreements over wages, working conditions, job security, or other employment-related matters. In the event of labor disputes, we may experience significant disruptions in our production processes, leading to lost production time and potential delays in the delivery of our products or services. These disruptions could result from strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, or other forms of industrial action taken by our employees or their representatives.

Moreover, resolving labor disputes may involve increased labor costs, including higher wages, additional benefits, or other concessions to employees. These increased costs, combined with the potential loss of production, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Additionally, labor disputes may lead to increased legal and administrative expenses as we seek to negotiate and resolve the issues at hand. These expenses could include legal fees, arbitration costs, and other related expenditures. The uncertainty surrounding labor disputes could also negatively affect employee morale and productivity, even among those not directly involved in the dispute. While we have not experienced any trade union unrest in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that the abovementioned instances will not occur in the future.

32. Except for Sanoj Kumar Jha and Arun Kumar Oraon, none of our Directors currently possess experience of being on the board of any Indian listed company in India.

Except for Sanoj Kumar Jha, Mukesh Choudhary and Arun Kumar Oraon who possess experience of being on board of Indian company(ies), which are listed on the Stock Exchanges, none of our Directors possess experience of being on the board of any Indian listed company and accordingly, they may not be adequately well-versed with the activities or industry practices undertaken by the listed company in India. We cannot assure you that this lack of adequate experience will not have any adverse impact on the management and operations of our Company. The details of Directors who are or were directors of the Indian Companies, which are listed on the Stock Exchanges

are as below:

S. Name of Director Name of Listed Company where No. Directorship is/was held

1. Sa noj Kumar Jha NLC India Limited and Coal India Limited

2. M ukesh Choudhary Coal India Limited

3. Ar un Kumar Oraon* Coal India Limited *Arun Kumar Oraon was previously a director on the board of Coal India Limited

33. We have capital expenditure requirements and may require financing in the future and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain the required financing when needed.

56We have incurred capital expenditure to expand and upgrade our existing operations. The following table sets forth details of our capital expenditure in the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months period ended September 30, Six months period ended September 30, 2025 2024 Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of (in ₹ million) Revenue from (in ₹ million) Revenue from Operations (%) Operations (%) Capital expenditure 3,435.70 6.07% 4,724.36 6.90% Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of Amount Percentage of (in ₹ Revenue from (in ₹ Revenue from (in ₹ Revenue from million) Operations million) Operations million) Operations (%) (%) (%) Capital 18,149.40 13.15% 12,375.30 8.69% 9,865.30 7.81% expenditure We have met our past capital expenditure requirements in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, through internal accruals and cashflow from operations. We may face risks relating to capital investment projects exceeding original budgets, failing to generate expected benefits, or not being completed as planned, which may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Our sources of additional capital required to meet our capital expenditure plans, may include the incurrence of debt or the issue of equity or debt securities or a combination of both. Further, our budgeted resources may prove insufficient to meet our requirements which could drain our internal accruals or compel us to raise additional capital. If we are required to raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest and debt repayment obligations will increase, and could have a significant effect on our profitability and cash flows and we may be subject to additional covenants, which could limit our ability to access cash flows from operations. We may also become subject to additional restrictive covenants in our financing agreements, which could limit our ability to access cash flows from operations and undertake certain types of transactions. Any issuance of equity, on the other hand, may result in a dilution of the shareholding of existing shareholders. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.

34. Our business requires working capital. Any failure in arranging adequate working capital for our operations may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Our business operations are subject to high working capital requirements. We require working capital for running day to day operating activities, to meet short term obligations. The table below sets forth details regarding our working capital turnover ratio, trade receivable days and trade payable days for the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months Six months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 period ended period ended September 30, September 30, 2025 2024 Working capital (in 108.50 11,520.50 13,514.90 12,558.30 (2,603.40)^ ₹ million) Working capital 7.72 5.29 10.04 26.44 (75.86)^ turnover ratio(1) Trade receivables 60 28 40 25 36 days(2)

(1) Working capital turnover ratio is calculated as net sales divided by average working capital. Average working capital is calculated as opening working capital plus closing working capital, divided by two.

(2) Trade receivables days refers to trade receivables on the reporting date (excluding unbilled receivables) as appearing in the Restated Financial Information divided by revenue from operations multiplied by number of days in the Fiscal/six months.

^ We recorded negative working capital and working capital turnover ratio in Fiscal 2023 primarily because of an additional provision of approximately ₹4,600 million was recognized for the arrears payable under the National Coal Wage Agreement XI (“NCWA-XI”). Although the agreement was effective from July 1, 2021 and estimated amounts had been provided in earlier periods, the finalization of negotiations under the NCWA-XI in Fiscal 2023 prompted Coal India Limited to instruct all subsidiaries to increase the liability recorded in that year.

Our working capital requirements may increase due to the expansion of operations, longer operating cycles, and higher inventory levels. Additionally, increased receivables, rising costs, and regulatory changes can also contribute to higher working capital needs. These factors may result in increases in the amount of, our receivables, short-term borrowings and the cost of availing such working capital funding. Additionally, our inability to obtain 57adequate amount of working capital at such terms which are favourable to us and in a timely manner or at all may also have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Continued increases in our working capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

35. We have significant power and fuel requirements and any disruption to power or fuel sources could increase the costs of our operations and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We require substantial power and fuel for the operation of our mines and washeries and our mining activities. The following table sets forth below our power and fuel expenses in the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months Six months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 period ended period ended September September 30, 2025 30, 2024 Power and fuel expenses 4,583.00 4,940.30 9,390.40 11,124.90 13,459.20 (in ₹ million) Power and fuel expenses as a percentage of

8.10% 7.22% 6.80% 7.81% 10.66% revenue from operations (%) We source high speed diesel from several public sector oil companies. We require electricity for our mining operations for the operation of various equipment and facilities and for lighting of our facilities and offices. We require bulk and cartridge explosives and accessories for blasting of overburden and coal. Agreements are executed by Coal India Limited and we procure explosives and accessories based on the allocations provided by Coal India Limited and our specific requirements. We source electricity primarily from Damodar Valley Corporation and relevant state electricity power boards. In case the cost of electricity from state electricity boards or the cost of the fuel increases significantly and we are not able to pass on such increase to our customers, our cost of production and profitability will be adversely affected. Interruptions of electricity and fuel supply can result in production shutdowns, increased costs associated with restarting production and the loss of production in progress. Any significant increase in power price or increased interruptions may require us to add captive power generation capacity which will lead to incremental capital expenditure which may adversely impact our results from operations. While we have not had any electricity or fuel supply interruptions in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. Further, if energy costs were to rise, or if electricity supplies or supply arrangements were disrupted, our business, results from operations, financial conditions and cash flows may be adversely impacted.

36. Our operations are regulated by the Government of India, State Governments and various statutory and regulatory authorities. The compliance requirements and costs associated with existing statutory and regulatory requirements and adverse regulatory or policy developments can have an adverse impact on our operations.

Our operations are subject to regulation by the GoI, the relevant State Governments within which we operate, and various central, State, provincial and municipal statutory and regulatory authorities and agencies, including without limitation the MoC, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Ministry of Mines ("MoM"), the DGMS, the Controller of Coal, Controller of Explosives (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation) and State Pollution Control Boards. These authorities and agencies regulate many aspects of India's coal industry, including, among others, the following aspects:

• grant and renewal of coal exploration rights and mining rights; • acquisition of land and surface rights; • environmental matters and pollution control, including forest land related approvals; • grant of mining licences;

• grant of approval for blasting, explosives and depillaring; • conditions relating to continuing mining operations;

58• safety and health standards; • labor matters; • distribution of coal produced by us in accordance with applicable GoI policies; • allocation of coal linkages and coal supply under long-term fuel supply agreements and under the e-auction schemes • coal export and import; and • royalty, cess and other duties and taxes payable.

The compliance requirements and costs associated with existing and any new policies and statutory and regulatory requirements may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows. In addition, there can be no assurance that our results of operations will not be adversely affected by any future changes in such regulations and policies.

37. If the Government of India (“GoI”) demarcates certain coal-bearing forest areas in India into various categories which includes a category in which mining activities are prohibited, our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our business, results of operations, financial conditions, and cash flows may be adversely affected if the GoI demarcates certain coal-bearing forest areas in India into various categories, including a category in which mining activities are prohibited. A portion of our coal reserves is located in these forest areas, and any restriction on mining activities could lead to a reduction in our accessible reserves and production capacity. This, in turn, may result in lower coal output, decreased sales volume, and a negative impact on our revenue and profitability.

Additionally, we may incur increased operational costs and capital expenditures as we seek to acquire alternative mining areas or implement new technologies to maintain our production levels. The uncertainty surrounding these potential regulatory changes could also affect market confidence in our Company, leading to a decline in our share price and a reduction in shareholder value, adversely affecting our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

38. Any failure of our information technology systems and tools could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

We have information technology systems and tools that support our operations, including project management, data analysis, communication, and other critical functions. Our information technology infrastructure includes enterprise resource planning systems, which integrate various business processes for seamless data flow and improved decision-making. We utilize geographic information systems to map and manage mining operations, providing detailed spatial data for better planning and resource management. We have made, and will continue to make, significant investments in information technology systems and tools. Such expenditure may adversely affect our operating results if they are not offset by corresponding increase in our operational efficiency.

Our systems are subject to potential failures, including hardware malfunctions, software errors, and network disruptions. Any significant downtime or system failure could disrupt our operations, leading to delays in project execution, reduced productivity, and increased costs. We may also face challenges in recovering data and restoring normal operations, which could further exacerbate the impact of such failures. Our systems and proprietary data stored electronically may be vulnerable to computer viruses, cybercrime, computer hacking and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. While we have not had an occurrence of any of the abovementioned instances in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, if such unauthorized use of our systems were to occur, data related to our operations and other confidential information could be compromised. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

39. Extensive governmental regulation relating to employee safety and health impose significant costs. A violation of health and safety requirements and the occurrence of accidents could disrupt our operations and increase operating costs.

Central and State safety and health regulations applicable to the coal mining industry in India consist of a comprehensive regulatory framework for protection of employee safety, and compliance with these requirements imposes significant costs. Moreover, new health and safety legislation and regulations may be introduced that may adversely affect our operations. The Directorate General of Mines Safety (“DGMS”) is responsible for the implementation of health and safety laws and regulations applicable to our coal mining operations. Any failure to 59comply with applicable health and safety laws and regulations could result in temporary shutdowns of all, or a portion of our mines and coal processing and handling facilities, which may disrupt our operations and result in imposition of costly remedial measures. If we fail to comply with the relevant health and safety laws and regulations or fail to pass applicable safety inspections, our business reputation could also be adversely impacted.

While there has been an instance in the last three fiscals of the DGMS filing a complaint before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad against senior officers of our Company, relating to operational lapses involving the illegal operation of a diesel dozer, non-compliance with statutory directions, and unauthorized disposal of coal stock we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. Any failure to adhere to relevant health and safety laws may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

In relation to the same, we undertook corrective measures, including but not limited to, the following: i) all statutory provisions to prevent such types of accidents /incidents are being observed by Colliery management; ii) Special attention and training are being imparted to the concerned employees to avoid the reoccurrence such type of accident in future; iii) related officers of the mines are also cautioned to take appropriate steps from their own end to prevent reoccurrence of similar accidents in future; iv) Fitness of Diesel Bousers are being checked by concerned Supervisors on regular basis; v) Fresh SOP and COP for operation & maintenance of Diesel Bousers are formulated by concerned Mines Manager and provided to the concerned employees; and vi) related officers are advised to ensure its implementation of the measures

40. Changes in taxation or other governmental policies relating to coal or related sectors may adversely affect the pricing, demand, or profitability of our coking coal operations.

Our operations, demand and profitability are dependent on policies and regulations framed by the Central and State Governments relating to the coal sector, including taxes, duties, royalties, levies and other such charges amongst others, applicable to the mining, sale, and transportation of coal. Any adverse changes in such taxation or policy regime, including any variation in GST rates, royalty rates, cess or other levies, or the introduction of new taxes applicable to coal or allied industries, could lead to an increase in our cost of production and negatively impact our margins. Further, any change in policy impacting the pricing of coking coal, including restrictions on imports, changes in allocation frameworks, or environmental regulations, may adversely affect demand for our products or alter the competitive landscape of the industry. There can be no assurance that the Government will not introduce or amend laws, regulations or policies in a manner that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

41. Failure to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows Given the nature of our business and the industry in which we operate, we are subject to extensive government regulation and are required to obtain certain approvals, registrations, permissions and licenses from regulatory authorities, to undertake our operations including environmental approvals, clearances and labour and tax related approvals. For further information on the nature of approvals and licenses required for our business and details of their validity, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 478. These approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions may be subject to numerous conditions. If we fail to obtain some or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, or if we fail to comply with applicable conditions or it is claimed that we have breached any such conditions, our license or permission for carrying on a particular activity may be suspended or cancelled and consequently we may not be able to carry on such activity, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. If we fail to meet the environmental requirements, we may be subject to administrative, civil and criminal proceedings by Government entities, as well as civil proceedings by environmental groups and other individuals, which could result in substantial fines and penalties against us as well as revocation of approvals and permits and orders that could limit or halt our operations. While there have been instances in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the preceding three Fiscals where we were subject to penalties cumulatively amounting to ₹ 4.15 million on account of violation of environmental laws, such instances did not have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that we may not be subject to such penalties in the future.

We have and may need to in the future, apply for certain additional approvals, including the renewal of approvals, which may expire from time to time. We have, inter alia, made applications for certain consents and approvals which are pending as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. For instance, we have made application for registration of our logo as a trademark under class 37 and class 4 with the Trademarks Registry the status of which is “Formalities Check Pass”, renewal applications for no objection certificate for groundwater abstraction under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 for certain of our facilities and application for issuance of fire safety no objection certificate for our Registered and Corporate Office. We also in the ordinary course of business keep 60applying for approvals and licenses for blocks of mines that we propose to operate in the future. For details, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 478.

We cannot assure you that such approvals and licenses will be granted or renewed in a timely manner or will not be cancelled or withdrawn by the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain or renew such approvals and licenses in a timely manner would make our operations non-compliant with applicable laws and may result in the imposition of penalties by relevant authorities and may also prevent us from carrying out our business.

42. Any shortage in the availability or the reliability of transportation infrastructure and capacities for the offtake of our coal may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

We depend primarily on a combination of rail and road transportation to deliver coal to our customers. Although we utilize significant road transportation facilities, rail transportation operated by the Indian Railways is the main transportation mode utilized by us for coal transportation, particularly for long distance supply arrangements. We are also dependent on third party road transportation providers including truckers, for the supply of coal from the mine to the beneficiation facilities and the railway sidings and further for the supply of our coal to customers.

Non-availability of adequate road transportation, including in the form of transportation strikes may have an adverse effect on our receipt of materials and offtake arrangements for coal produced by us. In addition, road and rail transportation may be adversely affected as a result of adverse weather conditions, mechanical failures, infrastructure damage, accidents, strikes, insurgency threats in the regions we operate in or other factors beyond our control, which could adversely affect our ability to supply coal and comply with our supply obligations under applicable coal supply arrangements with our customers, resulting in penalties.

Inadequate transportation and offtake arrangements may also result in increased inventories. Increased inventories could result in the need for additional land for stocking of coal beyond that contemplated in the applicable mining plan and relevant permits for a particular project which may result in penalties or the revocation of such permits, or result in decreased, non-optimal production from these mines due to lack of adequate coal stocking land and increased production costs. Increased inventories could also result in an increase in loss of stock through fires or pilferage of coal. While we have not faced a shortage of adequate transport facilities in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that we will have access to adequate transportation infrastructure and capacities in the future.

The non-availability of adequate transportation infrastructure may adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies. If we are unable to secure adequate rail or road transportation capacities or secure economically viable alternative modes of transportation for the offtake of coal produced by us or any coal imported by us, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

43. We are wholly-owned by Coal India Limited and controlled by the Government of India, which makes us susceptible to changes to the policies of Government of India and allows it to exercise significant influence over us. Further, the Government of India could require us to take actions aimed at serving the public interest, which may not necessarily be profitable or financially feasible We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coal India Limited. Upon the completion of this Offer, the GoI will hold approximately 4191,300,000 Equity Shares, or approximately 90.00% of our post-Offer paid up equity share capital through Coal India Limited. Consequently, the GoI, acting through Coal India Limited, will continue to control us and will have the power to elect and remove our directors and determine the outcome of most proposals for corporate action requiring approval of our Board or shareholders, such as proposed five-year plans, revenue budgets, capital expenditure, dividend policy, transactions with other GoI controlled companies. Under the Companies Act, we will continue to be a public sector undertaking which is owned and controlled by the Government of India. This may affect the decision-making process in certain business and strategic decisions taken by the Company going forward.

As a result of our controlling ownership by the Government of India, we are required to adhere to certain restrictions and may not be able to diversify our services and solutions without the prior approval of the Government of India. There can be no assurance that the Government of India will grant us such approvals in the future. The Government of India will retain control over the decisions requiring adoption by our shareholders acting by a simple majority through Coal India Limited. This concentration of ownership may also delay, defer or even prevent a change in our control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of the Government of India. The interests of the Government of India with respect to such matters and the factors that it will take into account when exercising its voting rights may not be consistent with and may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders, including investors that purchase the Equity Shares in this Offer.

6144. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Corporate Promoter (also the Promoter Selling Shareholder) may be less than the Offer Price.

The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Corporate Promoter (also the Promoter Selling Shareholders) may be less than the Offer Price. The details of the average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares

held by our Promoter Selling Shareholder is provided below:

Name of Corporate Promoter Number of Equity Shares of face Average Cost of Acquisition per (Promoter Selling Shareholder) value ₹10 each Equity Shares (in ₹) Coal India Limited 4,657,000,000 10.00

45. We do not own our corporate trademark, name or logo, and our logo and name have not been registered as trademarks. Accordingly, our ability to use our name or logo may be impaired. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. As part of our operations, we might infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others and any misappropriation of our intellectual property could harm our competitive position.

Our trademark and logo are not registered. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has made an application for trademarking our logo under class 37 and class 4 with the Trademarks Registry and the status of both is “Formalities Check Pass”. Pending our application for registration, our trademark shall have limited legal protection. There is no assurance that we will continue to be able to use the trademark, name or logo in connection with our business, which in turn may result in us being unable to capitalize on the brand recognition associated with the “Bharat Coking Coal” or “BCCL” trademark. For further details on our intellectual property rights, see section titled “Our Business – Intellectual Property” and “Government and Other Approvals” on pages 250 and 478, respectively.

Any damage to this trademark, name or logo, if not immediately and sufficiently remedied, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

46. The Jharia and Raniganj coalfields are susceptible to coal fires and land subsidence and pose a serious environmental, health and safety risk. Extinguishing mine fires can be dangerous and may not always be economically feasible, and such mine fires are unlikely to be suppressed by rainfall. Further, if we are unable to implement the rehabilitation plans within the stipulated time frame or within the approved amounts, we may incur additional costs. While the tenure of the said Jharia Master Plan has expired, a revised master plan has been prepared and approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. Any diversion of our resources for the implementation of the Jharia Master Plans may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

The mining area in the Jharia and Raniganj coalfields in Jharkhand and West Bengal, respectively, are susceptible to fire and land subsidence due to non-scientific mining carried out by the mine owners prior to nationalization of the coal industry in India, and pose a serious environmental, health and safety risk. Coal mine fires are inherently dangerous and can lead to loss of lives, property, natural disasters, subsidence of surface infrastructure and severe environmental pollution. The GoI approved the Master Plan Dealing with Fire, Subsidence and Rehabilitation in the Jharia coalfield which expired on August 11, 2021, pursuant to which a revised Master Plan Dealing with Fire, Subsidence & Rehabilitation of affected families of Jharia coalfield was approved Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on June 25, 2025 (“Jharia Master Plan”).

Coal fires pose a serious problem due to the hazards to the environment which include toxic fumes, reigniting grass, bush, or forest fires, health and safety issues and the subsidence of surface infrastructure such as roads, pipelines, electric lines, buildings and homes. Extinguishing these mine fires can be dangerous and costly and may not always be economically feasible, and such mine fires are unlikely to be suppressed by rainfall. Their environmental effects of coal fires include pollution of the atmosphere with toxins, and mine fires often leave a landscape devoid of vegetation and make it uninhabitable. In addition, the effects of mine fires on ambient air quality are severe once the fires become surface fires. The interaction of the gases with percolating water causes the change in the characteristic of the water quality of the area. Over the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the past three Fiscals, we have encountered fires in certain areas of our mines. These fires were present even before our Company was incorporated and continue to burn, consuming our coal reserves. In some mines, we have had to excavate burning coal as part of our routine operations. Further, a gas emission incident was reported in our coalfield on December 3, 2025, and carbon monoxide concentrations were found to exceed permissible limits, attributed to residual gases escaping from sealed historical workings through surface fractures.

62The area is classified as unstable under the Jharia Master Plan, and residents had previously been advised to relocate to designated rehabilitation sites.

We do not maintain any insurance for environmental matters and if we are unable to extinguish such mine fires, or if any of the mine fires should escalate in an environmental catastrophe, or instances of serious land subsidence result in harm to persons or property, it may have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Losses and liabilities arising from events such as those mentioned above may significantly reduce our earnings or increase our costs (for example, by incurring extra costs on site restoration, disaster recovery and workers' compensation or rehabilitation) and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, such mine fires have been, and may continue to be, the subject of media attention, which may harm our reputation or attract action from various international or Indian non-governmental organizations.

In addition, we are required to implement a rehabilitation plan approved by the GoI for dealing with fire, subsidence and rehabilitation and diversion of surface infrastructure in the Jharia and Raniganj coalfields. Our scope of work in dealing with the fires at the Jharia Master Plan involves the identification of fire areas, selection of technologies to deal with fires, prioritization for implementation and assessment of fund requirement. Further, the rehabilitation and resettlement scheme of affected people also includes the identification of affected sites, identification of resettlement sites and assessment of fund requirements. The Jharia Master Plan also requires our Company to develop microenterprises and provide means of livelihood to the rehabilitated families of the Jharia coalfields. Under the Jharia Master Plan, fire and unstable sites are grouped into “Mining Projects”, which are considered suitable for mining by CIL, and Non-Mining Projects, which are not considered suitable for mining.

Sites falling under Mining Projects will be rehabilitated using the CIL’s relevant policy under the responsibility of BCCL and for non-Mining Projects, the Jharia Master Plan will be implemented by the Jharia Rehabilitation & Development Authority (“JRDA”). As on September 30, 2025, we have completed the construction of 14,573 number of housing units out of 15,713 housing units and 4,479 employees have been relocated to these completed housing units. We may not be able to effectively implement the rehabilitation plan due to significant opposition from affected/displaced persons and/or other social or political groups. If we are unable to contain the fires and rehabilitate and relocate the affected persons within the stipulated time frame, or at all, we may not be able to access our reserves in the Jharia coalfields, which will affect our production If we are unable to implement the Jharia Master Plan within the stipulated time frame or within the approved amounts, we may incur additional costs, and diversion of our resources for the implementation of the Jharia Master Plan may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

47. Non-compliance with and adverse changes in applicable health, safety, labour and environmental laws may adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to safety, health, labour and environmental protection laws and regulations, all of which we are required to comply with in the course of our operations. Environmental regulations impose controls on air and water release or discharge, noise levels, storage handling and the treatment, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous materials. In case of any change in environmental regulations, we may be required to invest in, among other things, environmental monitoring, pollution control equipment, and other expenditure to comply with environmental standards. Any failure on our part to comply with any existing or future regulations may result in legal proceedings, including public interest litigation being commenced against us, third party claims or the levy of regulatory fines. Further, any violation of the environmental laws and regulations may result in fines, criminal sanctions, revocation of operating permits, or shutdown of our facilities.

We are also subject to the laws and regulations governing employees in such areas as minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination of employees, and work permits.

There is a risk that we may fail to comply with such regulations, which could lead to enforced shutdowns and other sanctions imposed by the relevant authorities, as well as the withholding or delay in receipt of regulatory approvals, We cannot assure you that we will not be involved in future litigation or other proceedings or be held liable in any litigation or proceedings including in relation to safety, health and environmental matters, the costs of which may be significant. For further details on the laws and regulations applicable to us, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 253.

48. Our Company may not be in compliance with certain provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations and the Companies Act, as may be applicable in relation to the composition of our Board of Directors and Audit Committee and terms of reference of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee as we are controlled by the GoI.

63As of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, the composition of our Board of Directors is not in compliance with the requirements of the SEBI Listing Regulations, Companies Act and the DPE Guidelines. Presently, our Board of Directors comprises seven Directors which includes four Executive Directors and two Non- Executive directors and one Independent Director on our Board.

As the Chairman of our Board is an executive director, we are required to have at least seven independent directors in order to be compliant with Regulation 17(1) of Chapter IV of the SEBI Listing Regulations, however as on the date of this Red Herring prospectus our board comprises only one Independent Director. Being a Government company, our Directors are appointed by the President of India, acting through the Ministry of Coal, Government of India. Further, the terms of appointment of all Directors (including their remuneration) are approved by the President of India, acting through the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, as also mentioned in our AoA.

Accordingly, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee does not have the power to directly approve these matters and such matters can only be noted, or taken on record. Further, under Section 139(5) of the Companies Act, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (“CAG”) shall appoint a duly qualified auditor as the statutory auditor of a government company. Since the Company is a central public sector undertaking and a government company, its statutory auditor is appointed by the CAG. Further, the Company would continue to be a government company even after completion of the Offer. Accordingly, the Audit Committee does not have the power to directly appoint the statutory auditor of the Company and such appointment can only be noted or taken on record by the Audit Committee. In relation to the above non-compliances, our Company has filed an exemption letter with SEBI dated May 30, 2025, under Regulation 300(1) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations seeking certain exemptions from the relevant provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. SEBI vide its letter bearing reference number SEBI/CFD/RACDIL2/2025/24344/1 dated September 12, 2025 has granted our Company an exemption from compliances of the aforesaid corporate governance requirements as prescribed under the SEBI Listing Regulations until the listing of the Equity Shares of the Company. Exemption under Regulation 33(1)(a), read with Regulation 2(o) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, to include the permanent employees of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Coal India Limited within the definition of ‘employee’ solely for the purpose of providing an employee reservation in the proposed offer, has been granted. For further details, see “Summary of the Offer Document – Exemption from complying with any provisions of securities laws, if any, granted by SEBI” on page 32.

Accordingly, we may be subject to penalties for non-compliance with any of the aforementioned provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations, Companies Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business operations, financial conditions and results of our operations. To this extent, we are not compliant with the SEBI Listing Regulations.

49. Our Company may not be in compliance with certain provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations, SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Companies Act, as may be applicable in relation to the composition of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and constitution of a committee of independent directors as we are controlled by the GoI.

Our Company through its letter dated December 3, 2025, had sought an exemption from SEBI under Regulation 300(1) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and Regulation 102 of the SEBI Listing Regulations from:

(i) the corporate governance in relation composition of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee as specified under Regulation 19(1)(c) of the SEBI Listing Regulations; (ii) constitution of the committee of Independent Directors as required under Clause (9)(K)(4)(f) of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, since the Company is exempted from complying with Regulation 17(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, and has only one Independent Director on the Board, and (iii) the corporate governance requirements in relation to the composition of the Stakeholders Relationship Committee and Risk Management Committee as required under Regulations 20(2A) and 21(2) of the SEBI LODR Regulations respectively.

Further, the Price Band advertisement for the Offer, including that the Price Band is justified based on the quantitative factors/KPIs disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus, would not be recommended by a committee of independent directors of our Company as required under Clause (9)(K)(4)(f) of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and will be recommended by the IPO Committeee. For details, see “Our Management – Corporate Governance” on page 275.

6450. Our inability to effectively manage our growth or implement our growth strategies may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We have experienced growth in our financial performance in Fiscal 2025 as compared to Fiscal 2023. The table below sets forth details of our total income for the periods/years indicated:

Particulars Six months Six months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 period ended period ended September 30, September 30, 2025 2024 Total income (in ₹ million) 63,115.10 70,907.00 144,016.30 146,525.30 130,185.70 Our growth strategies are to utilize our resources effectively to sustain and expand operations, driving growth and maximizing efficiency, transform discontinued mines into profitable ventures through resource monetization, and strategic repurposing, monetize, modernize, and renovate our washeries, implement energy conservation methods to enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact, leverage our resources in the Jharia coalfields to drive growth and explore opportunities in coal bed methane projects to harness untapped energy resources. For further information, see “Our Business – Strategies” on page 225. We cannot assure you that our future growth strategy will be successful or that we will be able to continue to expand further, or at the same rate. Our ability to manage our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management systems on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our personnel. We cannot assure you that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future growth.

Failure to effectively manage our expansion may lead to increased costs and reduced profitability and may adversely affect our growth prospects. Our inability to manage our business and implement our growth strategy could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

51. If we are unable to recruit and retain senior management, qualified and skilled personnel, our business and our ability to operate or grow our business may be adversely affected.

Our Board of Directors, Senior Management and Key Managerial Personnel have substantial experience and have contributed to the growth of our business and operations. For further details, see “Our Management” on page 267.

Our future performance would depend on the continued service of our Senior Management, Key Managerial Personnel, qualified and skilled personnel with technical expertise, and the loss of any senior employee and the inability to find an adequate replacement may adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. While there has been no instance in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals where the resignation of any Senior Management or Key Managerial Personnel had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial conditions, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in the future. Our future success, among other factors, will depend upon our ability to continue to attract, train and retain qualified personnel with critical expertise, know-how and skills. We may therefore need to increase compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain personnel in the future, which may adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.

The market for such qualified professionals with industry experience is competitive and we may not continue to be successful in our efforts to attract and retain qualified people. The specialised skills we require in our industry are difficult and time-consuming to acquire and, as a result, are in short supply. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation and benefits more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting skilled personnel. The following table sets forth the attrition rate in the periods/years indicated:

As of / For the Six As of / For the Six As of / For the As of / For the As of / For the Months Period Months Period Particulars Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Ended September Ended September March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 30, 2025 30, 2024 Number of 31,389 33,045 32,118 33,920 37,037 Employees Number of 18 18 36 69 21 Employees Exited Attrition Rate of 0.06% 0.05% 0.11% 0.20% 0.06% Employees (%)* *Attrition rate is calculated as the total number of resignations during the period divided by average head count during the period, multiplied by 100. Average head count during the period is the sum of the opening head count and the closing head count during the period, divided by two.

65Our inability to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel could impair the success of our operations. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.

52. Our Corporate Promoter will continue to have a significant shareholding in our Company after the Offer and its interests may differ from those of the other shareholders.

As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Corporate Promoter, Coal India Limited, holds 100% of the paid-up equity share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis. For further information on their shareholding pre-Offer and post-Offer, see “Capital Structure” on page 106. After the completion of the Offer, our Corporate Promoter will continue to hold majority of the shareholding in our Company during the lock-in period under the SEBI ICDR Regulations and will continue to exercise significant influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring Shareholders’ approval. The interests of the Corporate Promoter as the controlling shareholder could conflict with our interests or the interests of our other shareholders. We cannot assure you that our Corporate Promoter will act to resolve any conflicts of interest in our favour, and any such conflict may adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business. For further information in relation to the interests of our Corporate Promoter, see “Our Promoters and Promoter Group” on page 293.

53. Our coal mining operations have been adversely affected by illegal mining and pilferage of coal from our mines.

Our coal mining operations are subject to the risk of illegal mining and pilferage of coal. This can negatively impact our production levels, revenue, and overall financial performance. There have been instances of illegal mining activity within our command area in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, and our Company has taken appropriate steps including filing a criminal writ petition before the High Court of Jharkhand seeking appropriate directions. For further details, please see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments – Pending criminal proceedings initiated by our Company” on page 465. The occurrence of illegal mining and pilferage can also lead to increased operational costs, including expenses related to security measures, legal actions, and the implementation of additional monitoring and surveillance systems. Furthermore, illegal mining activities can pose safety risks to our employees and disrupt our normal mining operations, potentially leading to production delays and inefficiencies. There can be no assurance that illegal mining activities or pilferage of coal from our mines or stockpiles will not increase in the future. Any significant increase in such activities within any of our mines or coalfields could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

54. Our Company accounts are subject to a supplementary audit by the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, and any qualifications in their report on our financial statements could adversely affect the trading price our Equity Shares.

Our accounts are subject to a supplementary audit by the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (“CAG”) as required under the Companies Act. The CAG has issued the following observations for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023:

Fiscal 2025 Striping activity adjustment – Stripping Activity Adjustment Assets are created due to the excess removal of overburden (OB) beyond the standard stripping ratio, which results in access to coal for future period. The expenditure related to excess removal of OB is quantified as Stripping Activity Adjustment Assets.

Paragraph 8 of Appendix B of the Ind-AS-16 states that, “to the extent that the benefit from the stripping activity is realised in the form of inventory produced, the entity shall account for the cost of that stripping overburden removal activity in accordance with the principal of Ind-AS- 2, Inventories. To the extent the benefit is improved access to ore, the entity shall recognize these costs as a non- current asset, say, stripping activity assets".

As per Matching principle expenses are to be recognized in the accounting period to which revenue relate. Thus, the expenditure related to excess removal of OB should not be part of Inventory Valuation for the current period.

66During the year, BCCL considered the expenditure incurred on excess removal of OB for the two mines, as the part of inventory valuation, which is in deviation from provisions of IND AS.

This resulted in Overstatement of stock valuation as well as profit for the year by ₹ 335.60 Millions.

Striping activity adjustment – Stripping Activity asset is measured at cost, this being the accumulation of costs directly incurred to perform the stripping activity that improves access to the identified component of ore.

During the year, while computing Stripping Activity Adjustment of thee mines, BCCL considered cost incurred which are not directly related to the Stripping Activity and amortization cost of stripping asset of other mines.

Incorrect consideration of cost resulted in overstatement of Stripping Activity Adjustment as well as profit for the year by ₹ 215.60 Millions.

Fiscal 2024 Input Tax Credit Receivable: ₹ 15,316.20 million As per the Ind AS 01 on Presentation of Financial Statements, an entity has to provide information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements but is relevant to an understanding of any of them. It further states that an entity has to disclose information about the assumptions which it makes about the future, and other major sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Bharat Coking Coal limited (BCCL) has accumulated Input Tax Credit (ITC) receivable amounting to ₹15,316.20 million as on 31st March 2024. The ITC receivable is accumulated and increasing every year, mainly due to the Inverted Tax Structure, since GST liability on sale of coal is 5 per cent while inputs are taxed at different rates ranging between 5 per cent to 28 per cent. Further, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, vide Notification No.09/2022- Central Tax (Rate) dated 13 July 2022 discontinued refund on ITC, and presently, ITC on GST paid on input materials / services is only available for utilization against GST on output. In view of the fact that the amount of ITC receivable had been steadily increasing over the years and the utilization thereof each year had been falling short of the input tax credited for the year added with the balance of ITC carried forward from earlier years, the probability of consequential adjustments in future years is unascertainable. However, neither BCCL in the Notes to the Financial Statements, nor Statutory Auditors in their Report, had disclosed the above-mentioned facts in detail and their explanations to carry forward the Input Tax Credit, in contravention of Ind AS 01.

Non-disclosure of facts which are integral to the understanding of the users of financial statements in taking informed decisions resulted in deficiency in disclosure requirements.

Material Accounting Policies (Note 2) Stripping Activity (Note 2.19) Material Accounting Policy on Stripping Activity of BCCL, inter alia, mentions that when the actual volume of overburden removed is greater than the expected volume of overburden removal, the stripping cost for excess overburden removed over the expected overburden removal is capitalized to the stripping activity asset. The stripping activity asset is amortized over the life of the mine.

Pursuant to change in Accounting Policy concerning Stripping Activity by Coal India Limited

(CIL), systematically reversing the balance of Ratio Variance Reserve without further addition (Policy 2.23), and creation of only Stripping Activity Assets (Policy 2.19), all Subsidiaries were instructed through Uniform Process Notes to follow the same. By virtue of this change in accounting policy, Stripping Activity Asset is being consistently featured under Property, Plant, and Equipment (Note 3.1) w.e.f. 01.04.2022 onwards with retrospective effect of change, instead of the existing policy of adjusting the figure of such asset with ratio variance as and 67when the situation arose that was followed till 2022-23. The sentence 'The stripping activity asset is amortized over the life of the mine’ is also inserted by virtue of the above change in accounting policy. Generally, amortization is given effect to on three account heads, viz., Leasehold Land, Intangibles, and Stripping Activity Asset. Unlike Leasehold Land and Intangibles where the amortization for the related asset is charged in the same year, BCCL chose to amortize Stripping Activity Asset in the following year on the plea that the benefits to be accrued from advance stripping would only be realized from the succeeding year onwards.

However, this deviation adopted by the Company from the usual application of amortization was not disclosed in the Material Accounting Policy. Further, the said policy is also silent on the fact whether the Stripping Activity Asset would be amortized over the 'entire' life of the mine or the 'balance' life of the mine. Paragraph 29 of Ind AS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors states that when a voluntary change in accounting policy has an effect on the current period or any prior period, an entity shall disclose (a) the nature of the change in accounting policy; (b) the reasons why applying the new accounting policy provides reliable and more relevant information. Further, Paragraph 121 of Ind AS 1:

Presentation of Financial Statements states that an accounting policy may be significant because of the nature of the entity's operations. Stripping activity being an integral part of the operations of a coal mine, disclosure about the basis and method of amortization on Stripping Activity Asset along with reasons thereto was necessary to cater to the requirements of the users of financial statements in taking informed decisions which, incidentally, was absent from such Policy.

Thus, disclosure on Material Accounting Policy No.2.19 on Stripping Activity is deficient to that extent.

Site Restoration / Mine Closure (Note-9.1.3): ₹57,96.10 million Paragraph 112(c) of IND AS-01 on Presentation of Financial Statements states that an entity has to provide information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements but is relevant to an understanding of any of them. Paragraph 15 further states that additional disclosure, when necessary, is presumed to result in financial statements that present a true and fair view. Ministry of Coal (MoC) issued guidelines in May 2020 enhancing Mine Closure Rate

(MCR) from ₹ 0.60 million per hectare to ₹ 0.90 million per hectare in case of open cast and from 0.10 million per hectare to 0.15 million per hectare in case of underground mine with effect from 01 April 2019. Thereafter, Coal Controller Organization directed (September 2022) all subsidiaries of Coal India Limited (CIL) to revise the mine-wise annual closure cost schedule with respect to the guidelines issued in May 2020 by MoC and execute the amended Escrow Agreement at the earliest. Accordingly, based on the new guidelines, BCCL revised 18 Escrow Agreements out of total 49 Escrow Agreements as on 31st March 2024. However, remaining 31 nos. of Escrow Agreements could not be revised / updated as on 31 March 2024.

The above facts needed to be suitably disclosed in the financial statements.

Non-disclosure of facts which are integral to the understanding of users of Financial Statements in taking informed decisions resulted in deficiency in disclosure requirements.

Fiscal 2023 Statement of Profit and Loss Account Stripping activity adjustment ₹ 7,013.00 million The above includes ₹ 734.40 million towards Stripping Activity Adjustment of Bastacolla Project of BCCL. While arriving at Cost Per Cum Of Over Burden Removal, for Computing Stripping Activity Adjustment, BCCL has not considered cost of explosive and undercharged cost of overhead. considering, correct cost per cum of over burden removal based on cost of explosive and actual overheads, stripping activity adjustment amounting to ₹ 934.70 million should have been charged in the statement of profit & loss.

This has resulted in Understatement of Stripping Activity Adjustment and over statement of Profit to the tune of ₹200.30 million

Current Asset: Other current Assets (Note 11)

Input Tax Credit Receivable: ₹13,232.90 million As per the Ind AS-01, an entity has to provide information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements but is relevant to an understanding of any of them. It further states that an entity has to disclose information about the assumptions which it makes about the future, and other major sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have 68a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Ministry of Finance, Government of India, vide Notification No. 5/20 17-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28 June 2017, notified the description of goods, in respect of which no refund of unutilized input tax credit shall be allowed, where the credit has accumulated on account of rate of tax on inputs being higher than the rate of tax on the output supplies of such goods.

‘Coal’ was not figuring in the above list.

Unutilized input tax credit can be allowed as refund in accordance with the provisions of section 54(3) of the CGST Act 2017 where credit has accumulated on account of rate of tax on inputs being higher than the rate of taxes on output supplies except where goods or services has been notified by the Government on the recommendations of the Council. Further, for utilization of the Input Tax Credit, no timeline is prescribed.

Ministry of Finance, Government of India, vide Notification No. 09/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 13 July 2022 made the amendments in the above notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax

(Rate) and inserted Coal, on which no refund of unutilized input tax credit was to be allowed.

BCCL has shown Recoverable for Input Tax Credit amounting to ₹ 13,232.90 million of which ₹10,983.10 million pertain to the period prior to the notification of July 2022 and the balance ₹2,249.80 million pertains to the period after the notification of July 2022, on which BCCL is not eligible for claiming refund.

Rate of GST on output i.e. sale of coal is 5 per cent while inputs are taxed at 18 per cent, thereby resulting in accumulation of receivable for Input Tax Credit. BCCL has applied for the refund amounting to ₹ 1,339.30 million for the year 2017- 18. However, the same has been rejected by the Tax Authorities citing non availability of supporting invoices/ documents and it was also advised to submit fresh claim with proper documents. No further claim for refund was filed by BCCL. Though, no timeline has been prescribed under the GST Act for utilisation of Input Tax Credit, it is worth noting that due to significant difference in Rate of input and output tax, BCCL is unable to adjust the tax credit for previous years and tax credit is increasing with time.

Further, matter of refund/ accumulation of Input Tax Credit has not been taken up by BCCL with Higher Authorities.

Neither BCCL nor Statutory Auditors in his Report, has disclosed the above-mentioned facts and their explanations to carry forward the Input Tax Credit and above stated facts in the Financial Statements/ Report of Auditors, which is in violation of Ind AS- 01.

Non-disclosure of facts which are integral to the understanding of the users of financial Statements in taking informed decisions resulted in deficiency in disclosure requirements.

Additional Notes to Accounts (Note 38) Ref. to Note no. (4) (f) (i) & (ii) As per the Ind AS-01, an entity had to provide information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements but is relevant to an understanding of any of them, it further stipulates that additional disclosure, when necessary, is presumed to result in financial statements that present a true and fair view.

The Contract for development and extraction of coal from Kapuria Block was cancelled by BCCL (January 2021) and the issue was placed before Hon’b1e Delhi High Court. The Hon’ble high Court ordered (January 2021) for encashment of four bank guarantees (BG) amounting ₹539.80 million and transfer the encashed amount in the account of the Registrar General of the Court. BCCL has made the following deficient disclosures in notes to Financial Statements:

Though only two bank guarantees amounting to ₹347.90 million have been encashed, BCCL wrongly disclosed that three bank guarantees amounting to ₹412.00 million have been encashed.

69Advance of ₹377.60 million against the BGs is wrongly disclosed as ₹382.30 million.

Though, the legal case is presently under trial at Hon’ble Delhi High Court, it was wrongly mentioned that the case is under trail at International Criminal Court.

It was disclosed that cost of Detailed Project Report ₹65.00 million of the above contractual work would be adjusted with Performance BG after Court Decision. However, facts remain that, there is no Performance BG available with BCCL.

Apart from above, Securities received from suppliers/contractors/customers as Bank Guarantees amounting to ₹7,164.70 million were wrongly disclosed as ₹4,899.00 million under the Notes.

Thus, the above additional disclosures under Note 38 are deficient to the above extent.

There is no assurance that the CAG audit for any future fiscal periods will not contain such comments or any other qualifications for such future fiscal periods. Investors should consider these remarks in evaluating our results of operations and financial condition. Any such qualifications in the CAG’s report on our financial statements in the future could adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

55. Our Statutory Auditors have included certain emphasis of matters and other matters in their audit report for the audited financial statements for Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023.

While our Statutory Auditors have not included any emphasis of matter and other matter in their audit report for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our Statutory Auditors have included the following emphasis of matter and other matters in their audit report for the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025:

“Emphasis of Matter – We draw attention to the following notes/matters to the Financial Statements:

(a) Balances under trade receivables, trade payables, loans & advances and other current assets/liabilities as on the Balance Sheet date, have not been confirmed as yet and reconciliation with respective ledger balances are pending, the consequential impact thereof, if any in the financial statements, are not ascertainable (Refer Note No. 4.3, 8.3, 4.2).

(b) The accumulated amount of input tax credit of ₹17,507.80 million, represents the GST paid on input materials/services that can be utilized against the GST on output. GST liability on coal sales is 5% whereas the inputs are being taxed at 18% and GST Input tax credit getting accumulated at 13%. This accumulation has occurred due to inverted tax structure. Utilization of accumulated ITC which has been availed in compliance with various GST provisions can be utilized in the future without any time limit. The amount is not refundable in terms of notifications issued in this respect and is therefore available only for utilization against output tax in future.

Consequential impact and adjustments thereof and pending determination of amount as such cannot be commented upon by us (Refer Note No. 6.2).

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.” Other Matters - “1. We did not audit the standalone financial statements/information of 15 areas/ units included in the financial statements of the Company whose financial statements / financial information reflect total assets of ₹ 123,314.10 million as at 31st March 2025 and total income of ₹178,283.60 million for the year ended on that date, as considered in the financial statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter” We cannot assure you that any similar emphasis of matters, will not form part of our financial statements for the future fiscal periods, which could subject us to additional liabilities due to which our reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.

56. Any delay in payment of statutory dues by us in future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

We are required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions, employee state insurance contributions (“ESIC”), professional taxes, labour welfare fund, goods and services tax (“GST”), tax deducted at source (“TDS”), tax collected at source (“TCS”) and income tax. While there have not been any delays in payment of our statutory dues in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the past three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to such penalties and fines in the future for delays in payment of statutory dues, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

57. Any negative publicity relating to ‘Coal India Limited’ brand could adversely affect our business prospects and financial performance.

71Our Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of our Corporate Promoter, Coal India Limited (“CIL”). Our revenue, results of operation, business and prospects are, to a certain extent, dependent on the strength of Coal India Limited’s brand. Coal India Limited’s reputation may be damaged by adverse publicity, negative campaigns or movements targeting their brands, customer’s dissatisfaction over their products/services, allegations of misconduct of negligence, accident at their facilities, or other events. Negative publicity or reputational damage can alter client perception, potentially leading to a loss of trust and a decline in sales. Additionally, reputational issues could influence the attitude of market regulators, possibly resulting in stricter scrutiny and regulatory challenges. Any adverse publicity, even if unfounded could in the future have an adverse effect on our financial position and reputation. Further, any decrease or adverse movement in credit ratings of Coal India Limited may also affect our business and financial position and reputation. A tarnished brand reputation can affect our ability to secure new contracts and partnerships, thereby impacting our overall business operations. If Coal India Limited is unable to maintain their brand name and their reputation, or there is reputational harm to other Coal India Limited subsidiaries, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected. The combined effect of lost business opportunities, increased regulatory scrutiny, and diminished customer trust could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

58. We are susceptible to inherent risks associated with coal bed methane (“CBM”) projects, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

As part of our strategic initiatives, we are exploring opportunities to diversify into the development and production of CBM. For further details, see “Our Business – Strategies - Explore opportunities in coal bed methane projects to harness untapped energy resources” on page 229. While these ventures present potential growth opportunities, they also introduce several inherent risks that could impact our operations and financial performance. The extraction and production of CBM involves complex technical processes and require specialized expertise and infrastructure. We may face challenges in effectively managing these operations, particularly in the initial stages of development. Technical difficulties, such as geological uncertainties, drilling risks, and production inefficiencies, could lead to delays, increased costs, and lower-than-expected production levels. Failure to meet regulatory requirements could result in fines, operational restrictions, or even suspension of operations.

Additionally, environmental concerns, such as potential impacts on groundwater and ecosystems, may attract public scrutiny and opposition, further complicating our efforts. The market for CBM is influenced by various factors, including fluctuations in natural gas prices, competition from other energy sources, and changes in demand patterns. These market dynamics could affect the profitability and viability of our CBM projects. We may face challenges in balancing our existing coal mining operations with the demands of our CBM initiatives. Any misalignment in our strategic approach or execution could lead to suboptimal outcomes and negatively impact our overall business performance, adversely impacting our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

59. We have entered into related party transactions in the past and may continue to do so in the future. Such future related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest.

We have entered into transactions with related parties in the past and from, time to time, we may enter into related party transactions in the future. All such transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis, in accordance with the Companies Act and other applicable regulations pertaining to the evaluation and approval of such transactions and all related party transactions that we may enter into post-listing, will be subject to Board or Shareholder approval, as necessary under the Companies Act, the SEBI Listing Regulations and other application laws. It is likely that we may enter into additional related party transactions in the future. Such future related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest. The table below sets forth details of the arithmetic aggregated absolute total of our related party transactions and the percentage of such related party transactions to our revenue from operations in the periods/years indicated:

Six months Six months period ended period ended Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 September September 30, 2025 30, 2024 Total related party transactions (in ₹ million) 9,005.20 1,148.90 2,010.50 1,481.50 1,682.70 Revenue from operations (in ₹ million) 56,590.20 68,461.90 138,025.50 142,458.60 126,240.60 Total of our related party transactions as a

60. We will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale.

The Offer consists of an Offer for Sale by the Promoter Selling Shareholder. The Promoter Selling Shareholder, shall be entitled to the net proceeds from the Offer for Sale, which comprise proceeds from the Offer for Sale net of Offer expenses for the share of the Offer for Sale, and our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. For further information, see “The Offer” and “Objects of the Offer” on pages 85 and 120, respectively.

61. Our financing arrangement consist of certain restrictive covenant. Such restrictive covenants may restrict our ability to raise funds.

Our financing arrangement with our lenders include certain restrictive covenants including covenants like restriction on change in general nature of business, change in ownership, control and management, amendment to constitutional documents, etc. In case, our Company makes any default in such provision it may impact our ability to raise funds. While we have not faced any such situation in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in future.

62. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures and the terms of our financing arrangements.

Pursuant to office memorandum dated November 18, 2024, from the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (“DIPAM”) regarding dividend declaration and capital restructuring of Central Public Sector Enterprises (“CPSEs”), each profitable CPSE must pay a minimum annual dividend of 30% of profit after tax

(PAT) or 4% of net worth, whichever is higher, subject to legal provisions, unless exempted. Further, as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has arrears of Dividend due to Coal India Limited on erstwhile 5% Non-Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares. The arrears of ₹444.33 million (out of the total arrears of ₹ 8,886.50 million) due to Coal India Limited was recommended by our Board and paid by our Company on August 05, 2024 pursuant to the approval of our Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on August 01, 2024. The TDS of ₹ 10.00 million was deducted thereon and the net amount was remitted to Coal India Limited through RTGS. The remaining arrears of dividend amounting to ₹ 8,442.17 million, was recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company in its 421st meeting held on April 23, 2025, and approved by the shareholders of the Company in the Annual General Meeting for Fiscal 2025held on July 25, 2025. The amount of ₹ 8,442.17 million after deduction of TDS of ₹ 224.22 million was paid on July 28, 2025.

Our Company’s ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future results of operations, financial condition, profit after tax available for distribution, cash flows, sufficient profitability, working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenues to cover our operating expenses and, as such, pay dividends to our Company’s shareholders in future consistent with our past practices, or at all. For information pertaining to dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page

298.

63. Certain sections of this Red Herring Prospectus disclose information from the CRISIL Report which is a paid report and commissioned and paid for exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.

We have availed the services of an independent consulting company, CRISIL Limited (“CRISIL”), appointed pursuant to an engagement letter dated January 19, 2025 to prepare an industry report titled “Report on Indian Coking Coal Industry” dated November, 2025, (“CRISIL Report”) for purposes of inclusion of such information in this Red Herring Prospectus to understand the industry in which we operate. The CRISIL Report has been commissioned exclusively in connection with the Offer for a fee. The CRISIL Report is available on the website of our Company at www.bcclweb.in. Our Company, our Promoters, our Directors, and our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel are not related to CRISIL. This CRISIL Report is subject to various limitations and based upon certain assumptions that are subjective in nature. Further the commissioned report is not a recommendation to invest or divest in our Company. Prospective investors are advised not to unduly rely on the commissioned report or extracts thereof as included in this Red Herring Prospectus, when making their investment decisions.

7364. Internal or external fraud or misconduct by our employees could adversely affect our reputation and our results of operations.

We may be subject to instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and employees which may go unnoticed for certain periods of time before corrective action is taken. Fraudulent and unauthorised conduct by our employees could also bind us to transactions that exceed the scope of authorisation and present significant risks to us. As a result, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions, brand and reputational damage or financial harm. It is not always possible to deter fraud or misconduct by employees and the precautions we take and the systems we have put in place to prevent and deter such activities may not be effective in all cases. Further, we employ third parties for certain operations and accordingly, we are exposed to the risk of theft and embezzlement. In addition, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with such acts by our employees, which could adversely affect our goodwill. We have, in the past, faced certain instances of fraud which involved (i) alleged demand of ₹25,000/- as illegal gratification by Dhiraj Nishad, Clerk, Bastacolla Colliery from Shri Arbind Kumar Singh, S/O Shri Sheo Kumar Singh; (ii) alleged demand & acceptance of illegal gratification of ₹20,000/- from Shri Jagdish Saw Dumper operator under Lodna Area for issuing No-Dues Certificate; (iii) alleged irregularities in the remittance of PF and Pension contribution at Central Hospital Dhanbad; (iv) irregular deployment of holiday to the drivers of water tankers and persons of auto department at Kustore colliery in PB Area even if water tanker remains broken down; (v) alleged acquisition of asset disproportionate to known sources of income by Shri Ratnakar Mallik, Area Personnel Manage. Block-II Area of BCCL; (vi) Alleged corrupt practices by the officials of Katras Area; (vii) alleged irregularities in issuance of NOC to retired employee without handing over his allotted Company’s quarter; (viii) alleged irregularities in committed by Dr. S.S. Kumar while posted as Area Medical Officer, Govindpur Area (ix) Irregularities in arbitrary cancellation of BC and FC in a tender of Lodna Area even after recommendation of tender committee member to award the work in favour of L-1 tenderer; (x) Irregularities in handover and takeover of BCCL’s quarter at EJ Area; (xi) Irregularities in work of Coal Transportation from various coal dump of Kuya OCP to CK Siding through feeder breaker during the period January 2021 to May 2021 by the three private coal transporters; (xii) Alleged violation of terms and conditions of the contract and non -deposition of correct amount of EPF; and (xiii) the CBI has filed FIRs against certain employees in the past for alleged wrongdoings. Further, certain of the tenders issued by our Company are currently under inspection for deviation beyond the limit in the contracts. In all these cases, appropriate cases have been registered with the relevant authorities for further investigation and necessary action. Even if we identify instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and employees and pursue legal recourse or file claims, we cannot assure you that we will recover any amounts lost through such instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and employees. Such instances may also arise in the future, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

65. Failures in internal control systems could cause operational errors which may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control measures commensurate with the size and complexity of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and update our internal processes and systems and there have been no instances of failure to maintain effective internal controls and compliance system in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals. However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances.

We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses in judgment or failures that result from human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor confidence and a decline in the price of our equity shares.

66. We have included in this Red Herring Prospectus certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry, and therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.

74Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial performance such as EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, PAT Margin, Return on Average Capital Employed, Return on Net Worth, Current Ratio and Net Asset Value per Equity Share have been included in this Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of the industry, many of which provide such non-GAAP financial measures and other industry related statistical and operational information.

Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our audited financial statements as reported under applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related statistical and other information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies. For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” on page 443.

67. We do not have title deeds and documents for some of our immovable properties including our Registered And Corporate Office as a result of which our operations may be impaired.

We possess immovable properties at various locations for the purpose of our business, held either on a freehold or a leasehold basis. We acquired most of our land under the Coking Coal Mines. (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 and Coal Mines (Nationalisation) Act, 1973. Certain of our properties have also been acquired through processes instituted under the Land Acquisition Act, Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act. However, some of our immovable properties have certain irregularities in title such as pending mutations, lease deeds and documents not being traceable. For instance, the title deed for our Registered and Corporate Office is not traceable and we cannot assure you that such title deed has been duly executed. Although we have enjoyed uninterrupted and peaceful possession of the property, we may not be able to establish a good and marketable title to it.

Moreover, our inability to identify defects or irregularities of title, and any inability to correct any such defects or irregularities of title may have further adverse effect on our title to the property, which may in turn adversely affect our business and cash flows.

External Risk Factors

68. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws, may adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.

The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate are evolving and are subject to change. The Government of India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.

For instance, the Government has recently notified the provisions of (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Wages Code”); (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. We are yet to determine the impact of all or some such laws on our business and operations, which could restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. For example, the Social Security Code aims to provide uniformity in providing social security benefits to employees, which were previously segregated under different acts and had different applicability and coverage. The Social Security Code has introduced the concept of workers outside traditional employer-employee work-arrangements (including online and digital platforms), such as ‘gig workers’ and ‘platform workers’ and provides for the mandatory registration of such workers in order to enable these workers to avail benefits of, among others, life and disability cover, health and maternity benefits and old age protection, under schemes framed under the Social Security Code from time to time. The Social Security Code also provides that such schemes could, among other things, be partly funded by contributions from online platforms. Further, the Wages Code limits the amounts that could be excluded from being accounted toward employment benefits (such as gratuity and maternity benefits) to a maximum of 50% of the wages payable to employees. The implementation of such laws have the ability to increase our employee and labour costs, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and cash flows.

75Further, pursuant to the Finance Act, 2025, the Government of India has implemented changes to India's taxation framework, including raising the tax exemption threshold to ₹ 1.20 million annually and recalibrating tax slabs, with the maximum rate of 30.00% applying to incomes of ₹ 2.40 million and above. We have not fully determined the impact of these recent laws and regulations on our business. There is no certainty on the impact of the Finance Bill, 2025 on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations or on the industry in which we operate. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent, may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.

We could incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which could also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.

Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current businesses or restrict our ability to grow our businesses in the future. For instance, the Supreme Court of India has in a decision clarified the components of basic wages which need to be considered by companies while making provident fund payments, which resulted in an increase in the provident fund payments to be made by companies.

Any such decisions in future or any further changes in interpretation of laws may have an impact on our results of operations.

69. Natural or man-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely affect our business.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in international relations, especially between India and its neighbouring countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. In addition, India has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse effect on our business. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the market price of the Equity Shares.

70. A downgrade in ratings of India and other jurisdictions we operate in may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the sovereign credit ratings of India. Any further adverse revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.

71. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy in which we operate. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India. Demand for our products may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies.

Economic growth in the countries in which we operate is affected by various factors including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports (oil and oil products), global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. Consequently, any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additionally, tariffs can significantly impact business operations by increasing the cost of imported materials, leading to higher production 76costs and reduced profit margins. The uncertainty surrounding potential changes in trade policies can create financial instability and affect long-term planning. Also, a change in the government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies could adversely affect economic conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and our business in particular and high rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our revenues, and as such decrease our operating margins.

72. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.

The Restated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with Ind AS and restated in accordance with requirements of Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013 (as amended), the SEBI ICDR Regulations (as amended) and the Guidance Note on “Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019)” issued by the ICAI. Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from Indian GAAP, IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries. We have not attempted to quantify their impact of US GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Red Herring Prospectus nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US GAAP or IFRS. US GAAP and IFRS differ in significant respects from Ind AS. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements, and consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus should be limited accordingly.

73. We may be affected by competition laws in India, the adverse application or interpretation of which could adversely affect our business.

The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or the provision of services or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by way of allocation of geographical area or number of consumers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the contravention committed by a company took place with the consent or connivance or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of such company, that person shall be also guilty of the contravention and may be punished. On March 4, 2011, the Government notified and brought into force the combination regulation (merger control) provisions under the Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. These provisions require acquisitions of shares, voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover based thresholds to be mandatorily notified to and pre-approved by the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”). Additionally, on May 11, 2011, the CCI issued Competition Commission of India (Procedure for Transaction of Business Relating to Combinations) Regulations, 2011, as amended, which sets out the mechanism for implementation of the merger control regime in India.

Further, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. In the event we pursue an acquisition in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The manner in which the Competition Act and the CCI affect the business environment in India may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”) was recently notified. The Competition Amendment Act amends the Competition Act and give the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition and the interests of consumers. The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment 77of combinations by the CCI from 210 days to 150 days and empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominant position. The Competition Amendment Act also proposed amendments such as introduction of deal value thresholds for assessing whether a merger or acquisition qualifies as a “combination,” expedited merger review timelines, codification of the lowest standard of “control” and enhanced penalties for failing to provide material information.

If we pursue acquisition transactions in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, or any prohibition or substantial penalties levied under the Competition Act, which would adversely affect our business, results of our operations, cash flows and prospects.

74. We are subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, violation of which may subject our Company and/or our Corporate Promoter to governmental inquiries and/or investigations, which if material and adverse in nature, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods and our reputation.

We have operations and projects, in India. Those operations and projects often involve interactions with governmental authorities and officials at the Indian federal, state and local level. We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in India that prohibit improper payments or offers of improper payments to governments and their officials and political parties for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or securing an improper advantage and require the maintenance of internal controls to prevent such payments. Although, we maintain an anti-bribery compliance program and train our employees in respect of such matters, our employees might take actions that could expose us to liability under anti-bribery laws. In certain circumstances, we may be held liable for actions taken by our partners and agents, even though they are not always subject to our control. Any violation of anti-corruption laws against us or our Corporate Promoter could result in penalties, both financial and non- financial, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods and reputation.

75. The Indian tax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Any change in Indian tax laws could have an effect on our operations. The GoI has implemented two major reforms in Indian tax laws, namely the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), and provisions relating to general anti- avoidance rules (“GAAR”). The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The indirect taxes on goods and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value added tax, surcharge and excise have been replaced by GST with effect from July 1, 2017. The GST regime continues to be subject to amendments and its interpretation by the relevant regulatory authorities is constantly evolving. GAAR became effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement may result in, among others, a denial of tax benefit to us and our business. In the absence of any substantial precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is subjective. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to us, it may have an adverse tax impact on us. Further, if the tax costs associated with certain of our transactions are greater than anticipated because of a particular tax risk materializing on account of new tax regulations and policies, it could affect our profitability from such transactions.

Earlier, distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”), in the hands of the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess). Such dividends were generally exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, the GoI has amended the Income-tax Act, 1961 (“IT Act”) to abolish the DDT regime. Accordingly, any dividend distribution by a domestic company is subject to tax in the hands of the investor at the applicable rate. Additionally, the Company is required to withhold tax on such dividends distributed at the applicable rate.

Further, pursuant to the Finance Act, 2025, the Government of India has implemented changes to India's taxation framework, including raising the tax exemption threshold to ₹ 1.2 million annually and recalibrating tax slabs, with the maximum rate of 30% applying to incomes of ₹ 2.4 million and above. We have not fully determined the impact of these recent laws and regulations on our business. There is no certainty on the impact of the Finance Bill, 2025 on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations or on the industry in which we operate. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change 78in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent, may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.

We cannot predict whether any new tax laws or regulations impacting our services will be enacted, what the nature and impact of the specific terms of any such laws or regulations will be or whether if at all, any laws or regulations would have an adverse effect on our business. Further, any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/ courts would have an effect on our profitability. In addition, we are subject to tax related inquiries and claims.

76. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us, our Directors, the Book Running Lead Managers or any of their directors and executive officers in India respectively, except by way of a lawsuit in India.

Our Company is incorporated under the laws of India. All of our Company’s assets are located in India and all of our Company’s Directors and Key Managerial Personnel are residents of India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in jurisdictions outside India, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in courts outside India. Moreover, it is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action were brought in India or that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages as excessive or inconsistent with Indian public policy or if judgments are in breach or contrary to Indian law.

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (“CPC”). India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with a limited number of jurisdictions, which includes, the UK, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong. A judgment from certain specified courts located in a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the CPC. The U.S. and India do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in a non-reciprocating territory, such as the U.S., for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the general laws, including securities laws of the non- reciprocating territory, including U.S., would not be enforceable in India under the CPC as a decree of an Indian court. The UK, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong have been declared by the Government of India to be reciprocating territories for the purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Code. Section 13 of the Civil Code provides that foreign judgments shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or parties litigating under the same title, except (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case, (iii) where it appears on the face of the proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or refusal to recognise the law of India in cases to which such law is applicable, (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice, (v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud or

(vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law then in force in India. Under the CPC, a court in India shall, on the production of any document purporting to be a certified copy of a foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless the contrary appears on record. The CPC only permits the enforcement of monetary decrees, not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges, fines or penalties. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal recognition with India cannot be enforced by proceedings in execution in India. Even if an investor obtained a judgment in such a jurisdiction against us, our officers or directors, it may be required to institute a new proceeding in India and obtain a decree from an Indian court.

However, the party in whose favour such final judgment is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India based on a final judgment that has been obtained in the U.S. or other such jurisdiction within three years of obtaining such final judgment. In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain the prior approval of the RBI to repatriate any amount recovered.

77. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our products at a proportional rate in order to pass costs on to our consumers thereby reducing our margins.

Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs to our business, including increased costs of wages and other expenses. High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs. Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to our consumers, 79whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or increase the price of our products to pass the increase in costs on to our consumers. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, the Government of India has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.

78. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price, price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to revenue multiple based on the Offer Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.

Our revenue from operations for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 138,025.50 million and restated profit for the year for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 12,401.90. The table below provides details of our price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to

revenue from operations at the upper end of the Price Band:

Particulars Price to Earnings Ratio Market Capitalization to Revenue Fiscal 2025 [●]* [●]* *To be populated at Prospectus stage.

The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band will be determined shall be disclosed in the advertisement that will be issued for the publication of the Price Band.

Further, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through the book-building process prescribed under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in the section “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 123 and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our key performance indicators (“KPIs”) shall become higher than our listed comparable industry peers in the future. An inability to improve, maintain or compete, or any reduction in such KPIs in comparison with the listed comparable industry peers may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that our methodologies are correct or will not change and accordingly, our position in the market may differ from that presented in this Red Herring Prospectus.

Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing does not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.

The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing. Further, the market price of the Equity Shares may decline below the Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.

79. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional Surveillance Measure (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.

SEBI and Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard interest of investors, have been introducing various enhanced pre-emptive surveillance measures. The main objective of these measures is to alert and advice investors to be extra cautious while dealing in these securities and advice market participants to carry out necessary due diligence while dealing in these securities. Accordingly, SEBI and Stock Exchanges have

provided for (a) GSM on securities where such trading price of such securities does not commensurate with financial health and fundamentals such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net-worth, price per equity multiple and market capitalization; and (b) ASM on securities with surveillance concerns based on objective parameters such as price and volume variation, percentage of delivery and volatility.

80On listing, we may be subject to general market conditions which may include significant price and volume fluctuations. The price of our Equity Shares may also fluctuate after the Offer due to several factors such as volatility in the Indian and global securities market, our profitability and performance, performance of our competitors, changes in the estimates of our performance or any other political or economic factor. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors may trigger the parameters identified by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing securities under the GSM or ASM framework such as net worth and net fixed assets of securities, high low variation in securities, client concentration and close to close price variation.

In the event our Equity Shares are covered under such pre-emptive surveillance measures implemented by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in relation to trading of our Equity Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month) or freezing of price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the development of an active market for and trading of our Equity Shares.

80. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Offer may not result in an active or liquid market for the Equity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and the investors may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.

Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the stock exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. Our Equity Shares are expected to trade on NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no assurance that active trading in our Equity Shares will develop after the Offer, or if such trading develops that it will continue. Investors may not be able to sell our Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in our Equity Shares. There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares after the Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Red Herring Prospectus. The market price of our Equity Shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, among others:

• the failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after the Offer, or changes in the estimates of our performance by analysts; • the activities of competitors; • future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our Shareholders;

• investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate; • changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations of principles; • our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;

• developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations; and • the public’s reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports.

A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

81. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of the Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company is generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied on equity shares sold on an Indian stock exchange. Any capital gains exceeding ₹125,000, realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognized stock exchange, held for more than 12 months may be subject to long-term capital gains tax in India at the rate of 12.50% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). This beneficial provision is, inter alia, subject to payment of STT. Further any capital gains realized on the sale of listed equity shares of an Indian company, held for more than 12 months, which are sold using any platform other than a recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India at the rate of 12.50% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), without indexation benefits.

81Further, any gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately preceding the date of transfer, will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India at the rate of 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), subject to STT being paid at the time of sale of such shares. Otherwise, such gains will be taxed at the applicable rates.

The Government of India has recently announced the Union Budget for Financial Year 2026 (“Budget”), pursuant to which the Finance Act, 2025 has amended the Income-tax Act, 1961, including the capital gains tax rates with effect from the date of announcement of the Budget. We cannot predict whether any future amendments to applicable tax laws would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, future cash flows and results of operations. Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing laws, rules and regulations, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.

Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will not be chargeable to tax in India in cases where relief from such taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident read with the Multilateral Instrument, if and to the extent applicable, and the seller is entitled to avail benefits thereunder. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain realized upon the sale of the Equity Shares. We may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source pursuant to any corporate action.

82. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in the Offer.

Our Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to the applicable Indian laws, certain actions must be completed before our Equity Shares can be listed and trading of our Equity Shares may commence.

Further, in accordance with Indian law, permission for listing of our Equity Shares will be granted only after our Equity Shares in this Offer have been Allotted and all other relevant documents authorizing the issuing of our Equity Shares have been submitted. The Allotment of Equity Shares in this Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account with depository participant could take approximately two Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. There can be no assurance that our Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in our Equity Shares will commence within the prescribed time periods. We could also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within the time periods prescribed under law. This could lead to financial liabilities and reputational damage, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

83. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may dilute your shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by shareholders with significant shareholding may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us, including a primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our major shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares or that our Shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.

84. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

82Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a prior approval of the RBI will be required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. As provided in the foreign exchange controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided that the price at which the Equity Shares are transferred be calculated in accordance with internationally accepted pricing methodology for the valuation of shares at an arm’s length basis, and a higher (or lower, as applicable) price per share may not be permitted. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Indian government agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all. Further, due to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in the Equity Shares may be prevented from realizing gains during periods of price increase or limiting losses during periods of price decline.

In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has been incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Non-debt Rules, all investments under the foreign direct investment route by entities of a country or where the beneficial owner of the Equity Shares is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can only be made through the Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. While the term “beneficial owner” is defined under the Prevention of Money-Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005 and the General Financial Rules, 2017, neither the foreign direct investment policy nor the FEMA Rules provide a definition of the term “beneficial owner”. The interpretation of “beneficial owner” and enforcement of this regulatory change involves certain uncertainties, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to raise foreign capital. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the timeline within which the said approval from the GoI may be obtained, if at all.

For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page 532.

85. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on the value of the Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.

Upon listing, the Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of the Equity Shares will be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into appropriate foreign currency for repatriation. In addition, any adverse movement in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the net proceeds received by shareholders.

86. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after the submission of their Bid, and Retail Individual Bidders, and Eligible Employees Bidding the Employee Reservation Portion are not permitted to withdraw their Bids after closure of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date.

Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and NIBs are required to pay the Bid Amount on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees Bidding the Employee Reservation Portion and Eligible Shareholders bidding under the Shareholder Reservation Portion can revise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. While we are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within three Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting the investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the Investors’ ability to 83sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.

87. Investors may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.

Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution.

However, if the law of the jurisdiction the investors are in, does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without our Company filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless our Company makes such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investor’s benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in our Company would be reduced.

88. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive and wide-spread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.

Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder of our Company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.

89. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares of the Selling Shareholders may be lower than the Offer Price.

The average cost of acquisition of the Equity Shares for the Selling Shareholders may be lower than the Offer Price. For details, see “Basis for Offer Price” and “Capital Structure” on pages 123 and 106, respectively. The Offer Price is not indicative of the price at which our Company has issued the Equity Shares in the past or that will prevail in the open market following listing of the Equity Shares.

90. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions under Indian law.

Certain provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 (“SEBI Takeover Regulations”), an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of our Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of the SEBI Takeover Regulations.

These possible special tax benefits are dependent on the Company and its shareholders fulfilling the conditions prescribed under the taxation laws. Hence, the ability of the Company and its shareholders to derive the possible special tax benefits is dependent upon fulfilling such conditions, which are based on business imperatives it faces in the future, it may or may not choose to fulfil.

A. STATEMENT OF POSSIBLE DIRECT TAX BENEFITS

1. Direct tax benefits available to the Company The Income Tax Act, 1961 (the “Act”), including the amendments introduced by the Finance Act, 2025. One such provision is under Section 115BAA, which offers a concessional tax rate of 22% (plus surcharge and cess), available as an option for companies that choose not to claim any exemptions or deductions. Additionally, the Act incorporates provisions related to Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA), which provide reduced withholding tax rates for cross-border transactions. This is particularly advantageous for government companies engaged in global projects, as it allows them to benefit from these reduced tax rates in international operations.

2. Direct tax benefits available to the shareholders of the Company There are no special tax benefits available to the shareholders of the Company for investing in the equity shares of the Company.

B. STATEMENT OF POSSIBLE INDIRECT TAX BENEFIT

1. Indirect tax benefits available to the Company The Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017 contains various provisions that provide exemptions and benefits. Section 11 empowers the government to exempt goods or services from tax, either absolutely or subject to conditions, through notifications. Specifically, Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) exempts certain services from CGST, including pure services (excluding works contract services or other composite supplies involving goods) provided to the government or local authorities. Additionally, income earned from extending deposits, loans, or advances, represented by way of interest or discount, is exempted from GST. This means that interest income earned by a company is not subject to GST. Section 16 allows companies to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on goods or services used in the course or furtherance of business, subject to conditions.

Furthermore, Section 54 provides for a refund of tax on inputs or input services used in making zero-rated supplies, including exports.

The Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) Act, 2017 also includes important provisions. Section 16 treats supplies of goods or services for export or to Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as zero-rated supplies, making them eligible for a refund of input taxes. Additionally, Section 20 ensures that provisions from the CGST Act, such as those related to input tax credit, refunds, and exemptions, are applicable to IGST as well.

The Customs Act, 1962 and Customs Tariff Act, 1975 provide further benefits and exemptions. Section 25 of the Customs Act grants the government the power to exempt goods from customs duty by notification, either absolutely or subject to conditions. The Project Imports Regulations, 1986 allow for the import of capital goods at a concessional customs duty rate for specific projects, including infrastructure and power projects. The Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme enables the import of capital goods at zero customs duty for pre- production, production, and post-production activities, provided there is an export obligation. Additionally, Customs Notification No. 50/2017-Customs offers exemptions or concessional customs duty rates for specified goods, subject to conditions.

2. Indirect tax benefits available to the shareholders of the Company There are no special tax benefits available to the shareholders of the Company for investing in the equity shares of the Company.

Notes: a) The above is as per the current taxation laws in force in India.

144b) The above Statement of possible special tax benefits sets out the provisions of Taxation Laws in a summary manner only and is not a complete analysis or listing of all the existing and potential tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposal of equity shares of the Company.

c) The possible special tax benefits are subject to conditions and eligibility which need to be examined for tax implications. d) This Statement does not discuss any tax consequences in any country outside India of an investment in the equity shares of the Company.

The shareholders / investors in any country outside India are advised to consult their own professional advisors regarding possible income tax consequences that apply to them.

Indian Macro-economic Overview World economy and Indian economy snapshot India is the world’s fifth-largest economy, behind United States (US), China, Germany and Japan, and the fastest- growing major economy. Its growth rate (6.5% in CY24) is much higher than that of the world economy (3.3% in CY24)1. The global economy is driven by production and consumption of goods and services which are heavily reliant on the extraction and processing of natural resources. The mining industry provides the basic raw materials necessary for energy generation, manufacturing of steel, aluminum, cement and other essential products thereby playing a critical role in supporting the economic growth and development of the world as well as India. The global economy, as measured by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has reached a significant milestone, crossing the $100 trillion mark (nominal) in 2022, representing a significant increase from $25 trillion mark in 1992 and $50 trillion mark in 2006 which is approximately doubling in every 15 years. As per the IMF's World Economic Outlook (October 2025), the global GDP is forecasted to grow from $117 trillion in 2025 to $150 trillion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.00% underscoring the optimistic outlook for the world economy over the medium term.

Major Structural Reforms by the Indian Government to Assist Economic and Real Estate Growth The Indian government has been actively working towards transforming the country's economy and real estate sector through a series of structural reforms. These reforms aim to improve the business environment, increase transparency, and attract foreign investment, ultimately driving the economic growth and development.

Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA)2 is a significant reform that has brought transparency and accountability to the real estate sector. The Act came into force on 1 May 2016 with 61 of 92 sections notified. The remaining provisions came into force on 1 May 2017. It seeks to protect homebuyers as well as help in boosting investments in the real estate sector by bringing efficiency and transparency in the sale/purchase of real estate. The Act establishes Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in each state for regulation of the real estate sector and also acts as an adjudicating body for speedy dispute resolution.

2 https://www.indiacode.nic.in/handle/123456789/2158 149Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016 is an Indian law which creates a consolidated framework that governs insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings for companies, partnership firms, and individuals. For the real estate sector, where delays, fund diversion, and incomplete projects were common, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code created a structural framework for resolution, protecting the interest of homebuyers, lenders and developers alike. Homebuyers are considered financial creditors under the IBC, enabling them to initiate the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against a defaulting developer.

Special Economic Zones (Fifth Amendment) Rules, 2023 The Special Economic Zones Act, 2005, is a law that provides a framework for establishing, developing, and managing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in India to promote exports and related activities. The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Rules, 2006, define the framework for establishing and operating SEZs in India, which are designated areas offering incentives and streamlined regulations to attract foreign investment and boost economic growth. The SEZ Act, 2005 and the SEZ Rules, 2006 form the legal basis, specifying procedures for approval, administrative setup, and operational guidelines. These rules aim to simplify processes for developers and units, ensuring a conducive environment for businesses to thrive.

Goods and Services Tax The Indian real estate sector, contributing about 7.3%3 to GDP, has traditionally been riddled with complex taxation including VAT, service tax, excise duty, stamp duty, and registration charges. The implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on 1st July 2017 replaced many indirect taxes and brought about structural changes. The GST reform aimed to improve transparency, reduce tax cascading, and improve compliance in real estate, which had often been informal and fragmented.

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) Mission4 launched on 25th June 2015 which intends to provide housing for all in urban areas by year 2022. The Mission provides Central Assistance to the implementing agencies through States/Union Territories (UTs) and Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) for providing houses to all eligible families/ beneficiaries against the validated demand for houses for about 1.12 crore.

National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) The National Infrastructure Pipeline5 (NIP) for FY 2019-25 is a first-of-its-kind, whole-of-government exercise to provide world-class infrastructure to citizens and improving their quality of life. It aims to improve project preparation and attract investments into infrastructure. To draw up the NIP, a High-Level Task Force was constituted under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance.

The NIP has been made on a best effort basis by aggregating the information provided by various stakeholders including line ministries, departments, state governments and private sector across infrastructure sub-sectors, as identified in the Harmonized Master List of Infrastructure. All projects (Greenfield or Brownfield, under conceptualization or under implementation or under Development) of project cost greater than Rs. 1,000 million per project were sought to be captured.

National Logistics Policy (NLP) The National Logistics Policy (NLP) was launched by the Prime Minister of India on September 17, 2022, to drive economic growth and business competitiveness through an integrated, seamless, efficient, reliable, green, sustainable, and cost-effective logistics network. The policy aims to reduce logistics costs, improve the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) ranking, and create a data-driven decision-support mechanism for an efficient logistics ecosystem. The policy has set targets to reduce logistics costs, improve the Logistics Performance Index ranking, and create a data-driven decision support mechanism for an efficient logistics ecosystem.

Economic survey and Union Budget analysis 3 https://www.ibef.org/industry/real-estate-india 4 https://pmaymis.gov.in 5 https://indiainvestmentgrid.gov.in/national-infrastructure-pipeline 150The Economic Survey 2024 suggested adoption of gasification technology in India which can revolutionize the coal sector. This will reduce the dependence on imports for various resources made with the help of coal, such as natural gas, methanol, ammonia and other products. This will help India in meeting its net zero carbon emissions goal. Additionally, the government has launched several coal initiatives, such as Coal Gasification Mission, to gasify 100 MMT of coal by 2030 through surface coal or Lignite Gasification projects. The Union Budget 2025- 26 has identified mining as one of the six key domain areas thereby recognizing the mining sector's importance which is a significant development as it acknowledges the sector's potential to contribute to India's economic growth and development. The Indian government's budget for the next Fiscal year aims to support economic growth through a combination of steady capital expenditure and consumption boost, while tightening the Fiscal belt. Fiscal deficit is budgeted to reduce to 4.4% of GDP, down from 4.8% in the current Fiscal, with a focus on reducing revenue expenditure. Capital expenditure remains at 3.1% of GDP, while the effective capital expenditure, including budgetary and internal and extra-budgetary resources, increases to 5.5% of GDP to lift the domestic economy and crowd-in private capex. At Rs 11.2 lakh crore the allocation for capital expenditure in Fiscal 2026 marks a 10% increase on year. This is expected to support the growth of infrastructure sectors such as roads, railways, and urban development.

India GDP trends The fastest growing among major economies, India became the fourth largest economy in the world and is on track to become the third largest by fiscal 2030 with a projected $7.3 trillion GDP. As per data published by the RBI handbook of statistics on the Indian economy, the Indian economy grew from Rs 145 trillion in fiscal 2020 to Rs 188 trillion in fiscal 2025 at 5.3% CAGR between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 20256.

Fiscal deficit is generally caused by higher government spending and reduced tax revenues. A large Fiscal deficit can cause excessive borrowing by the government to finance the Fiscal deficit leading to inflation. A persistent Fiscal deficit can lead to a reduction in the government's credit rating, making it more expensive to borrow in the future.

Emissions in the Power Sector Coal is the largest source of carbon emissions from fossil fuels, accounting for approximately 41% of global CO emissions18. The countries with the highest carbon emissions from coal in 202319 are 55.5% China (8,550 2 million tons CO ), 13.2% India (2,031 million tons CO ), 5.0% United States (776 million tons CO ), 2.8% 2 2 2 Russia (428 million tons CO ), and 2.1% South Africa (330 million tons CO ). The carbon emissions from coal 2 2 in these countries are primarily due to the use of coal for electricity generation, industrial processes, and heating.

The emissions from coal are not only a major contributor to climate change but also have significant health impacts, particularly in terms of air pollution.

India's National Electricity Plan (NEP) outlines a trajectory where absolute carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation are projected to increase in the coming years reaching to about 1,100 MMT in Fiscal 2032.

This rise is attributed to the growing energy demands of the nation. However, a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions per unit of electricity generated is anticipated, reflecting improvements in generation efficiency and a shift towards cleaner energy sources owing to the ambitious renewable energy goals set by an Indian Government including achieving 50% of the nation’s cumulative installed power capacity from renewable sources by 203020.

Source: Crisil Intelligence Types of coal Coal has been a cornerstone of human civilization for centuries. At its core, coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that is composed of a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Its unique properties make it an ideal source of energy, and it has been used for a variety of purposes, including electricity generation, industrial processes and domestic heating. On the basis of degree of coalification, there are five main types coal namely, anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite and peat. Further, coal is broadly categorized under coking coal and non-coking coal.

Coking Coal Coking coal, also known as metallurgical coal possesses unique property of forming coke when heated in the absence of air at a temperature of 1030- 1060oC. Coke is a hard, porous substance essential for the blast furnace process in steelmaking. This characteristic distinguishes coking coal from non-coking coal, which lacks the ability to form coke and is primarily used for energy generation. According to the Ministry of Coal, the classification of coking coal is based on ash content28.

Non-coking Coal Thermal coal, also known as non-coking coal is primarily used for power generation and industrial applications where heat is needed. It is classified based on its energy content, ash content, sulfur content, and moisture content. In India thermal coal is classified as follows.

The gross calorific value (GCV) is the most critical parameter for thermal coal classification. It determines how much energy is released during combustion. Higher GCV values indicate better-quality coal for power generation. The ash content of thermal coal is a crucial parameter as it impacts the efficiency of the combustion process. Lower ash content is preferred as it results in less slag formation and higher efficiency. Coal with high moisture content has a lower effective energy yield.

Coal mining Broadly, coal mining is classified into Open-Cast (OC) Mining and Underground (UG) Mining, each with distinct methodologies, advantages, and challenges. In India coal is mined using both UG and OC methods.

However, the majority of the coal extracted in India is through the OC method.

Source: Coal Directory Fiscal 2024-25, all years are Fiscal years The share of coal extracted from OC mines has increased over the years due to less mining cost and greater recovery. Since 2020, the total coal production has grown significantly, with the OC mining method dominating the industry. In Fiscal 2025, the production of coal in India has been largely from OC mines i.e., 1016 MMT, and 32 MMT from UG mines. The trend is expected to continue, with OC mining remaining the preferred method of coal extraction in India. Coal mined from UG mines has declined consistently from 49 MMT in Fiscal 2015 to 32 MMT in Fiscal 2025 owing to expensive mining cost and operational complexities.

Opencast Coal Mining Open cast coal mining is the dominant method of coal extraction in India, accounting for around 96.6% of the country's total coal production. This method involves removing soil and rock to expose coal seams, which are then extracted using heavy machinery and transported to power plants or other industries. Open cast mining is generally more cost-effective and safer than underground mining, and India's major open cast coal mines are located in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. The largest open cast coal mine in India is the Gevra mine in Chhattisgarh, which has a capacity of over 80 MMT of coal per year.

Underground Coal Mining Underground coal mining is the traditional method of coal extraction in India, accounting for around 3.4% of the country's total coal production. This method involves digging tunnels and shafts to access coal seams, which are then extracted using conventional or mechanized methods. Underground mining is typically used for deeper coal deposits, and India's major underground coal mines are located in the states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. However, underground mining is often hampered by geological challenges, safety concerns, and high production costs.

Although UG mining dominates global coal production, in India, only a small percentage of coal is extracted through this method. The majority of UG coal production in India uses the Board and Pillar's method, which involves creating pillars to support the roof while extracting coal. However, this method has a low coal recovery rate and is more suitable for shallow coal seams. The Longwall mining method, which uses advanced machinery, has a higher coal recovery rate but is not widely used in India due to its high cost and the small size of most UG mines. As a result, UG mining productivity in India is low, and production has been decreasing over the years.

Coal reserves and resources As of 2023, the world's coal reserves are estimated to be 1,165.9 Billion MT29, with most of these reserves located in the Asia-Pacific region. The top 5 countries with largest coal reserve include, USA, Russia, China, Australia and India, with all of them together contributing about 72% of the global coal reserves. As of April 1st, 2024, the geological resource of Indian coal have been estimated to be 389.4230 billion metric tonnes (BMT) 29 US Energy Information System 30 Coal Directory of India, 2023-24 167at various depths. The breakdown of these reserves by depth is as follows: 0-300 meters: 206.28 BMT (53%), 300-600 meters: 127.63 BMT (33%), 0- 600 meters: 15.41 BMT (4%) & 600-1200 meters: 40.10 BMT (10%).

The coal resources in India are predominantly concentrated within 4 states such as Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, has been the backbone of India's coal production, which is home to approximately 80% of the country's total coal resources.

Coal sector: From nationalisation to commercialisation

Source: Crisil Intelligence Participation in coal block auctions was no longer limited to captive users but open to any player, including international ones for mining and selling coal from India. In August 2020, 100% FDI was allowed, removing the last significant vestige of regulation in the coal mining industry. Recently, existing captive allottees have been allowed to sell up to 50% of their coal production in the open market subject to meeting end use plant requirement. Subsequently, twelve rounds of commercial coal block auctions have been concluded so far, resulting in successful auctions of 134 blocks. The 13th and 14th round (Tranche XIII & Tranche XIV) were launched with Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) dated August 21, 2025 and October 29, 2025 respectively, and is underway (as of November 2025).

168Key policies influencing the coal market National Coal Distribution Guiding policy for sale and distribution of coal in India, introduced Letter of Assurance (LoA)- Policy 2007 Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) regime, sale via nominated agencies and e-auction of coal CMSP Act 2015 Auctions for allocation of coal block to end-users introduced Policy for allocation of linkages to non-regulated sectors via auctions, prior FSAs are not Linkage Auction Policy 2016 renewed after the policy SHAKTI Policy 2017 Policy for allocation of linkages to power plants, objective of fading away of LoA-FSA regime MMDR Amendment Act Coal block auctions opened-up to commercial players as well and up to 50% of sale allowed 2020 from captive coal blocks

Source: Crisil Intelligence, Ministry of Coal Mines Act 1952 The Mines Act of 1952 is a key piece of Indian legislation focused on regulating labor and safety in mines. It aims to protect the health, safety, and well-being of mine workers, and it also establishes the duties and responsibilities of mine owners. The Act covers various aspects, including working hours, leave with wages, employment of women and children, and reporting of accidents and diseases.

Mineral Concession Rules, 1960 (MCR) The Mineral Concession Rules 1960 provide the procedural details for the grant of mineral concessions under the MMDR Act. This law defines the procedures for applying for reconnaissance permits, prospecting licenses and mining leases. It also outlines the rights and responsibilities of concession holders.

National Coal Distribution Policy (NCDP), 2007 The overarching policy guiding coal distribution and sale in India is the National Coal Distribution Policy

(NCDP), 2007 and the various amendments thereof. The NCDP guides the overall framework for allocation of coal linkages to different sectors, distribution to MSME sectors and e-auction schemes to be conducted by CIL subsidiaries. The NCDP seeks to facilitate supply of assured quantities of coal to various categories of consumers at predetermined prices, taking into consideration regulatory regimes governing the end-use sectors. It also envisages an enlarged role for state governments in the supply of coal to a large number of small and medium industries. Under this policy, e-auction sales of coal were re-introduced to encourage the emergence of a proper coal market in the country.

The CMSP Act, 2015 The Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015 brought reforms to the coal sector. The Act introduced a transparent and competitive bidding process for auctioning coal blocks. It also outlined the process for allocating coal blocks to public sector units and ultra-mega power projects. Since its implementation, the government has conducted multiple rounds of coal block auctions and allocations between January 2015 and November 2019.

Linkage Auction Policy The MoC vide letter No. 23011/51/2015-CPD (Pt-I) dated February 15, 2016, issued policy guidelines for auction of linkages for the non-regulated sector. It was stipulated that all allocations of linkages/LOAs for the non-regulated sector, viz. cement, steel/sponge iron, aluminum and others [excluding fertilizer (urea sector)], including their CPPs, shall henceforth be auction-based. Also, there will be no renewal of existing FSAs of non- regulated sectors [except FSAs of CPSEs and fertilizer (urea)]. CIL and SCCL have accordingly been conducting 169linkage auctions for the non-regulated sector, including for steel, cement and sponge iron, and FSAs are signed with successful bidders by the subsidiary coal companies of CIL and SCCL.

SHAKTI Policy The Government of India introduced the SHAKTI (Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyla (Coal) Transparently in India) policy in 2017. The policy provided a new system of coal allocation under which power plants were segregated into different categories based on existing power purchase agreements and fuel supply agreements or linkages. The participants under the scheme could participate and source coal for short- and long- term linkages. The overall objective of the scheme was to ensure supply to power plants, minimize risk to the banks exposed to non-performing assets, reduce electricity bills, and decrease imports.

Coal Mines Regulations 2017 The Coal Mines Regulations, 2017 in India are a set of rules that govern the operation of coal mines, focusing on safety, health, and environmental protection. They outline the responsibilities of mine owners, agents, and managers, including safety precautions in mechanized opencast workings and ventilation requirements. The regulations also address various aspects of mine operation, including inspection, training, and the use of approved machinery.

Mission Coking Coal, 2021 The Ministry of Coal has embarked on an ambitious mission "Mission Coking Coal”, aimed at enhancing domestic coking coal production to reduce the country's reliance on imports. This initiative is driven by the growing demand for coking coal from the steel sector, which is expected to drive economic growth. The mission seeks to increase domestic raw coking coal production to 140 million tons (MT) by the financial year 2029-30. This mission aligns with broader initiatives like the National Steel Policy 2017, targeting reduced import dependency and securing a steady supply of coking coal through domestic exploration, beneficiation, and infrastructure development.

Government policies Government policies significantly influence the energy sector, with recent initiatives focusing on reducing import dependency on coal and advancing sustainability.

Energy Policies While India is making significant strides in renewable energy and green hydrogen, coal remains a critical component of the country's energy mix. To address the challenges and opportunities within the coal sector, the government has introduced several targeted policies. Additionally, the Integrated Coal Logistics Plan for Coal Mines/Blocks, introduced in February 2024, focuses on developing efficient and cost-effective coal logistics.

This policy aims to streamline coal evacuation processes and enhance operational efficiency. The Coal Blocks Allocation (Amendment) Rules, 2023 further reflect the government's efforts to optimize the allocation, along with its plan to produce 1.5 BT (1,500 million tonne of coal) and management of coal resources, ensuring a more transparent and efficient process.

Coal sales channels in India There are four types of coal blocks in India.

CIL / SCCL blocks – The majority coal blocks are owned by Coal India Limited (CIL) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). Prior to commercialisation of coal sector in India, all commercial production of coal in the country was routed through CIL/SCCL.

Captive coal blocks – A handful of coal blocks are with companies having specific end-uses. These are called captive blocks. These companies use coal for their internal consumption. Prior to 2015, blocks were awarded on a nomination basis for captive use. After CMSP Act 2015 came into force, coal blocks were allocated as captive blocks (for regulated sector and non-regulated sector). Within the auctioned segment, initially (CMSP tranches VIII, IX, X) companies were allowed to sell 25% of coal commercially after meeting their end use requirement.

Commercial coal blocks – After the commercialisation of the coal sector in 2020, the government started auctioning coal blocks for commercial production. Till date, the auction process of a total of 134 coal blocks has been completed with an estimated annual peak capacity of approximately 357 MTPA31.

Abandoned mines/ discontinued blocks – In 2022, CIL started auctioning the discontinued coal mines for re- opening on revenue-sharing basis to bring them back into operation. These are classified here as abandoned/ 31 As of November 2025 170discontinued blocks. By Fiscal 2024, a total of 24 such mines have been awarded so far out of 34 identified mines. In Fiscal 2024, CIL32 awarded 11 such mines on revenue sharing models to successful bidders with a cumulative peak rated capacity (PRC) of 17.86 MTPA, while the total extractable reserves are estimated at 267.5 MMT. The abandoned blocks offered will be operated by mine operators who will develop and operate the block and sell the coal on behalf of the owner of mine. They will be required to share the final revenue generated from the sale proceeds with the owner of the mine (e.g. CIL and its subsidiaries) as per the coal mining agreement. A total of 6 such Abandoned mines/ discontinued blocks have been successfully auctioned by BCCL having a total Peak Rated Capacity (PRC) of approximately 8.4 MMTPA till Fiscal 202533. 4 mines namely Salanpur AGKC (1.4 MMTPA), PB Project (2.7 MMTPA), Madhuband (1.5 MMTPA) and Kharkharee (1.2 MMTPA) are expected to start coal production by Fiscal 2026, Loyabad (1.3 MMTPA) and Amlabad (0.3 MMTPA) are expected to commence production by Fiscal 2028 and Fiscal 2029 respectively. Further, 4 blocks (Amalgamated Dharmabandh Colliery, Amal. East Bhuggatdih Simlabahal, Lohapatti and Begunia) are under auction process.

In India, coal is sold through various channels by CIL/ SCCL, and the price of coal depends on the channel through which it is sold. The existing sales channels can be primarily categorized as follows:

Classification of coal sales channels

Source: Crisil Intelligence Existing coal sales channels in the country, mostly linkage routes and non-linkage route, are aligned with the sales and marketing policies and practices of CIL/ SCCL. Under the linkage route, coal is supplied to the central and state power generation companies at the notified prices of CIL/ SCCL, and to non-regulated sectors (NRS) on forward auction basis (linkage auctions). These form bulk of the CIL coal supplies. Besides, there are other sales channels such as spot auctions, special spot e-auctions, special forward auctions for the power sector, exclusive auctions for non-regulated sector (NRS) and for imported coal substitutions (these channels have now been merged into single window channel of selling). Auction terms, premiums and the overall ex-mine price of coal differ from one sales channel to the other. Commercial coal blocks are allowed to sell coal though any mechanism. Captive coal blocks are also allowed to sell up to 50% of their produce in the open market after meeting their end use. Further the abandoned mines are allowed to sell coal through an auction platform only as mentioned in the contract agreement.

Effect of global events on the coal sector and focus on renewal power The coal sector has been significantly impacted by global events leading to a decline in its dominance and a shift towards renewable energy sources. Here are some key events and trends that have influenced the coal sector and

the growth of renewable energy:

Global events impacting the coal sector:

1. Paris Agreement (2015): The Paris Agreement set a global goal to limit global warming to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This agreement marked a significant shift towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which has led to a decline in coal demand.

2. China's energy policy shift (2017): China, the world's largest coal consumer, announced plans to reduce coal consumption and increase renewable energy capacity. This shift has had a significant impact on global coal markets.

32 Source: Annual Report, CIL 2024 33 BCCL

1713. European Union's climate policies (2019): The EU introduced the European Green Deal, aiming to become carbon neutral by 2050. This has led to a decline in coal-fired power generation and an increase in renewable energy investments.

4. COVID-19 pandemic (2020): The pandemic led to a global economic downturn, resulting in reduced energy demand and a decline in coal prices. This accelerated the transition to renewable energy sources, as governments and companies sought to reduce costs and mitigate climate risks.

5. Russia-Ukraine war (2022): Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the subsequent war continues to have a profound impact on global energy markets leading to imposition of sanctions on Russian producers thereby impacting the Russian coal trade flows, which would have significant implications for the global metallurgical coal market.

Factors influencing growth of renewable energy:

1. Cost competitiveness: The cost of renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind power, has decreased dramatically, making them more competitive with fossil fuels. Since 2010, the cost of solar photovoltaic electricity has fallen 85%, and the costs of both onshore and offshore wind electricity have been cut by about half. Both of these renewable sources are now cost-competitive with fossil fuel electricity.

2. Government policies and targets: Policy support has been essential for the growth of renewable energy.

Renewable energy tax credits and subsidies, feed-in tariffs, and competitive auctions have all helped reduce costs and spur deployment. Government investment in research and development has been essential in promoting innovation in renewable energy. China, Europe and the United States have become leaders in solar and wind through policy support, and worldwide, 165 countries have targets to increase renewable energy. India, in particular, has set ambitious targets through its Panchamrit Goals, which aim to reduce the country's carbon footprint and increase the share of non-fossil fuels in its energy mix.

3. Technological advancements: Improvements in energy storage, smart grids, and other technologies have enhanced the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy systems.

4. Attracts Incentives and Subsidies: The renewable energy sector attracts various incentives and subsidies that make it an attractive option for investors and developers. Incentives include tax credits, grants, and low-interest loans, which help to reduce the upfront costs of renewable energy projects.

The coal sector has been significantly impacted by global events, leading to a decline in its dominance and a shift towards renewable energy sources. As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, the focus on renewable power will continue to grow, driven by declining costs, increasing investment, and government policies and targets.

Pricing trends of Coking Coal The international trade in coking coal is driven by the demand from the steel industry. With global crude steel production rising to 1892 million tonne in 2023 from 1433 million tonne in 2010 at a CAGR of approximately 2%, the demand for coking coal has increased significantly. Asian countries, particularly China, Russia, India, Japan and South Korea, dominate the demand side, accounting for nearly 90% of the international market share.

The majority of coking coal is supplied by Australia, United States, Mongolia, Russia and Canada, with almost 90% of the volume being seaborne. The supply of coking coal is dominated by Australia with about half of global exports and the demand of coking coal is dominated by China with about two third of global consumption.

The price of coking coal in international trade is often benchmarked against Premium Hard Coking Coal (PCC), a high-quality coal used to produce metallurgical coke.

In 2023, steel mills reduced production due to thin margins, thus reducing coking coal demand.

Price Outlook: Coking coal prices are on a correction trajectory as supply-side in Australia to witness some alleviation with mine expansions and new approvals, while demand-side sentiments remain steady with India being the major influencer.

India’s energy requirements India aspires to be a developed country by 2047, when it celebrates its 100th year of Independence. This includes achieving high per capita income with improved living standards, independence from want of basic amenities, eliminating energy poverty, ensuring self-reliance and jobs for the working-age population. A rising population combined with the twin forces of urbanization and industrialization underpins growth in energy demand. Further, driven by the imperatives of self-sufficiency and ensuring resilience to external shocks, India’s growth, development and rise in consumption demand may soon be led by manufacturing.

According to estimates by BP (2025) Statistical Review of World Energy, global energy consumption rose at a CAGR of 1.6% between 2010 and 2024 (from 506 exajoule or EJ to 635 EJ). The country-wise share of energy

consumption with major economies are as shown below:

Source: BP (2024) Statistical Review of World Energy, Crisil Intelligence, CY- Calendar Year Coal’s dominance in India’s energy and power sectors The growth in coal consumption parallels India's economic expansion over the past decade. The increased demand for energy, particularly from coal, highlights the country's industrial and infrastructural growth. As of 2024, India accounted for 14% of global coal consumption, standing as the second-largest consumer after China (which dominates with a 56% share). In terms of absolute figures, India's coal consumption, measured in EJ, has risen significantly. In 2013, India's coal consumption stood at 14.4 EJ. By 2024, this figure escalated to 23.0 EJ, underscoring a substantial increase in energy demand within the country.

Correlation of Steel sector with GDP growth The demand growth of steel and GDP growth is highly correlated, with both following a similar trend since

201834. When real GDP growth is high, steel demand growth tends to be high as well. The steel demand growth rate experienced a down cycle from CY19 to CY20, with a decline of -1.6% and -5.1%, respectively, due to the pandemic. The steel demand growth rate has been in an cyclical since CY21, with growth rates of 16.2%, 5.7%, and 12.2% in CY21, CY22, and CY23, respectively.

Source: Crisil Intelligence, IMF Indian coal market overview and assessment Coal market structure India’s energy landscape also heavily depends on the fossil fuel, with the country consuming about 13% of the world’s coal. Coal-based thermal power plants continue to dominate electricity generation in India, accounting for approximately 73% in Fiscal 202436.

The India coal industry is highly fragmented with a presence of few large players and several medium and small players. CIL (313 operating mines) and Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL; 40 operating mines) dominates the coal production in the country with production by other captive and commercial players. In Fiscal 2025, the combined coal supply of CIL (74%) and SCCL (7%) accounted for approximately 81% of the total domestic coal supply by volume (CIL- 781 MMT, SCCL- 69 MMT), with the remaining 19% supply (198 MMT) met via captive /other commercial blocks.

The following figure maps key agencies and players involved in the Indian coal market:

Demand of coal Coal is a useful source of energy not only for the power sector (utilities and CPPs) but also for others such as steel, direct reduced iron (DRI), sponge, cement and bricks. The power sector comprising power utilities and captive power plants (CPPs) accounted for approximately 70% of coal consumption in Fiscal 202437 and, thus, is central to the outlook for coal in the country.

During demand estimation, coal with levelized grade of G10 has been considered. It may be noted that the actual demand for raw coal will be higher as the average produced grade of coal is G11 and going forward the grade is expected to further reduce. Only non-coking coal has been levelized in this case and coking coal has been considered at actuals. The growth in coal demand will likely continue till Fiscal 2035.

Source: Crisil Intelligence; All years are Fiscal years; P: Projected; Note: demand for coal is based on the G10 grade of coal for Power and CPP sectors

The demand of coal is dynamic and is driven by different factors such as: power utilities demand increase, expansion of thermal power capacity; capital investments in steel, aluminium and cement due to infrastructure focus by the government. However, Coal will continue to play a major role in the India’s energy sector at least for the next few years.

Supply of coal On the supply side, a duopoly structure is present in India with two supply sources, namely domestic and imported coal sources. The total raw coal production in India in Fiscal 2025 was 1048 MMT from different sources with 5% increase from 997 MMT in Fiscal 2024. The production in Fiscal 2015 was 556 MMT, showing a 10-year CAGR growth of approximately 6.5% from Fiscal 2015 to 2025. While non-coking coal used for power generation as well as in the industrial sector constitutes the largest share, the consumption of coking coal

has been increasing over the years with rising steel production:

1. Non-coking coal accounts for approximately 94% of India’s coal production in Fiscal 2025.

2. Coking coal accounts for approximately 6% of total coal production, and it is used in steel making in the blast furnace - blast oxygen furnace route.

Source: Crisil Intelligence; Year is Fiscal year; Coal supply levelized at G10 grade; P: Projected The coal demand supply situation is quite dynamic in nature with following factors affecting the surplus supply of coal in India by 2030.

Factors favouring deficit to continue beyond Fiscal 202938 • Surrender of high-premium blocks by developers, considering surplus supply and low premiums in linkage auction from CIL. • Efforts by the government / technology improvements for coking-coal washery will affect the supply of coking coal for thermal.

• Delay in the development of bigger blocks (capacity of 10 MMTPA and more) may disturb the demand- supply balance. • After Fiscal 2030, many of the mines of NCL and SCCL may be exhausted; further, CIL may also close its high cost/ high SR mines considering low recovery of cost.

Factors favouring surplus before Fiscal 202939 • Thermal-coal demand from coastal-based TPPs will continue to be import-dependent (approximately 18,000 MW capacity). • Cement-based companies will continue to import coal due to higher quality requirements.

• Washery-grade coking-coal production being used for thermal / blending purpose shall be approximately 60-80 MT. • Fast-track of clearances for blocks can start the blocks before scheduled consideration.

Historical coal imports trends Domestic supply sources are not able to sufficiently cater to the overall demand for coal in India. As a result, India is the second largest importer of coal, accounting for about 18% of global non-coking coal imports. In Fiscal 2025, India imported approximately 244 MMT of coal. Coal is imported by both power and non-power sectors in India. There are some power plants in the coastal regions with approximately 18,000 MW cumulative capacity that cannot use domestic coal and thus are dependent on imported coal for blending purposes.

Domestic coal production meets approximately 76% of the country’s requirements, while approximately 24% coal is imported every year (on average from 2020 to 2024).

Coal logistics industry overview Overview of India’s coal logistics industry Infrastructure is a vital cog in sustaining India’s economic growth trajectory. In recent years, the government has taken several steps to accelerate infrastructure development, with focus on transportation, energy, smart cities, water, and social and digital infrastructure. The government has also made efforts to attract foreign investors through policy reforms.

In Union Budget 2024-25, the government outlined capital expenditure of Rs 11.11 trillion, i.e. equivalent to

3.4% of the GDP, towards the sector. This is an increase of 11.1% from the Rs 10.0 trillion earmarked in Union Budget 2023-24 and approximately 17% higher compared with actual expenditure of Rs 9.48 trillion in Fiscal

2024.

Within the infrastructure space, logistics is a vital component, playing a crucial role in the movement of goods and materials. The importance of logistics can be gauged from the nearly 50% of the budgetary allocation for 182Fiscal 2025 towards the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (Rs 2.78 trillion) and the Minister of Railways (Rs 2.56 trillion). And for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, the Centre has allocated Rs 0.28 trillion40.

To be sure, India's logistics sector has been undergoing a transformative phase, driven by technological advancements, government initiatives, and increasing demands of a burgeoning consumer base. Consequently, the sector is projected to grow 8.8% annually to approximately Rs 40.7 trillion by 2029 from approximately Rs

26.7 trillion41 in 2024.

In fact, through several initiatives, the government has target to raise the country’s ranking in the Logistics Performance Index42 to 25 from the current 38.

As per analysis, the total modal-wise freight movement in tonne-km, roads contributed 63% share of the movement, followed rail (26%), coastal (5%) and pipeline (7%)43.

Mode-wise split of freight movement in tonne-km (Fiscal 2025P) Pipeline Coastal 7% 5% Railway 26% Road 62%

Source: Crisil Intelligence - Domestic freight transportation services - February 2025 Coal Logistics Coal is used in multiple industries, including power, CPP, steel, cement, sponge iron, bricks and paper. The coal logistic chain involves extraction of coal from the mine, which is loaded onto railway wagons, trucks or conveyor belts at the dispatch points. End-users such as steel, power and cement plants utilise the coal for production of required resource. In a few cases, coal is transported to washery plants to remove impurities or upgrade the coal to a higher calorific value and reduce ash.

Transportation of coal is dependent on coal demand, which is dependent on demand from the power and steel sectors, as well as sectors such as cement, bricks, etc.

The volume of coal dispatched in Fiscal 2025 (1025 MMT) by different modes was driven by rail (51%, 1517 MMT domestic coal), followed by road (30%, 300 MMT), MGR (13%, 132 MMT), belt (5%, 52 MMT) and others including rope *1%, 5 MMT) in Fiscal 2025.

1862. Rise in per capita consumption with increased electrification and deeper penetration of energy-intensive

appliances such as air conditioning systems: The per capita electricity consumption rose from 1010 kWh in Fiscal 2015 to 1,33146 kWh in the Fiscal 2023, clocking a CAGR of approximately 3.5%, owing to increased power availability, investments in the power sector, reduction in transmission and distribution losses and rising disposable income of households. Even so, the country’s per capita energy consumption lags developed economies. In fact, per capita consumption is far lower than the global average of approximately 3,70047 kWh. But, with consumption levels progressively converging towards those of higher income countries, demand for power will increase.

3. Growth in the manufacturing segment: Besides power generation, coal is also used directly in industry as fuel and as a reactant in the production of steel (coking coal). Sectors such as aluminium and cement, too, use large quantities of coal.

4. Infrastructure development: Coal finds application in the manufacture of steel and cement — two critical inputs for infrastructure development. Cement production in Fiscal 2023 stood at 375 MT, up from 328 MT in Fiscal 2019. Coal-based sponge-iron production also rose from approximately 28 MT to 36 MT during the period, logging a 4-year CAGR of 6.5% (from 2019 to 2023) and driving demand for non-coking coal.

Key threats and challenges

Some of the key threats and challenges in coal sector are:

1. Mining industry’s share decreasing in GVA: Gross Real GVA grew 6.4% in Fiscal 2025 compared with

8.6% in Fiscal 2024. The growth was mainly owing to a significant 9.4 % growth in construction in Fiscal 2025 (10.4% in Fiscal 2024). Overall, despite the growth, the contribution of the mining and quarrying sector in real GVA declined from 2.6% in Fiscal 2019 to 2.0 % in Fiscal 2025.

2. Capacity addition: With CIL increasing its production capacity (as per CIL’s 1 BT plan, it targets 1 BT (1,000 MT) of production by Fiscal 2027), more emphasis is placed on contract mining as there are internal constraints in departmental mining. Going ahead, the additional capacity is expected to be taken up by private players, but since the private contract mining business is highly staggered with limited players, taking up additional capacity by smaller players will be a challenge.

3. Approvals and processes for starting of mines: The allocation and operationalising of coal projects in India is subject to several processes and approvals. Coal projects require input from multiple agencies across various levels of government, reflecting the complex institutional structure. The government, too, has identified streamlining of processes for coal mines as one of its key priorities, and has undertaken structural reforms over the last few years such as incorporating a single-window clearance system and appointing third-party consultants. Nonetheless, coal projects continue to face challenges.

4. Land acquisition: Land acquisition is also a major challenge for operationalising coal projects in India. This is because large coal projects often involve acquisition of large swathes of land, including forest areas and scheduled areas.

5. Logistics issues: Logistics infrastructure is yet another major constraint in India. While demand for coal comes from across the country, production is concentrated in its eastern and central regions. As a result, domestically produced coal has to travel long distances to reach the demand centres. Logistics issues are further compounded by the lack of adequate rail infrastructure and high cost of coal transportation. The railways handle approximately 50% of the coal transported in India. Hence, challenges in the railway network have a direct bearing on coal transportation. Key issues include bottlenecks such as inadequate rail lines, shortage of railcars and line congestion. In India, dedicated coal freight corridors are not yet fully developed, and passenger services are given priority over freight.

Overview of the key end use segments of coal Power generation is the single-largest consumer of coal and is likely to be one of the major segments shaping the coal demand in future. In addition, industries such as steel and cement, which are key constituents of infrastructure development, are also highly dependent on coal.

Power (utilities) Growth in energy requirements has driven the Indian power (utilities) segment. As of March 2024, India has an installed capacity of 442 GW, comprising approximately 211 GW (48%) of thermal-based capacity, approximately 81 GW (19%) of solar capacity, approximately 46 GW (11%) of hydro-based generation capacity, 46 As per General Review 2024, Central Electricity Authority 47 General Electricity Review, May 2024 by Ember, Sandbag Climate Campaign CIC 187and approximately 8 GW (2%) of nuclear power plants. In the past decade, India has more than doubled its installed power generation capacity from approximately 199 GW in Fiscal 2012 to approximately 442 GW in Fiscal 2024. India’s installed capacity grew at 6% over Fiscals 2012-2024, while that for coal, gas and renewables increased at 8%, 4%, and 17%, respectively. This growth is driven through private sector participation in power generation and focus on renewable energy capacity addition to reduce emissions intensity of India. The expansion has been primarily driven by coal-fired power generation capacity, and more recently, renewable generation. Over the past decade, coal generation capacity increased by 135 GW, while renewable capacity (excluding large-scale hydro) increased by 64 GW. CIL plays a pivotal role in India’s energy generation with significantly contributing to the country’s industrial growth.

Source: Projections by Crisil Intelligence; Year is Fiscal year; P: Projected Coal’s share in India’s electricity generation is larger than that of the share of installed electricity capacity, given it tends to run at a higher utilisation rate compared with renewable generation. The share of coal-based generation is higher in the generation mix due to its lower plant load factor (PLF) of renewable energy, gas and hydro-based generation.

Power (captive) A captive power plant is one which is dedicated to one or more industrial unit(s). As far as group captive is concerned, the beneficiaries should hold at least 26% of the equity and together consume 51% of the power generated during the year. Though dedicated, it may also inject electricity into the grid. Several industries, specifically energy-intensive industries such as aluminium, steel, sponge iron, cement, etc., which require a huge supply of electricity, tend to rely on their own generation (captive and cogeneration) rather than on grid supply,

primarily for the reasons: 1) Non-availability of adequate grid supply 2) Poor quality and reliability of grid supply 3) High tariff because of heavy cross-subsidization.

The iron and steel industry’s share in capacity is about 29% of the total captive capacity, the share of aluminium sugar is 20% and the corresponding figures for cement, chemicals and sugar are 12%, 6%, and 6%, respectively.

However, in terms of generation, iron and steel and aluminium together constitute around 50% of the power generated by these captive units.

Source: Central Electricity Authority, Crisil Intelligence Source-wise, coal continues to be the key fuel source for the majority of CPPs, with a share of over 60% of the tracked capacity. This includes CPPs that use domestic coal, imported coal, and coal blended with washery rejects, pet coke and lignite. The abundance of fuel and the competitive capital cost of setting up large-scale coal-based CPPs are the two main reasons for their greater adoption. Diesel comes next with a 23% share in tracked capacity.

Over the years, captive power plants (CPPs) have emerged as an effective alternative for commercial and industrial consumers to fulfil their energy requirements and hedge against the possible consequences of high grid power tariffs. The captive/group captive power plants have a total capacity of about 80 GW in Fiscal 202448.

Considering, that India’s total installed capacity (excluding captive) is about 442 GW as of March 2024, the share of captive units is significant.

Source: Crisil Intelligence; Year is Fiscal year Importance of coal in the steel sector Coking coal is very critical input in steel production which is very important for industrial development of the country. Coking coal is used to produce coke, the primary source of carbon used in steelmaking. Coking coal differs from thermal coal, which is used for energy and heating, by its carbon content and its coking ability.

Majority of the country’s coking coal is being produced in Jharkhand. While the raw coking coal production in the country has registered a negative CAGR of 3.5% during Fiscal 2016 to Fiscal 2020, the production increased from 41 MMT in Fiscal 2019 to 67 MT in Fiscal 202, a CAGR growth of 10.3%. Out of the total coking coal produced, 100% is not used in the steel sector due to lower grade. In Fiscal 2024, out of total coking coal dispatch of 64 MMT only 7 MMT (11%) was sent to Direct Feed, 6 MMT (9%) was washed and the remaining 80% of the coking coal was sent to Power Plants, Cement, Fertilizers and Others. BCCL, being the largest coking coal producer in the country hold a significant market share and benefit from economies of scale, bolstered by the strategic significance of coking coal in steel production.

Projected India imports around 90% of coking coal requirement, which was 58 MMT in Fiscal 2025. As steel production rises in the country, the coal imports are likely to rise too. In Fiscal 2025, almost 43% of the coking coal in the country is imported from Australia, leaving India highly dependent on Australia for supply of a critical raw material to the steel industry and exposing the industry to price volatility vulnerability.

• Seaborne coking coal demand from India has always relied heavily on Australian exports • Driven by a push from the Indian government, steel mills diversified their raw material sourcing, for instance, Canada, USA and Mozambique in recent years. The latter through upstream investments into new mines.

Following actions have

been taken to improve the supply of domestic coking coal:

1. BCCL and CCL have offered a linkage auction of the raw coking coal for the steel sector. Tata Steel participated in the auction and got the linkage of 50,000 metric tons of raw coking coal from mines of CCL.

2. The Ministry of Coal has also taken an initiative to bundle setting up of washeries with linkage of coking coal. It has been envisaged that the agencies including steel industries, can set up greenfield washeries or revamp old washeries of BCCL, which will be provided linkage of coking coal.

3. Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has entered into a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BCCL to get washed coking coal from BCCL washeries. SAIL has signed MoU for getting 1.8 MT of washed coking coal from BCCL washeries. Other than that, limited washed coking coal is also available. Presently, 4 new coking coal washeries are under construction/commissioning by BCCL.

4. To raise the availability of domestically produced coking coal to steel manufacturers, the Ministry of Coal has auctioned 16 coking coal blocks so far, out of which 4 blocks were auctioned in the year Fiscal

2023. Out of these, JSW was allocated two coking coal blocks. JSW is planning to produce 1.54 MMTPA coking coal from the allocated blocks by 2027-28.

India is world’s second largest steel producer and consumer. With installed capacity of 179.5 MMTPA in Fiscal 2024 (production of 144 MT in Fiscal 24), India is poised for brownfield expansion of existing steel plants, backward integration of rerollers, forward integration of DRI or pig iron producers unfolding of a few greenfield projects, leading to a production of approximately 223 million tonnes by Fiscal 2030, a CAGR of 7.6%.

Domestic coking coal is high ash coal (mostly between 18% - 49%) and is not suitable for direct use in the blast furnace. Therefore, coking coal is washed to reduce the ash percentage and Indian Prime Coking Coal and Medium Coking Coal (<18% ash) is blended with imported coking coal (approximately 9% ash) before utilisation in the Coke Ovens to make Coke for feeding into the Blast Furnace.

It is expected to further grow to 138 MMT by Fiscal 2035 (CAGR of 7.51%). The rapid growth in coking coal demand underscores the steel sector’s role as a major driver of coal consumption in India. As India continues to build infrastructure and expand its industrial base, the demand for steel – and by extension, coking coal – is set to increase. This trend also highlights the difficulty in substituting coking coal in steel production, making it a critical focus area for future energy and industrial policy. The growth in these key sectors presents both opportunities and challenges. While the increasing demand for coal in captive power and coking coal supports industrial growth and energy security, it also raises concerns about environmental sustainability and carbon emissions. Balancing these competing priorities will require strategic investments in cleaner technologies, efficient resource management, and policies that support both industrial growth and environmental goals.

It may be noted here that Washery I-VI grade coking coal is required to be washed before utilization by the steel sector.

Source: Coal Directory, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 In India, as most of the coking coal is of low grade it cannot be directly used in steel sector and most of it is diverted to other sectors. Indian coking coal has high ash content and poor coking properties, thus, for efficient operation of Blast furnaces, Indian steel industry imports coking coal of good quality and blends it with inferior quality Indian coking coal.

Raw coking coal production in India during Fiscal 2024 was 67 MMT out of which 62 MMT was below W-II grade. Total raw coking coal fed into washeries was approximately 17 MMT from which 5.4 MMT of washed coking coal was produced. Out of the total washed coal produced, 3.2 MMT was used in coke ovens plants for blending purposes with imported coal. Thus, 3.2 MMT of domestic coal was blended with imported coking coal to produce coke during Fiscal 2024, while the total coking coal imports during that period was 58 MMT resulting in an average 6% domestic coking coal blending happening in India in Fiscal 2024.

196Probable demand for domestic washed coal in view of government focus on Import substitution The Ministry of Coal (MoC) has set a goal to produce 1150 MMT49 of domestic coal by Fiscal 2026 and 1500 MMT by Fiscal 203050 to advance the vision of Atma-Nirbhar Bharat ensuring India's energy security by substituting imported coal with domestic coal. In Fiscal 2025, India produced approximately 1048 MMT coal.

India’s import dependency is owing to various factors, including smaller and lower quality reserves of coking coal in India, less availability of high GCV coal, challenges in developing new coal mines related to land acquisition, delay on obtaining statutory clearance etc. and logistics constraints for evacuation. Domestic coal production has significantly increased from approximately 556 MMT in Fiscal 2015 to approximately 1048 MMT in Fiscal 2025, depicting a growth of approximately 88% in last ten years, so also the demand has significantly grown from 816 MMT to 1219 MMT in the last 10 years depicting a growth of 49%. However domestic coal production has been unable to meet the demand due to the above-mentioned challenges and desired quality of coal over the last decade. Hence this gap was met by imports. The Ministry of Coal, however, has taken several measures and efforts, to substitute coal imports.

approximately 60 MMT of annual imports continue to constitute import of coking coal due to lack of hard coking coal reserves in India, which can be utilized directly by steel mills in blast furnaces. India, despite having huge reserves of coal, has only a small part of it as coking coal, suitable for blast furnace operation. However, this coal is also characterized by relatively high ash content, low vitrinite, lower rank and inferior caking/coking properties. Therefore, under the present technology, they, at best, can be utilized as a blend to imported coking coals to some extent, and that too, after suitable washing. Due to the quality issue of Indian coking coal and also its limited availability in the country, Indian steel industries are highly dependent on low ash coking coal imports (on an average 85% and above).

According to “IMC Report on Augmentation and Consumption of Domestic Coking Coal by Steel Sector dated 16th July 2021” in order to achieve steelmaking capacity of 300 MTPA by Fiscal 2031 (as per National Steel Policy 2017), huge volumes of coking coal (approximately 161 MMT of coking coal at 14 % ash) would be required. Indian steel industry fulfils approximately 90% of its coking coal requirements through imports at present. Growth in steel production is expected to push up demand for metallurgical coking coal of India.

Consequently, the government’s initiative on Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Mission Coking Coal launched by Ministry of Coal in August 2021 wherein the projected demand for domestic washed coking coal is 40 MMT by Fiscal 2030 considering 25% blending with imported coal for steel making.

However, the implementation of stamp charging technology, as opposed to conventional top charging, across steel plants has the potential to reduce the percentage of hard coking coal in the blend and will facilitate usage of medium and semi- soft coal without impacting the coke. This enhances the blending ratio of Indian coking coal in the production of metallurgical coke. If this technology were to be adopted in all of India's steel plants, the blending of Indian coking coal could increase to around 35%, thereby necessitating approximately 56 MT of domestic washed coking coal. To meet this demand, it is estimated that around 170 MT of raw coking coal will need to be washed, which presents a substantial market opportunity for domestic coal producers and washeries.51 Coal Import Substitution Measures The Government has brought in a series of reforms and measures to address import substitution of coal. The critical points to be considered in import substitution are assured supply of quality and of quantity of coal by companies that will help in bridging the gap between the requirement and indigenous availability & to improve the quality.

For comparison, the last three completed financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024 all ended on 31st December has been considered Key observations Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), stands out as the market leader in coking coal production in India, boasting a competitive advantage due to its high-volume coking coal production of 38.9 MMT in Fiscal 2025 with a

58.50% domestic market share in coking coal and largest commercial coking coal washing capacity in the country. The company's financial health is robust, with growing revenue numbers and improving profit margins, positioning it for expansion and diversification into new domains.

BCCL has vast resources of coking coal and is the largest domestic producer of coking coal. In addition, the strategic location of BCCL mines in the Jharia coalfield, which is rich in prime coking coal, allows easy access 213to prime coking coal. The company has majority of coal resources within a radius of 40 km70. The majority reserves are primarily free from major geological disturbances. BCCL has a unique advantage of being the only source of prime coking coal in the country along with a favourable geographical location with good rail/road connectivity. In an industry where resource availability is a limiting factor, BCCL’s possession of extensive reserves enables BCCL in long term planning and strategic development.

BCCL has also identified few underground mines for reopening through MDO mode on a revenue sharing basis, out of which six mines with a cumulative capacity of 8.4 MTPA have been awarded for operation.

As a debt-free company, it has limited liabilities, providing substantial growth prospects. Looking ahead, BCCL is focused on expansion, adding washery capacity and monetizing old assets to fuel future growth. However, one challenge the company faces is the low per-tonne realization of its coking coal, primarily due to the lower grades of coal produced. BCCL has demonstrated its ability to adapt and implement new technologies, increasing production while ensuring the safety of its personnel. It has also introduced highwall mining technology in Fiscal

2024. BCCL uses its expertise in coal mining as a foundation to explore new opportunities in areas like Coal Bed Methane (CBM) and solar energy.

The rapidly growing economy and increasing demand for steel, is expected to push the demand for coking coal in upcoming years which presents an unexhaustive market to be catered by BCCL. According to National Steel Policy 2017, India aims to reach 300 MTPA of crude steel capacity by Fiscal 2031 from current crude steel capacity of 180 MMT71 in Fiscal 2024. The increasing production capacity of the steel and other allied industries in India present considerable growth and expansion opportunities for coal mining companies in India. Further, the production of prime coking coal shall reduce imports, promote Aatmanirbhar Bharat and help in saving foreign exchange.

Key threats and challenges Although BCCL positions itself as a leader in the coking coal industry, there are certain threats and challenges to BCCL which pose a concern for its growth. BCCL produces lower grade of coking coal which belongs to the washery grade and is unable to be utilized in the steel plants. The reserves of BCCL are deep seated and located in the densely populated district of Jharkhand which is a challenge and causes hindrance in mining activities.

The spontaneous heating of mines and continuous fire in the old underground working of Jharia poses a threat to the inhabitants and further lowers productivity. The lack of suitable technology to extract coal reserves from these areas is a major concern for BCCL, limiting its ability to tap into these valuable resources. The ongoing fires also result in significant economic losses and environmental degradation.

Additionally, India’s reaffirmed obligations under the Paris Agreement, the consensus outcomes of COP28, and the national net-zero emissions target for 2070 collectively signal an accelerated long-term reduction in coal consumption. Further, in furtherance of these commitments, the Government of India, state governments or regulatory agencies may, among other things, (i) impose or escalate carbon taxes, coal cess or linkage to future emissions-trading schemes, (ii) enforce more stringent air-quality, water-discharge and methane-emission standards, (iii) limit fresh mine allocations or restrict expansion of existing mines, (iv) mandate progressive integration of carbon-capture, utilization and storage technologies, or (v) strengthen liabilities for mine closure and post-closure restoration.

The company needs to address these threats and challenges and improve its efficiency to ramp-up production and contribute to the nation’s growth.

OVERVIEW We are the largest coking coal producer in India in Fiscal 2025 in terms of coking coal production, which accounted for 58.50% of the domestic coking coal production in Fiscal 2025. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 200) Our primary product is coking coal, with an estimated reserve of approximately 7,910 million tonnes, as of April 1, 2024, making us one of the largest coking coal reserve holder in India. (Source:

CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 200) We produce various grades of coking coal, non-coking coal and washed coals for applications primarily in the steel and power industries.

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coal India Limited (“CIL”) and were conferred with Mini Ratna status in

2014. We were incorporated in 1972 to mine and supply coking coal concentrated in mines located at Jharia, Jharkhand and Raniganj, West Bengal coalfields. We have expanded our operations significantly over the years, with our coal production increasing from 30.51 million tonnes in Fiscal 2022 to 40.50 million tonnes in Fiscal 2025, which is an increase of 32.74% over Fiscal 2022. Further, our coal production was 15.75 million tonnes in the six months period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to our coal production in six months period ended September 30, 2024, which was 19.09 million tonnes. In Fiscal 2024, we produced 39.11 million tonnes of coking coal and 1.99 million tonnes of non-coking coal, surpassing our previous records of coking coal production.

215Since Fiscal 2021, we have strategically increased our production by adding capacity through incorporating heavy earth-moving machinery (“HEMM”) as part of our operations. This approach has been effective, as our production trend has been upward since then, achieving a record high in Fiscal 2024. In Fiscal 2024, we surpassed our previous records of production to produce 39.11 million tonnes of raw coal, recording our highest coking coal production. This highest raw coking coal production in Fiscal 2024 was 10.96% higher than the previous peak recorded in Fiscal 2017. Over the past three Fiscals, we have maintained steady growth in our coking coal production, with a CAGR of 5.80% in Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2023. The following graph explains our

coking coal production and offtake trend for the last ten years:

We also recorded our highest raw coal offtake of 39.27 million tonne in Fiscal 2024, reflecting our commitment to operational growth and efficiency. Further, In Fiscal 2025, we achieved record overburden (“OB”) removal (or overlying rock mass to be removed to access coal seams in opencast mining) volumes while maintaining our second-highest coking coal production, just below the peak we reached in Fiscal 2024. We strategically conducted advance OB removal, deploying equipment to prepare coal seams for future extraction. This approach delivers multiple benefits such as ensuring coal availability for subsequent production periods, eliminating delays between stripping and extraction phases, and optimizing utilization of HEMM and other equipment.

We operate across a total leasehold area of 288.31 square kilometers, covering 252.88 square kilometers of the Jharia coalfield and covering 35.43 square kilometers of the Raniganj coalfield. Our operational portfolio includes

(i) opencast and underground mining projects, (ii) coal washeries; (iii) monetisation of old and idle coal washeries through the Washery Developer and Operator (“WDO”) route; and (iv) restoration of operations in discontinued underground mines through the Mine Developer and Operator (“MDO”) model. In addition, we monetize our solar power projects through a combination of self-consumption and grid injection.

As of September 30, 2025, we operate a network of 34 operational mines, including 4 underground mines, 26 opencast mines, and 4 mixed mines. Set forth below is certain information in relation to our coal production for the periods/years indicated:

STRATEGIES Below are the strategies in relation to our businesses, which have been approved by way of a board resolution passed by our Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 30, 2025.

Utilize our resources effectively to sustain and expand operations, driving growth and maximizing efficiency The increasing production capacity of the steel and other allied industries in India present considerable growth and expansion opportunities for coal mining companies in India. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 214) We intend to capitalize on such market opportunities by leveraging our resources to enhance our operational capacity, market presence and profitability through implementation of strategic initiatives focused on sustainable growth and increased production.

In order to capitalize on our vast resource base, we are undertaking significant technological advancements, including the procurement of high-capacity HEMM, implementation of mass production technologies such as longwall and continuous miner packages, and the introduction of highwall mining technology to access seemingly lost reserves. We are also in the process of transitioning legacy underground mines to opencast mines and implementing mass production underground mining techniques to harness deep-seated coal reserves. As part of our strategic shift, we have planned the reorganization of coal blocks in the Jharia coalfields into seven large-scale opencast mining blocks, designated as blocks A through G. This reorganisation has been planned with due consideration to critical surface features and essential infrastructure. We are aiming at identifying and continuously adding new producing patches by hiring the HEMMs. This approach provides quick enhancement of production capacity and replaces depleted reserves. We are also encouraging the conversion of overburden into valuable construction sand through the planned establishment of a sand extraction plant at our Damoda open cast coal project. This initiative not only optimizes resource utilization but also supports sustainable development by reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly practice Our strategic plan includes expanding washery operations, which will enable us to supply higher-grade coking coal. For details of our existing washeries, see “ Our Business – Strategies - Monetize, modernize, and renovate our washeries” and “Our Business – Our Business Operations – Reserve and resource base information – Washeries” on pages 227 and 231, respectively. We have three upcoming washeries with a total capacity of 7.00 million tonnes per year. Set forth below are details of our upcoming washeries:

6. Amlabad Colliery Dhanbad, Jharkhand 0.30 4.10% Under preparation stage to make it operational Our transformative ability to convert discontinued mines into profitable ventures through resource monetization, and strategic repurposing gives us a strategic, operational and financial advantage.

Additionally, as part of our strategic shift, we are in the process to increase our coal production by reorganization of coal blocks in Jharia coalfields. Considering important surface features like rivers, and surface infrastructures like rail, road, the Jharia coalfield is proposed to be reorganized into seven opencast blocks to facilitate extraction of coal and dousing of fire lying north of Dhanbad-Chandrapura railway line. This strategic approach is expected to drive an increase in our coal production by unblocking additional coal seams, helping in recovery of coal locked in barriers, thus enabling enhanced production capacities.

Monetize, modernize, and renovate our washeries In alignment with the National Steel Policy 2017, India has set a target of achieving 300 million tonnes of crude steel production by Fiscal 2031. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 214) This target implies a projected demand for coking coal of approximately 161 million by Fiscal 2031. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 197) The government’s initiative on Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Mission Coking Coal launched by Ministry of Coal in August 2021 wherein the projected demand for domestic washed coking coal is 40 MMT by fiscal 2030 considering 25% blending with imported coal for steel making. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 197) The implementation of stamp charging technology, as opposed to conventional top charging, across steel plants has the potential to enhance the blending ratio of Indian coking coal in the production of metallurgical coke. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 197) If this technology were to be adopted in all of India's steel plants, the blending of Indian coking coal could increase to around 35%, thereby necessitating approximately 56 million ton of domestic washed coking coal. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 197) To meet this demand, it is estimated that around 170 million tonnes of raw coking coal will need to be washed, which presents a substantial market opportunity for domestic coal producers and washeries. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 197) Recognizing this demand, we aim to expand and modernize our washery infrastructure. We aim to strategically monetize non-performing mines and old, less efficient coking coal washeries through the WDO model and private sector partnerships, ensuring long-term revenue generation without incurring operating costs and optimizing asset utilization. We are focusing on identifying new patches for production through contractual means, establishing new washeries under the build-operate-maintain model, and renovating existing washeries under the renovate- operate-maintain model.

Further, to enhance the supply of indigenous washed coking coal and reduce reliance on imports for the steel sector, we plan to increase the number and capacity of our washeries. This strategic initiative aims to bolster domestic production, ensuring a steady and reliable supply of high-quality washed coking coal. We have also 227significantly increased the sale of beneficiated and higher quality coal by modernizing and renovating aging washeries, commissioning new washeries with a combined capacity of 7.00 million tonnes per year, and monetizing old washeries to enhance operational efficiency. We have awarded the renovation contract for the 1.60 million tonnes per year Moonidih coal washery, which will enhance our existing washing capacity. In addition, we have onboarded a private player as washery developer cum operator to re-develop our old Dugdha washery under monetization scheme. it will add into a new revenue stream for our company and at the same time will help to increase the share of our coking coal into steel sector. These expansions in our washery operations are anticipated to enable the supply of higher-grade coking coal, thereby improving product quality and addressing the growing market demand. We are also currently in the process of developing and commissioning three new washeries with a combined capacity of 7.00 million tonnes per year. The table below sets forth certain details in

To align ourselves with our goal of balancing economic and sustainable viability, we are actively engaging with local communities to ensure that its mining activities respect cultural values while contributing to the collective economic well-being. We aim to balance economic viability with ecological preservation, promoting responsible mining practices that benefit both the environment and local populations. We have introduced solar plants and additional washeries to enhance energy efficiency and reduce reliance on traditional energy sources. These initiatives not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also improve overall operational performance.

We have also ventured into solar power projects to offset carbon emissions and utilize existing energy resources more efficiently, with the long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral. We have undertaken rooftop and ground- mounted solar power projects, with several projects already commissioned and others in various stages of development. Additionally, we have planned and proposed the commissioning of additional solar power plants to enhance its renewable energy portfolio. We are also focusing on the development of eco-parks over degraded mined-out areas and overburden dumps, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development.

Leverage our resources in the Jharia coalfields to drive growth We aim to effectively leverage our vast coal resources in the Jharia coalfields. By optimising coal production and washing by maximizing yield, we aim to enhance our washing capacity to improve coal quality. We will modernize and expand our mines and washeries, ensuring they are equipped with advanced technologies to boost efficiency and environmental performance. The Revised Jharia Master Plan approved by Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, Government of India on June 25, 2025 will be implemented to manage fires through targeted measures and allocate necessary funds (funded through internal resources of CIL), while rehabilitating affected families with proper support and amenities. We also intend to shift critical infrastructure from unstable areas, ensuring coordination with relevant departments. We believe that by engaging stakeholders transparently, we will be able to build community trust and ensure active participation in rehabilitation efforts. Sustainable practices and advanced technologies are being adopted to promote eco-friendly operations and data-driven decision-making.

We are aligning with national policies and engaging with regulatory bodies, to streamline processes and meet 228projected coking coal demands. This comprehensive strategy will ensure sustainable production, efficient processing, and responsible rehabilitation, enhancing our operational efficiency and market position.

We believe that CBM projects offer substantial benefits for our operational longevity, including enhanced energy production, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and improved mine safety.

In aim to leverage our advanced technology available in the market and strategic partnerships to develop CBM projects. We have awarded a block in Jharia, Jharkhand to a private player on a revenue-sharing basis for commercial methane production from the coal seam through drainage. Additionally, we have also identified another block in Jharia for development of CBM, with our Board of Directors having approved the project feasibility report for the same. We aim to utilize the latest advancements in drilling and gas capture technologies to maximize methane recovery while minimizing environmental impact.

OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS Reserve and Resource Base Information Definition of the Key Terminologies in the Joint Ore Reserve Committee Code (“JORC Code”) (Source:

SRK Report) Coal Resources As per JORC Code, one of the critical qualifiers for the reporting of the “Coal Resource” include the coal deposit to have “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. There are three categories of Coal Resources, and with the increasing order of geological confidence these can be classified into Inferred, Indicated and Measured Coal Resources. Coal Resource is a realistic inventory of mineralization which, under assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, might, in whole or in part, become economically extractable.

Inferred Coal Resources An Inferred Coal Resource is that part of the total Coal Resource estimate for which quantity and quality can only be estimated with low levels of confidence. It should be expected that estimates reported in this confidence category are likely to change significantly with further exploration.

Indicated Coal Resources An Indicated Coal Resource is that part of the total Coal Resource for which quantity and quality can be estimated with reasonable levels of confidence and based on points of observation are sufficient for continuity to be assumed;

but are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or quality continuity.

Measured Coal Resources A Measured Coal Resource is that part of the total Coal Resource for which quantity and quality can be estimated with a high level of confidence based on points of observation spaced closely enough to confirm geological and/or quality continuity.

Coal Reserve As per JORC Code, a Coal Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured or Indicated Coal Resource.

Coal Reserve estimates include diluting materials and are adjusted for losses that may occur when the coal is mined. Coal Reserves are subdivided in order of increasing confidence into Probable Coal Reserves and Proved Coal Reserves.

Probable Coal Reserves A Probable Coal Reserve is the economically mineable part of an Indicated Coal Resource.

229Proved Coal Reserves A Proved Coal Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured Coal Resource.

Washeries As per the SRK Report, the following table sets forth a summary on our operating washeries as on September 30, 2025:

Name of the Washery Location Type Operable Capacity Operating Model (Million Tonnes Per Annum) Moonidih Dhanbad, Jharkhand Coking 0.80 Self Madhuband Dhanbad, Jharkhand Coking 1.25 Self Dahibari Dhanbad, Jharkhand Coking 1.60 Build-Operate-Maintain Patherdih-I Dhanbad, Jharkhand Coking 5.00 Build-Operate-Maintain Madhuband (NLW) Dhanbad, Jharkhand Coking 5.00 Build-Operate-Maintain Total 13.65 231Mining Rights and Acquisition of Land We have acquired 28,018.62 hectares of mining lease/rights pursuant to the Coking Coal Nationalization Act, 1972, the Coal Mines Nationalization Act, 1973, and the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act,

1957. These mining lease/rights were inherited from the erstwhile private coal companies and National Coal Development Corporation (“NCDC”). The mining rights acquired under the Nationalization Acts of 1972 and 1973 have been revalidated until March 31, 2050, in accordance with Rule 3(2) of the Mine Concession

(Amendment) Rules, 2021, through the Coal India (Regulation of Transfer and Validation) Act, 2000. The erstwhile NCDC had acquired mining lease/rights for the Moonidih and Sudamdih Mines under the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957. As this Act does not specify a period for the acquired mining lease/rights, the rights for the Moonidih and Sudamdih Mines remain valid. Additionally, we have acquired mining lease/rights over 812.33 hectares of land for the Kapooria Underground Project under the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957, as per Section 11 notification no. 1503(E) dated June 2, 2015.

Therefore, we hold total mining lease/rights mining lease and mining rights over 28,830.95 hectares of land.

Coking Coal Production Process We oversee the coking coal production process, which encompasses the following critical stages to ensure

efficient and effective operations:

Mine Planning We collaborate with the CMPDIL for activities in relation to mine planning and designing. This phase involves exploration, geological assessments, selection of mining methods, technology implementation, coal handling, washing, environmental management, infrastructure development, and evaluation of economic viability.

232Government Approvals We are required to obtain certain approvals from government authorities for undertaking mining activities such as environmental clearance, forest clearance, permissions under coal mines regulations, consent to establish and consent to operate from State Pollution Control Board(s), and relevant approvals from Coal Controller Organisation. We apply and obtain approvals, permits, licenses, clearances, consents and registrations at the appropriate stage.

Infrastructure Development

Land Acquisition: Majority of our coal mines were acquired under the Coking Coal Mines Nationalization Act 1972 the Coal Mines Nationalization Act 1973. A substantial portion of the land within our mining leasehold boundaries is our vested property. Some areas of land were previously acquired through the Land Acquisition Act of 1894. Additionally, we are purchasing certain tenancy lands that fall within the mining area and are located adjacent to our land, directly from the tenants, in accordance with the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.

Rehabilitation and resettlement: We follow the Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy of Coal India Limited, 2012 (“Coal India Limited R&R Policy, 2012”) to ensure comprehensive support for individuals and families displaced due to our coal mining projects. This policy provides adequate compensation to landowners affected by the acquisition of land for our projects. In addition to monetary compensation, we offer a range of benefits under the Coal India Limited R&R Policy, 2012, including compensation for homesteads, a one-time lump sum payment in lieu of an alternate house site, and subsistence allowance to eligible land losers. We are also committed to providing employment opportunities to land losers, offering one job for every two acres of land acquired or purchased, thereby ensuring their economic stability and social well-being.

Procurement of HEMM: We follow a systematic and competitive procurement tendering process for acquiring HEMMs such as Excavator, dumper, dozer, grader and loader. The machines are procured based on the mine specific requirements, including capacity, fuel efficiency and based on the life cycle cost analysis. Procurement is conducted from established and reliable sources to ensure a continuous supply of spare parts, which are utilized throughout the operational period. In our mines, where contractors are engaged for coal production and/or overburden removal, the contractors themselves deploy the necessary HEMMs.

Evacuation Infrastructure: We continuously develop and maintain evacuation infrastructure to ensure the efficient and timely dispatch of our coal to end users. This includes 18 railway sidings as of September 30, 2025, integrated with the main rail network for bulk transportation. Our coal handling and crushing plants (CHPs) are equipped with modern sizing capabilities, and we utilize high-capacity loading equipment to optimize logistics efficiency.

Additionally, we have supporting ancillary facilities, including automated weighbridges and dust suppression systems, to mitigate environmental impact and adhere to regulatory standards. This integrated infrastructure is designed to minimize bottlenecks, enhance throughput, and ensure reliable coal delivery while upholding operational safety and sustainability commitments. Furthermore, we have developed infrastructure to evacuate coal via road to serve both large and small customers. This includes separate entry and exit connections with main roads, along with supporting infrastructure such as weighbridges and dust suppression mechanisms.

Coal Extraction: We utilize two primary methods for coal extraction: • Open Cast Mining: This method involves the removal of overburden (soil and rock) to access coal seams. In the majority of our open-cast mines, we employ shovel and dumper technology, complemented by drilling and blasting, for the stripping of overburden and the excavation and transportation of coal. In one specific opencast mine, a dragline is utilized for overburden removal. Coal extracted from these mines is transported to dispatch points, our coal preparation and handling plants, or our coal beneficiation facilities via dumpers, trucks, or conveyors.

• Underground Mining: Utilized for coal seams located deep below the earth's surface, this method includes conventional board and pillar techniques, as well as advanced methods such as longwall mining, continuous miner operations, and highwall mining, all aimed at enhancing efficiency and productivity.

Coal Conveying: To ensure efficient transportation of coal from mining sites to dispatch areas, we utilize: • Railway Wagons: A common and efficient method for transporting large quantities of coal over long distances, with coal loaded onto wagons using loaders.

233• Road Transport: Essential for short to medium distances within the coal supply chain • Conveyor Belts: Designed to handle large volumes of coal, minimizing manual handling and transporting coal from depots to washeries.

Coal Processing: Run-of-mine coal is crushed to the desired size using crushers. Additionally, coal is washed to remove impurities, thereby upgrading low-quality coal to higher quality standards.

These processes collectively ensure that we maintain high standards of operational efficiency and productivity in our coal production activities.

Operational area of Pure Benedih colliery (Source: SRK Report) Mine workings of ABG colliery worked departmentally (Source: SRK Report) 234Modes of Production We employ three distinct methods to execute coal production while maintaining operational efficiency and cost

optimization: • Departmental Production: We conduct mining operations entirely through our own workforce, equipment, and management systems. This approach provides us with complete control over all activities, from mine planning to coal dispatch, ensuring strict adherence to our quality, safety, and environmental standards.

• Hired HEMM patches: We enhance flexibility by contracting specialized equipment and operators for specific tasks in designated mine patches, while retaining departmental oversight of critical functions. Our teams maintain direct control over mine planning, blasting, quality assurance, safety protocols, and logistics, ensuring operational control even when utilizing third-party resources.

• MDO model: For select projects, we collaborate with expert mining partners who assume full planning and operational responsibility under our supervision. This allows us to leverage external expertise while focusing on strategic oversight, production targets, and compliance monitoring.

Across all methods, we ensure seamless integration of operations, with our core management team maintaining control over key decision-making processes. This structured approach enables us to balance efficiency, cost- effectiveness, and operational control while reliably meeting production targets.

Hence, revenue from washeries has also been added in the above table.

Coking Coal Washing Process 235We wash the majority of our coking coal to meet the requirements of the steel industry. This process involves the removal of impurities such as ash through water-based and mechanical techniques, thereby improving the coal's quality and reducing its environmental impact when burned. The coal beneficiation process commences with the size reduction of Run-of-Mine (“ROM”) coal using a multi-stage crushing system, which includes primary, secondary, and tertiary crushers such as gyratory crushers, rotary breakers, and roll crushers. This step reduces the coal to manageable sizes and liberates the combustible material from impurities. Subsequently, the material undergoes screening for size classification to optimize processing in downstream units. Intermediate-sized coal is processed through dense medium cyclones, while fines are treated with froth flotation. The specific technique is selected based on the coal's washability characteristics. The process also features an efficient dewatering system, where water is recovered through screens, thickeners, and filtration equipment for reuse. The beneficiation process yields high-quality washed coking coal for the steel sector, washed power coal for energy generation, and other by-products, including rejects and slurry. We ensure optimal resource utilization across all output streams as our washed coking coal products is transported to our steel sector customers via rail, our by-products are sold through e-auction, and slurry and rejects generate revenue as they are used as fuel for Fluidized Bed Combustion (“FBC”) boilers, brick kilns and briquette (domestic fuel) production. This sophisticated process enables us to deliver superior quality products while maintaining operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Details of our coal bed methane projects

and our solar power projects are as follows:

CBM projects Methane is inherently associated with coal as a byproduct of the coal formation process. It is trapped within coal beds and is released during and after mining activities. If effectively recovered, CBM associated with coal reserves and emitted during coal mining operations could serve as a significant potential source of energy. To harness this opportunity, we have identified two blocks in our Jharia coalfield for the exploration of CBM:

• Jharia CBM Block I: This block encompasses an area of 26.55 square kilometers and contains gas reserves estimated at 25,000 million cubic meters (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 200). It is currently in the exploration phase, and the development work for this block has been awarded on a revenue- sharing basis. We have identified the vendor and the customer in relation to the same, and while a formal agreement has been entered into with the vendor, we have not signed any agreement with prospective customers. The block is anticipated to commence production by the fiscal year 2028.

• Jharia CBM Block II: The pre-feasibility report for this block was approved on October 19, 2024, and the model tender document is being prepared by CMPDIL.

These initiatives underscore our commitment to harnessing CBM as a viable energy source, contributing to our sustainable energy goals.

Solar Power Projects With a keen focus on sustainable development and reducing dependency on conventional source of energy, we have been successful in installing roof top and ground mounted solar projects in different locations within our command area. As of September 30, 2025, we have installed and commissioned 26.97 MW solar power plant including 6.97 MWp roof top projects and 20 MW Ground mounted projects at different locations. The installed solar plants have generated 1,30,41,271.90 kWh of energy which led to 1,04,33,017.52 kg carbon dioxide reduction in the six months period ended September 30, 2025. These initiatives underscore our commitment to promoting renewable energy and achieving our sustainability goals.

Our rooftop solar power plants generate energy that is directly utilized for our own consumption, reducing our reliance on conventional energy sources and lowering operational costs. For our ground-mounted solar power plants, the generated energy is injected into the grid, and the corresponding energy credits are adjusted in our electricity bills, resulting in cost savings. This approach not only supports our sustainability goals but also enhances our financial performance by optimizing energy usage and reducing carbon emissions.

Utilities We purchase various materials and other supplies required for our operations, including high speed diesel, explosives, tires, wire rope and safety materials. We incur significant expenditure on diesel fuel, explosives and tires. Procurement is carried out through tenders. High speed diesel is primarily used for the operation of major equipment for coal mining and processing operations and represents a significant portion of our operating expenditure. We source high speed fuel from several public sector oil companies. We require electricity for our mining operations for the operation of various equipment and facilities and for lighting of our facilities and offices.

We source electricity primarily from the electricity power plant.

Our commitment to quality and timely delivery ensures that we meet the specific needs of each sector, contributing to their operational efficiency and productivity. By maintaining strong relationships with our customers and continuously improving our supply chain logistics, we strive to provide reliable and high-quality coal products that support the growth and sustainability of these industries.

Equipment and Machinery Infrastructure As of September 30, 2025, we own and maintain a robust fleet of 507 vehicles, which includes HEMMs such as 1 dragline, 65 shovels, 278 dumpers, 89 dozers, and 74 drills for opencast mining. Additionally, we also own 38 side discharge loaders, 1 longwall package, 2 road headers, 3 miner bolter for underground mining. Mechanization plays a pivotal role in our underground mines, and we are transitioning from medium-level technology like side discharge loaders to mass production technology, including longwall and continuous miner technology:

• Longwall technology: Currently, production from the longwall face is ongoing at the Moonidih mine, where we achieved a production of 0.13 million tonnes in six months period ended September 30, 2025. Longwall technology is also being implemented at the Muraidih underground mines, utilizing bolter miners along with feeder breakers and shuttle cars for the development of such longwall panels.

• Highwall technology : We have recently initiated production at our Block-II amalgamated open-cast project, utilizing highwall mining technology for the first time. This method allows for the extraction of coal from exposed coal seam faces in open-pit mines using a remote-controlled cutting-head miner. Highwall mining provides several benefits, including cost-effective recovery of previously inaccessible coal reserves, enhanced safety by reducing underground labor, and a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional mining techniques. The system employs highwall miner units, auger systems, and conveyor belts to efficiently transport mined coal, making it an effective solution for recovering coal from steep highwalls or abandoned surface mines. Additionally, we have signed an agreement for another highwall mining project at Rajapur OCP of Bastacolla on November 21, 2023, which will be operationalized soon. In six months period ended September 30, 2025, we produced 0.15 million tonnes of coal using highwall technology.

245We have also introduced the Ferrit monorail system, which has been operational at Moonidih mine since 2017 and is the first of its kind in an Indian mine. It enhances productivity by reducing workforce travel time between entry points and underground working face, thereby increasing productive hours and minimizing fatigue-related risks. The system also facilitates faster and easier material transport with minimal labour. In emergencies, it enables rapid evacuation of injured personnel to the surface for prompt treatment.

These advancements underscore our commitment to leveraging sophisticated technology to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability in our mining operations.

Environmental Initiatives We are committed to fostering environmental sustainability and ensuring the well-being of our planet. Our initiatives encompass a comprehensive approach to environmental management, reflecting our dedication to preserving natural resources and promoting ecological balance. We collaborate with CMPDIL to prepare Environment Impact Assessment - Environmental Management Plan reports, which evaluate the impacts on air, water, and land, and implement robust mitigation measures. We have also engaged with reputed institutions for sourcing apportionment studies of ambient air particulate matter in the Jharia coalfield region, aiming to identify pollution sources and their contributions. Routine environmental monitoring is performed by CMPDIL, ensuring that air, water, and noise parameters are meticulously tracked. We manage water pollution through oil and grease traps and have installed a water treatment plant in collaboration with an institution in Dhanbad, to ensure potable water quality. Our rainwater harvesting structures and piezometers for groundwater monitoring further underscore our commitment to sustainable water management.

Additionally, we undertake ecological restoration and afforestation on degraded lands, transforming them into lush green spaces. Our eco-parks, such as Vrindavan Eco Park, Parasnath Udyaan, Govardhan Eco-park, and Panchvati Eco-park connect us with local communities and promote environmental awareness. Through our newsletter "Paryavaran Darpan" and eco-mining tourism initiatives, we disseminate valuable information and showcase our efforts in environmental protection. Furthermore, we operate 38 e-vehicles as of September 30, 2025, to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to energy conservation.

246We have further accelerated our transition towards energy-efficient technologies to reduce energy consumption, emissions, and environmental impact. We have procured energy-efficient appliances, including LED lights (, BLDC fans, energy-efficient air conditioners, energy-efficient motors), and capacitor banks. These measures are expected to result in reduced energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved resource efficiency, and support for climate targets. To monitor air pollution, we have installed 40 online PM10 analyzers covering all mines and railway sidings, generating real-time values. We are also in the process of procuring continuous ambient air quality monitoring systems equipped with specific analyzers for measuring particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2) to monitor other parameters and implement effective air pollution control measures based on real-time monitoring. The procurement of 10 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System units has been initiated. Under Mission GREEN, we are transforming coal mining regions into sustainable ecosystems through environmental restoration, renewable energy deployment, sustainable livelihoods, and socio-economic upliftment. Our activities include afforestation, development of eco-parks, mine water management, promotion of renewable energy sources, rejuvenation of traditional water bodies, adoption of new technologies like coal gasification and clean coal technologies, Mission GREEN also focuses on the welfare and development of local communities through educational and skill development programs, healthcare programs, and livelihood opportunities via self-help groups for various socio-economic activities.

252KEY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES The following description is an overview of certain laws and regulations in India, which are relevant to our Company, as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. The information in this section has been obtained from various legislations, including rules, regulations and policies promulgated by regulatory and statutory bodies, which are available in the public domain. The description of laws, regulations and policies set out below is not exhaustive and is only intended to provide general information to investors and is neither designed nor intended to be a substitute for professional legal advice. The statements below are based on the current provisions of Indian law and the judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial decisions.

Laws in relation to our business We are governed by the following legislations in respect of acquisition of land, mining rights of the coal

mines and the conduct of coal mining operations in India: • Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act, 1973, as amended, (“Coal Nationalization Act”); • Coking Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act, 1972, as amended, (“Coking Coal Nationalization Act”);

• Coal Mines (Taking Over of Management) Act, 1973, as amended, (“Coal Mines Takeover Act”): • Coking Coal Mines (Emergency Provision) Act, 1971 as amended, (“CCME Act”); • The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (the “Land Acquisition Act”);

• Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957, as amended, (“CBA Act”); • Coal India (Regulation of Transfers and Validation) Act, 2000, as amended, (“Coal Mines Transfer and Validation Act”);

• Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, as amended, (“MMDR Act”); and • Coal Mines (Conservation and Development) Act, 1974, as amended (“Conservation and Development Act”).

Nationalization of Coal Mines The Coal Nationalization Act was enacted for the purposes of the acquisition and transfer of the right, title and interest of the owners in respect of coal mines. Under the Coal Nationalization Act, on and from May 1, 1973, the right, title and interest of the owners of coal mines were transferred to the Government of India and the Government of India is required to pay a specified amount for such transfer to the owner. The Coal Nationalization Act prohibits any person from carrying on coal mining operations in India, except for: (a) the Government of India or a Government Company including corporations owned, managed or controlled by the Government of India;

(b) a person to whom a sub-lease has been granted by the Government of India or such company or corporation mentioned in (a) above; or (c) a company which is engaged in the production of iron and steel, generation of power, washing of coal obtained from a mine, or such other end use as the Government of India may notify. Also, the Coal Nationalization Act provides the Government of India with an option of vesting in a Government Company the right, title and interest of an owner of a coal mine by passing an order in writing. Where the Government of India passes an order in writing for vesting of such coal mines in the Government Company, such Government Company is deemed to be the lessee. The general superintendence, direction, control and management of the affairs and business of a coal mines is vested in the Government of India or such other person appointed by the Government of India.

Further, the Coal Nationalization Act provides that all property vested in the Government of India or the Government Company, as the case may be, shall be free from any encumbrances including mortgages, charges, liens, etc. Any liability of the erstwhile owner that arose prior to May 1, 1973 could not be passed to the Government of India or a Government Company.

Pursuant to the Coal Nationalization Act, the Government of India notified the Coal Mines (Intimation Regarding Mortgage, Charges, Lien or Other Interests) Rules, 1974, under which every mortgagee of any property which has vested under the Coal Nationalization Act in the Government of India or a Government Company, and every person holding any charge, lien or other interest in relation to such a property was required to give an intimation of the same within 30 days from the date stipulated by the Government of India.

Pursuant to the Coal Nationalization Act, the Government of India notified the Coal Mines (Intimation Regarding Mortgage, Charges, Lien or Other Interests) Rules, 1974, under which every mortgagee of any property which 253has vested under the Coal Nationalization Act in the Government of India or a Government Company, and every person holding any charge, lien or other interest in relation to such a property was required to give an intimation of the same within 30 days from the date stipulated by the Government of India.

Acquisition of Coal Bearing Land Though the Coal Nationalization Act vested all the coal mines in the Government of India, acquisition of additional land where coal is likely to be obtained is governed by the CBA Act and the Land Acquisition Act, read with the MMDR Act.

Unlike the Land Acquisition Act which grants general power to the GoI to acquire land, the CBA Act specifically grants power to the Government of India to acquire coal bearing land by notifying in the Official Gazette such land, besides, empowering the Government of India to vest in the Government Company such rights in or over the land.

Further, a government company that has been vested with the right under the CBA Act would become the owner from the date of vesting of such right by the Government of India. However, where the rights under mining lease are acquired under the CBA Act, then from the date of such vesting, the acquirer is deemed to have become the lessee of the State Government.

Where the acquisition of land takes place under the Land Acquisition Act, the following procedure shall be

followed: • identification of land; • notification of land; • declaration of land; • acquisition of land; and • payment and ownership of land.

However, any person having an interest in such land has the right to object to such acquisition and has the right to receive compensation. The value of compensation for the property acquired depends on several factors, which, among other things, include the market value of the land and damage sustained by the person in terms of loss of profits. The land owner can raise objections in relation to the amount of compensation but cannot challenge the fact that any particular land is needed for a “public purpose” or for a company once a declaration to the same effect has been issued by the appropriate government.

National Mineral Policy, 2008 The Planning Commission had appointed a High Level Committee (“Hoda Committee”) in 2005 to make recommendations regarding the National Mineral Policy and the MMDR Act. National Mineral Policy, 2008 was notified, based on the Hoda Committee Report. The salient features of National Mineral Policy, 2008 are as

under:- • Development of capital market structures to attract risk investment into survey and prospecting. • Development of a proper inventory of resources and reserves, a mining tenement registry and a mineral atlas, on a priority basis.

• Enforcement of mining plans for adoption of proper mining methods and optimum utilization of minerals. • Designing of framework of sustainable development which takes care of bio diversity issues and special care to be taken to protect the interest of host and indigenous (tribal) populations through developing models of stakeholder interest based on international best practice.

• Devising of innovative structures for developing and financing the infrastructure needs of mining sector. • Provision of fair share of value of minerals to the mineral bearing states. • Financial and operational assistance to be provided to states to address the problem of illegal mining.

• Establishment of appropriate educational and training facilities for human resource development. • States to ensure with transparency, facilitation and regulation of exploration and mining activities of investors and entrepreneurs, and provision of infrastructure and tax collection, and • Arms’ length distance to be ensured between mining Public Sector Undertakings and regulatory arm of the state.

The Central Government in consultation with State Governments and other stakeholders, formulated Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation), Bill, 2010, to implement the National Mineral Policy, 2008.

254Coal Mines (Conservation and Development) Act, 1974 The Conservation and Development Act authorizes the Central Government to take measures for conservation of coal and development of coal mines. Under the Conservation and Development Act, the Government of India is also empowered to direct any person to take measures which may be necessary for conservation of coal and the development of coal mines, including stowing for safety, washing of coal with a view to beneficiating and reducing the ash-contents of coal. It lays down specific duties which the owner is mandated to carry out for the conservation of coal and the development of the coal mine. Further, the owner is required to pay excise and customs duty as specified. The provisions of the enactment requires Central Government to distribute a part of the collection of customs and excise duties to the owner of the coal mines, who are required to open a separate account. The funds to the credit of this account are required to be used by the owner of the coal mines to further the objects of the Conservation and Development Act.

Coal India (Regulation of Transfers and Validation) Act, 2000, as amended, (“Coal Mines Transfer and Validation Act”) The Coal Mines Transfer and Validation Act grants the Government of India the authority to transfer land, rights in and over land, or any right, title, or interest related to a coal mine, coking coal mine, or coke oven plant vested in our Company or a subsidiary incorporated under the Companies Act (hereinafter referred to as “Indian Subsidiaries”) to any other Indian Subsidiary. The transferee Indian Subsidiary shall be obligated to comply, or confirm compliance, with any terms and conditions that the Government of India may deem appropriate. Prior to the enactment of the Coal Mines Transfer and Validation Act, any Indian Subsidiary operating or controlling a coal mine, coking coal mine, or coke oven plant vested in our Company or an Indian Subsidiary is deemed to have been vested with the relevant land, rights, title, or interest by the Government of India, which retains the authority to retrospectively validate such transfers.

Coal Mines Regulations, 2017 The Coal Mines Regulations lay down the duties and the responsibilities of the owner, the workmen, the officials, the manufacturers, the contractors, looking after the working of the coal mines. It also includes the general requirements about mine plans and certain requirements regarding health and safety of workers.

The Colliery Control Order, 2000 In exercise of the powers conferred by the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 and the MMDR Act, the Government of India issued the Colliery Control Order, 2000, as amended, (“CC Order”) and the Colliery Control Rules, 2004, as amended, (“CC Rules”). Both the CC Order and the CC Rules empowers the Central Government to prescribe the criteria for categorization of coal and the Coal Controller for prescribing the procedure for the categorization of coal, inspection of collieries and quality surveillance, etc. The Coal Controller has also been empowered to issue directions to any colliery owner regulating disposal of stocks of coal, prohibiting or limiting the mining or production of any grade of coal and the requirement of prior permissions to open a coal mine.

The New Coal Distribution Policy, 2007 The MoC issued the New Coal Distribution Policy, 2007, as amended (“NCD Policy”) in order to regulate the distribution of coal. This policy removed the classification of consumers into consumers of the core and the noncore sectors and instead, stated that each sector consumers would be treated on merit keeping in view, inter alia, the regulatory provisions applicable thereto and other relevant factors. The NCD Policy also deals with the

(a) distribution and pricing of coal to different consumers or sectors like the defence sector, railways, power utilities, integrated steel plants, etc.; (b) exclusive distribution policy for the consumers in small and medium sector, replacement of the linkage system with enforceable Fuel Supply Agreements; and (c) laying down of policies for new consumers and a fresh scheme for e-auctioning of coal. The NCD Policy also lays down that discipline and economy should be maintained in the usage of coal since it is considered a scarce fuel. The policy requires our Company to undertake verification of consumers of erstwhile non-core sector consumers to check the veracity of their claim of being bonafide consumers of coal and empowers our Company to cancel the allocation of the consumers who are not found to be bonafide.

The Petroleum Act, 1934 (“Petroleum Act”), Petroleum Rules, 2002 (“Rules, 2002”) and Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (“PESO”) 255The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) has been serving the nation as a nodal agency for regulating safety of hazardous substances such as explosives, compressed gas and petroleum. It is an institution of excellence in matters related to safety in manufacturing/refining, storage, transportation, handling and use of hazardous substances for over a century.

PESO’s major work is to administer the responsibilities delegated under the Explosives Act, 1884 and Petroleum Act, 1934 and the rules made thereunder related to manufacture, import, export, transport, possession, sale and use of Explosives, Petroleum products and Compressed gases.

The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (the “Land Acquisition Act”) and the rules framed thereunder The Land Acquisition Act was promulgated to provide a humane, participative, transparent and informed process for land acquisition by the government for its or public sector undertakings or public purpose under the Constitution of India for the purpose of industrialization, development of essential infrastructure facilities and urbanization, and fair compensation to affected persons for their resettlement and rehabilitation. The Land Acquisition Act provides for the procedure for acquisition of land by the government, which includes, inter alia, the requirement of carrying out a social impact assessment. It contains provisions aimed at ensuring just and fair compensation to the affected families whose land has been acquired or is proposed to be acquired with least disturbance to the owners of the land.

The Explosives Act, 1884 (the “Explosives Act”) and the Explosives Rules, 2008 (the “Explosive Rules”) The Explosives Act is a comprehensive law which regulates by licensing for the manufacturing possession, sale, transportation, export and import of explosives. As per the definition of ‘explosives’ under the Explosives Act, any substance, whether a single chemical compound or a mixture of substances, whether solid or liquid or gaseous, used or manufactured with a view to produce a practical effect by explosion or pyrotechnic effect shall fall under the Explosives Act. The Central Government may, for any part of India, make rules consistent with this act to regulate or prohibit, except under and in accordance with the conditions of a license granted as provided by those rules, the manufacture, possession, use sale, transport, import and export of explosives, or any specified class of explosives. Extensive penalty provisions have been provided for manufacture, import or export, possession, usage, selling or transportation of explosives in contravention of the Explosives Act. In furtherance to the purpose of this Act, the Central Government has notified the Explosive Rules in order to regulate the manufacture, import, export, transport and possession for sale or use of explosives The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 (the “PLI Act”) and the Public Liability Insurance Rules, 1991(the “PLI Rules”) The PLI Act imposes liability on the owner or controller of hazardous substances for any damage arising out of an accident involving such hazardous substances. A list of hazardous substances covered by the legislation has been enumerated by the government by way of a notification. Under the PLI Act, the owner or handler is also required to take out an insurance policy insuring against liability. The PLI Act also provides for the establishment of the Environmental Relief Fund, which shall be utilized towards payment of relief granted under the Public Liability Act. The PLI Rules mandate the employer to contribute a sum equal to the premium paid on the insurance policies towards the Environmental Relief Fund.

Environmental laws Clearances under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, as amended, (“Environment Act”), the Forest Act, if any forest land is involved, and other environmental laws, such as, Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended, (“Air Act”), the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, as amended, (“Water Act”), and Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977, as amended, (“Water Cess Act”) are required before commencing the operations of the mines. Mining activity within a forest area is not permitted in contravention of the provisions of the Forest Act. The final clearance in respect of both forest and environment is given by the Government of India, through the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (“MoEFCC”). Environment Clearance and Forest Clearance applications are made on single window clearance system of MoEFCC i.e. PARIVESH. However, all forest clearance applications have to process through the respective State Governments who then recommend the application to the Government of India. The penalties for non-compliance range from closure or prohibition of mining activity in respect of the mines as well as the power 256to stop supply of energy, water or other service and monetary penalties on and imprisonment of the persons in charge of the conduct of the business of the company in accordance with the terms of the Environment Act and the Forest Act.

Environment Protection Act, 1986 (the “EP Act”) and the Environment Protection Rules, 1986 (the “EP Rules”) read with the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 (“EIA Notification”) The EP Act has been enacted with the objective of protection and improvement of the environment and for matters connected therewith. As per the EP Act, the Central Government has been given the power to take all such measures for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment and to prevent, control and abate environmental pollution. Further, the Central Government has been given the power to give directions in writing to any person or officer or any authority for any of the purposes of the EP Act, including the power to direct the closure, prohibition or regulation of any industry, operation, or process. The EP Rules prescribes the standards for emission or discharge of environmental pollutants from industries, operations, or processes, prohibitions and restrictions on the location of industries as well as prohibitions and restrictions on the handling of hazardous substances in different areas for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment and preventing and abating environmental pollution. Additionally, under the EIA Notification and its subsequent amendments, projects are required to mandatorily obtain environmental clearance from the concerned authorities depending on the spatial extent of potential impacts and potential impact on human health and natural and manmade resources.

Additionally, the Government of India issued another Notification No. S.O. 1533(E) dated September 14, 2006, as amended, (“2006 EIA Notification”), whereby, the earlier notification dated January 27, 1994 (including the amendments thereto) were superseded. The 2006 EIA Notification changed the entire procedure for granting of environmental clearances. According to the 2006 EIA Notification, all new projects, expansion of existing projects, product-mix activities and projects require prior environment clearance if they are listed in the schedule to the said notification. The projects and activities listed under ‘category A’ of the schedule require clearance from the regulatory authority constituted by the Central Government, whereas, the projects and activities listed under ‘Category B’ are required to obtain clearance from State Environment Impact Assessment Authority, (“SEIAA”).

The SEIAA will base its decision of granting prior environment clearance on the basis of the recommendations of the State Expert Appraisal Committee (“SEAC”) while the Central Government will grant prior environmental clearance for category A projects on the basis of the recommendations of the Expert Appraisal Committee (“EAC”) to be constituted as per this notification. If the SEIAA or the SEAC is not constituted in any state then the Category B project will be deemed to be Category A project.

The notification provides for four stages for prior environment clearance. However not all stages apply to all projects. The four stages are:

1. Screening: During this process the appraisal authority shall determine whether there is a requirement of Environment Impact Assessment Report to be submitted as per the guidelines given by the Central Government in this context.

2. Scoping: During this process the appraisal committee will determine the Terms of Reference (“TOR”) for each of the category (i.e. category A and B 1 projects). TOR will be conveyed to the applicant within 60 days of receipt of the application in prescribed format.

3. Public Consultancy and Public Hearing: This process involves obtaining and receiving objections and other concerns of local affected persons and others who have a stake in the project and its impact. Public Hearing should be conducted by the State Pollution Control Board or the Union Territory Pollution Control Committee within 45 days from the date of receiving the application from the project proponent to this effect.

4. Appraisal: SEAC or EAC accordingly shall consider the final Environment Impact Assessment report and the outcome of public consultation and other documents and make recommendations to the regulatory authority. They may recommend granting prior environmental clearance on stipulated terms and conditions or rejecting the applications recording the reasons for the same.

Further, as per the 2006 EIA notification, the management of the project which obtained prior environmental clearance shall submit to the regulatory authority compliance report every six months. All the compliance reports shall be public documents.

Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (the “Water Act”) 257The Water Act provides for the prevention and control of water pollution and the maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of water, and the establishment of the Central Pollution Control Board, as well as state pollution control boards (“State PCB”), to implement its provisions, including to lay down standards of treatment of sewage and trade effluents. The Water Act prohibits the use of any stream or well for the disposal of polluting matter, in violation of the standards set down by the State PCB. The Water Act also provides that the consent of the State PCB must be obtained prior to establishing any industry, operation or process, or opening of any new outlets, which are likely to discharge sewage effluent. The Water Act prescribes specific amounts of fine and terms of imprisonment for various contraventions.

Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (the “Air Act”) The Air Act provides for the prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. Under the Air Act, the State Government may, after consultation with the relevant state pollution control board declare, by notification in the Official Gazette, any area or areas within the state as air pollution control area or areas for the purposes of the Air Act. Pursuant to the provisions of the Air Act, any person establishing or operating any industrial plant within an air pollution control area, must obtain the consent of the relevant state pollution control board prior to establishing or operating such industrial plant. Further, no person operating any industrial plant in any air pollution control area shall discharge or permit or cause to be discharged the emission of any air pollutant in excess of the standards laid down by the state pollution control board. The Air Act prescribes specific amounts of fine and terms of imprisonment for various contraventions.

Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 (the “Hazardous Waste Rules”) The Hazardous Waste Rules regulate the management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste. Under the Hazardous Waste Rules, “hazardous waste” inter alia means any waste which by reason of characteristics such as physical, chemical, biological, reactive, toxic, flammable, explosive or corrosive, causes danger or is likely to cause danger to health or environment, whether alone or in contact with other wastes or substances. Every occupier of a facility generating hazardous waste must obtain authorization from the relevant state pollution control board.

Further, the occupier, importer or exporter, or operator of a disposal facility is liable for damages caused to the environment or third party resulting from the improper handling and management and disposal of hazardous waste and shall be liable to pay any financial penalty that may be levied by the respective state pollution control board for violation of the Hazardous Waste Rules.

Forest Act In case forest lands are involved, the mining lease can be executed only after obtaining the forest clearances as per the Forest Act. The Forest Act provides that no State Government or any other authority shall authorize, without the prior approval of the Central Government, that any forest land or any portion thereof may be used for any non-forest purpose where ‘non-forest’ purpose refers to the breaking up or clearing of any forest land or

portion thereof for: • the cultivation of tea, coffee, spices, rubber, palms, oil-bearing plants, horticultural crops or medicinal plants; or • any purpose other than reafforestation but does not include any work relating or ancillary to conservation, development and management of forests and wildlife.

Labour laws In order to rationalize and reform the existing labour laws in India, the Government of India has framed four labour codes, namely the (i) Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, (ii) Industrial Relations Code, 2020, (iii) Code on Wages, 2019, and (iv) the Code on Social Security, 2020 (collectively the “Labour Codes”). The Labour Codes were notified by the Central Government on November 21, 2025, subsuming the existing labour laws.

(i) The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (“OSHWC Code”) subsumes certain existing legislations, including the Factories Act, 1948, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, The Mines Act, 1952, and the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of 258Service) Act, 1979. This code provides for, among other things, standards for health, safety and working conditions for employees of establishments. The OSHWC Code broadly applies to an establishment where 10 or more workers are employed and include a place where any industry, trade, business, manufacturing or occupation is carried out, places undertaking motor transport, a newspaper establishment, an audio-video production, building and other construction work or plantations and applies to all establishments involving hazardous processes regardless of the threshold of workers. It also defines a “factory” to cover any premises which employees or had employed 20 or more workers on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in which a manufacturing process is carried on with the aid of power or, 40 or more workers on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in which a manufacturing process is carried on without the aid of power. The OSHWC Code also ensures that contract labour falls under safety and welfare protections provided by the establishment, and introduces the concept of core activity, restricting the scope of outsourcing of an establishment’s primary function while allowing contract labour for non-core services such as housekeeping or maintenance. It expands protection for inter-state migrant workers, covering those recruited directly or through contractors, and introduces entitlements such as journey allowances. The OSHWC Code also defines hazardous processes based on activities involving dangerous substances and mandates higher safety standards for such operations. The OSHWC Code also subsumes the Mines Act, 1952, consolidating all safety, health and welfare provisions relating to mining operations into a single unified framework, ensuring comprehensive coverage for mine workers.

Prior to the enactment of OSHWC Code, the Company was operating in accordance with the Mines Act, 1952, the Mine Rules, 1955 and Mine Rescue Rules, 1985. These rules shall remain in-effect till the time the Government of India and state governments enact further rules under the OSHWC Code.

(ii) The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (“IR Code”) subsumes three existing legislations, namely, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Trade Unions Act, 1926 and the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 and provides a unified framework governing trade unions, conditions of employment, layoffs, retrenchment, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The IR Code introduces certain uniform definitions such as ‘worker’ which has been expanded to include sales promotion employees, working journalists, and supervisory employees earning up to ₹18,000/- per month, thereby extending statutory labour protections to a wider segment of workers, ‘employee’ which includes managerial and supervisory personnel and employer which includes any person or authority with control over an establishment, including those employing through contractors. The IR Code establishes that an industrial establishment, employing 300 or more workers, shall require prior permission from the appropriate government authority, for lay-off, retrenchment, or closing down its industrial establishment, with flexibility for States to enhance this limit further. It also introduces fixed-term employment, granting such employees benefits similar to permanent workers including gratuity on a pro-rata basis.

(iii) The Code on Wages, 2019 The Code on Wages, 2019 (“COW”) subsumes four separate legislations, namely, the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976.

It provides a framework governing wage regulation, minimum wages, payment timelines, and bonus entitlements across sectors. The provisions related to wages apply to all employees in both organised as well as unorganised sectors, irrespective of wage threshold. The COW also introduces floor wages, which will be fixed by the Central Government on the basis of minimum living standards of an employee which will be revised at regular intervals.

It also directs the State governments to ensure that the minimum wages in their respective regions are not lower than the prescribed floor wage.

(iv) The Code on Social Security, 2020 The Code on Social Security, 2020 (“CSS”) subsumes several separate legislations including the Employee’s Compensation Act, 1923, the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948, the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959, the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, and the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. It provides a framework for social security of employees. CSS provides coverage of schemes such as employee provident fund, employee state insurance, maternity benefits, gratuity, employee compensation, and social-security funds to fixed-term employees, contract workers, inter-state migrant workers, and gig and platform workers through dedicated welfare funds. CSS also enables portability of benefits through Aadhaar-based registration and provides a framework for state and central governments to roll out social-security schemes for unorganised, gig, and platform workers.

259The Coking Coal Mines (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 An act to provide for the acquisitions and transfer of the right, title and interest of the owners of the coking coal mines as specified in schedule 1 of the act, and the right, title and interest of owners of such coke oven plants as are in or about the said coking coal mines with a view to reorganizing and reconstructing such mines and plants for the purpose of protecting, conserving and promoting scientific development of the iron and steel industry and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

The Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957.

An Act to establish in the economic interest of India greater public control over the coal mining industry and its development by providing for the acquisition by the State of unworked land containing or likely to contain coal deposits or of rights in or over such land, for the extinguishment or modification of such rights accruing by virtue of any agreement, lease, licence or otherwise, and for matters connected therewith.

Shops and establishments legislations Under the provisions of local shops and establishments legislations applicable in the states in India where our establishments are set up and business operations exist, such establishments are required to be registered. Such legislations regulate the working and employment conditions of the workers employed in shops and establishments, including commercial establishments, and provide for fixation of working hours, rest intervals, overtime, holidays, leave, termination of service, maintenance of records, maintenance of shops and establishments and other rights and obligations of the employers and employees. These shops and establishments’ acts, and the relevant rules framed thereunder, in each state, also prescribe penalties in the form of monetary fine or imprisonment for violation of provisions, as well as procedures for appeal in relation to such contravention of the provisions.

In addition to the Labour Codes and the local shops and establishments legislations, the employment of workers, depending on the nature of activity, is regulated by a wide variety of generally applicable labour laws. The various other labour and employment-related legislations (and rules issued thereunder) that may apply to our operations, from the perspective of protecting the workers’ rights and specifying registration, reporting and other compliances, and the requirements that may apply to us as an employer, would include the following:

• The Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986. • The Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965. • Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.

• Coal Mines Pension Scheme, 1988. • The Mines Vocational Training Rules, 1966. • The Mines Creche Rules, 1961. • Coal Mines Pithead Bath Rules, 1946. • Mineral Concession Rules, 2016. • Coal Mines Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions, Act 1948.

Taxation Laws Income Tax Act, 1961 (the “Income Tax Act”) The Income Tax Act governs the taxation of individuals, corporations, partnership firms, and other entities. In accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, the tax rates applicable to such entities are determined based on the income declared by them or assessed by the tax authorities, after considering the allowable deductions and exemptions under the Act. The Act mandates the maintenance of proper books of accounts, along with the requisite supporting documents and registers. Additionally, the filing of income tax returns is a compulsory obligation for all assesses.

Goods and Service Tax (“GST”) The Goods and Services Tax is a tax imposed on the supply of goods, services, or both, by the Central and State Governments. It was introduced through the Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2017 and is governed by the GST Council. GST is applicable to the supply of goods and services, with the Central Government 260levying tax on intra-state supplies, while State Governments and Union Territories with legislatures, as well as Union Territories without legislatures, impose their respective taxes. GST operates as a destination-based consumption tax, structured as a dual GST system wherein both the Central and State Governments concurrently levy taxes on a common base. The GST framework is implemented through various legislations, including the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ("CGST"), the State Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ("SGST"), the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ("UTGST"), the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ("IGST"), and the Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Act, 2017, along with the rules prescribed thereunder.

The Customs Act, 1962 (the “Customs Act”) The Customs Act governs the regulation of the import and export of goods in India, establishing procedures for the assessment, collection, and enforcement of customs duties and taxes.

Therefore, subject to the provisions of the CPSE Capital Restructuring Guidelines, the Articles of Association and the Companies Act, the declaration and payment of dividend is recommended by the Board and approved by the Shareholders. The dividend distribution policy of our Company was approved by our Board in its meeting held on May 27, 2025.

Further, the dividends, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to our earnings, guidelines issued by the Department of Public Enterprises, capital requirements and overall financial position of our Company. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be impacted by a number of factors, including the results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and restrictive covenants under the loan or financing arrangements we may enter into. For further details, see “Restated Financial Information” and “Financial Indebtedness” on pages 299 and 462, respectively. Our Company may also, from time to time, pay interim dividends.

Note: The Company could not pay equity dividend even after the application of the CPSE Capital Restructuring Guidelines because of the

following reasons: i. The Company was carrying accumulated losses in its financial statements till the year 2022-23 and for the first time wiped off the same and reported accumulated profit in 2023-24 for the first time.

ii. There were arrears of dividend on erstwhile 5% Non-Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares which was required to be paid before any dividend is paid to the equity shareholders of the company.

Additionally, the arrears of dividend on erstwhile 5% Non-Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of ₹444.33 million (out of the total arrears of ₹ 8,886.50 million) due to Coal India Limited was recommended by our Board and paid by our Company on August 05, 2024 pursuant to the approval of our Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on August 01, 2024. The TDS of ₹ 10.00 million was deducted thereon and the net amount was remitted to Coal India Limited through RTGS. The remaining arrears of dividend amounting to ₹ 8,442.17 million, was recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company in its 421st meeting held on April 23, 2025, and approved by the shareholders of the Company in the Annual General Meeting for the Financial Year 2024-25 held on July 25, 2025.

224.22 million was paid on July 28, 2025.

There is no guarantee that any dividends will be declared or paid or that the amount thereof will not decrease in the future. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on number of factors, including our profit after tax for the fiscal year, our capital requirements, our financial condition, our cash flows and applicable taxes 298SECTION V: FINANCIAL INFORMATION RESTATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (The remainder of this page has intentionally been left blank) 299Nag & Associates Head Office:

The amount of consideration does not contain a significant financing component as payment terms are less than one year as per the sales contracts.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimatedfuturecashreceiptsthroughtheexpectedlifeofthefinancialassettothatasset'snetcarryingamountoninitial recognition.

Dividends - Dividend is recognised when the company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

Subsequently, right-of-use asset is measured using cost model whereas, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carryingamounttoreflectinterestontheleaseliability,reducingthecarryingamounttoreflecttheleasepaymentsmade and re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments.

2.5.2 Company as a lessor Assets are given on lease either as finance lease or operating lease.

338Finance Lease: A lease is classified as finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Initially, asset held under finance lease is recognised in Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and presented as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Finance income is recognised over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on Company's net investment in the lease.

OperatingLease:Aleasewhichisnotclassifiedasafinanceleaseisanoperatinglease.TheCompanyrecogniseslease payments in case of assets given on operating leases as income on a straight line basis.

2.6 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies non-current assets and (or disposal groups) as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicatethatitisunlikelythatsignificantchangesto thesalewillbemadeorthatthedecision to sellwill bewithdrawn.

Management must be committed to the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.

For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met onlywhen the assets or disposalgroupisavailableforimmediatesaleinitspresentcondition,subjectonlytotermsthatareusualandcustomary forsalesofsuchassets(ordisposalgroups),itssaleishighlyprobable;anditwillgenuinelybesold,notabandoned.The

Company treats sale of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:  The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),  An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated  The asset(ordisposalgroup)isbeing activelymarketedforsaleatapricethatisreasonable in relationto itscurrent fair value,  The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and  Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikelythat significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current asset or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

2.7 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Depreciation AnitemofPPEisrecognizedasanassetifitisprobablethatfutureeconomicbenefitsassociatedwiththeitemwillflow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Further, a specific escrow fund account is maintained for this purpose as per the approved mine closure plan.

The progressive mine closure expenses incurred on year to year basis forming part of the total mine closure obligation are initially recognised as receivable from the escrow account and thereafter adjusted with the obligation in the year in which the amount is withdrawn after the concurrence of the certifying agency.

2.9 Exploration and Evaluation Assets Exploration and evaluation assets comprise costs that are attributable to the search for coal and related resources, pending the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource

which comprises inter alia the following:  acquisition of rights to explore  researching and analysing historical exploration data;  gathering exploration data through topographical, geo-chemical and geo-physical studies;

 exploratory drilling, trenching, and sampling;  determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource;  surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements;  Conducting market and finance studies.

The above includes employee remuneration, cost of materials and fuel used, payments to contractors etc.

341As the intangible component represents an insignificant/indistinguishable portion of the overall expected tangible costs to be incurred and recouped from future exploitation, these costs along with other capitalised exploration costs are recorded as exploration and evaluation assets.

Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised on a project-by-project basis pending the determination of technical feasibilityandcommercialviabilityoftheprojectanddisclosedasaseparatelineitemundernon-currentassets.Theyare subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment/provision.

Once proved reserves are determined and the development of mines/projects are sanctioned, exploration and evaluation assetsaretransferredto“Development” undercapitalworkin progress.However, ifproved reservesarenotdetermined, the exploration and evaluation asset is derecognised.

All subsequent development expenditure is also capitalised. The development expenditure capitalised is net of proceeds from the sale of coal extracted during the development phase.

Other Mining infrastructures are amortised from the year when the mine is brought under revenue in 20 years or the working life of the project whichever is less.

2.11 Intangible Assets and Amortisation Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost includes any directly attributable expensesnecessaryto maketheassetsreadyforitsintendeduse. Afterinitialrecognition,intangibleassetsarecarriedat cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits deriving from the cost incurred will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

342The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss. Amortisation of

intangible asset is provided on straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset as follows:

Intangible Assets Useful Life SAP/ERP : 6 Years

Other Computer Software : License period

Rail Corridor : Life as per MoU contract period An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each reporting date.

ExplorationandEvaluationassetsattributabletoblocksidentifiedforsaleorproposedtobesoldtooutsideagencies(i.e. for blocks not earmarked for CIL) are however, classified as Intangible Assets and tested for impairment.

2.13 Investment Property Property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of businesses are classified as an investment property.

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs.

Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

2.14 Financial Instruments 343A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

2.14.1 Financial assets

2.14.1 Initial recognition and measurement All financial assets arerecognised initiallyat fairvalue, in the caseof financialassets notrecorded atfair value through profit or loss, plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require deliveryof assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.

2.14.2 Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:  Debt instruments at amortised cost  Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)  Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)  Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

2.14.2.1 Debt instruments at amortised cost A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met: a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate(EIR)method. Amortised cost is calculated bytaking into account anydiscount orpremiumon acquisition and fees orcoststhatareanintegralpartoftheEIR.TheEIRamortisationisincludedinfinanceincomeintheprofitorloss.The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.

2.14.2.2 Debt instrument at FVTOCI A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met: a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and b) The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the P&L. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previouslyrecognised in OCIis reclassified from the equity to P&L.

Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

2.14.2.3 Debt instrument at FVTPL FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

344In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency(referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.14.2.4 Equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and Joint Ventures In accordance of Ind AS 101 (First time adoption of Ind AS), the carrying amount of these investments as per previous GAAP as on the date of transition is considered to be the deemed cost. Subsequently Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost.

In case of restated financial information, Equityinvestments in associates and joint venturesare accountedas perequity method as prescribed in para 10 of Ind AS 28.

2.14.2.5 Other Equity Investment All other equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fairvalue.The Companymakessuch electiononaninstrumentby-instrumentbasis.The classificationismadeon initial recognition and is irrevocable.

All fair value changes of an equity instrument classified at FVTOCI, are recognized in OCI. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Companymay transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends from such investments are recognised in the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss as “other income” when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.

2.14.2.6 Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities) when:

 The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or  The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to paythe received cash flows in full without material delayto a third partyunder a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a)the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case,theCompanyalsorecognisesan associatedliability.The transferredasset and the associatedliabilityaremeasured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

2.14.2.7 Impairment of financial assets (other than fair value) InaccordancewithIndAS109,theCompanyappliesexpectedcreditloss(ECL)modelformeasurementandrecognition

of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

345a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI c) Lease receivables under Ind AS 116 d) Trade receivables or anycontractualright to receive cashor anotherfinancial assetthat resultfromtransactionsthat are within the scope of Ind AS 115.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:  Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and  All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of Ind AS 116 TheapplicationofsimplifiedapproachdoesnotrequiretheCompanytotrackchangesincreditrisk.Rather,itrecognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

2.14.3 Financial liabilities

2.14.3.1 Initial recognition and measurement The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

Allfinancialliabilitiesarerecognised initiallyatfairvalueand,in thecaseofloansandborrowingsandpayables, netof directly attributable transaction costs.

2.14.3.2 Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

2.14.3.3 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financialliabilitiesatfairvaluethrough profitorlossincludefinancialliabilitiesheldfortradingand financialliabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financialinstrumentsenteredintobythe Companythatare notdesignated ashedging instrumentsin hedgerelationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.

2.14.3.4 Financial liabilities at amortised cost After initial recognition, these are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Gains and losses are recognised in restated statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as throughtheeffectiveinterestrateamortisation process. Amortised cost iscalculated bytaking intoaccount anydiscount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

2.14.3.5 Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liabilityis discharged or cancelled or expires. When anexistingfinancialliabilityisreplacedbyanotherfromthesamelenderonsubstantiallydifferentterms,orthetermsof an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the originalliabilityandtherecognitionofanewliability.Thedifferencebetweenthecarryingamountofafinancialliability

3462.14.4 Reclassification of financial assets The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equityinstruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets whicharedebtinstruments,areclassificationismadeonlyifthere isachangein thebusinessmodelformanagingthose assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company eitherbeginsorceasestoperformanactivitythatissignificanttoitsoperations.IfCompanyreclassifiesfinancialassets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reportingperiodfollowingthechangeinbusinessmodel.TheCompanydoesnotrestateanypreviouslyrecognisedgains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

The following table shows various reclassification and how they are accounted for Original classification Revised classification Accounting treatment Fair value is measured at reclassification Amortised cost FVTPL date. Difference between previous amortized cost and fair value is recognised in P&L.

Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous amortised Amortised cost FVTOCI cost and fair value is recognised in OCI. No change in EIR due to reclassification.

Fair value at reclassification date becomesits new amortised cost carrying amount.

However, cumulative gain or loss in OCI is FVTOCI Amortised cost adjustedagainst fairvalue. Consequently, the asset is measured as if it had always been measured at amortised cost.

Fair value at reclassification date becomesits FVTPL FVTOCI new carrying amount. No other adjustment is required.

Assets continue to be measured at fair value.

Cumulative gain or loss previously FVTOCI FVTPL recognized in OCI is reclassified to P&L at the reclassification date.

3472.14.6 Fair value measurement of financial instruments Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

TheCompanycategorizesassetsandliabilitiesmeasuredatfairvalueintooneofthreelevelsdepending ontheabilityto

observe inputs employed for such measurement:

(a) Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

(b)Level2:inputsotherthanquotedpricesincludedwithinlevel1thatareobservableeitherdirectlyorindirectlyforthe asset or liability.

(c) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements who regularly review significant unobservable inputs, valuation adjustments and fair value hierarchy under which the valuation should be classified.

2.14.7 Cash and Cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent in the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-termdepositswithanoriginalmaturityofthreemonthsorless,whicharesubjecttoaninsignificantriskofchanges in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

2.15 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are expensed as and when incurred except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, constructionorproductionofqualifyingassetsi.e.theassetsthatnecessarilytakessubstantialperiodoftimetogetready for its intended use, in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of related asset up to the date when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use.

2.16 Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for a period.

Taxable profit differs from “profit before income tax” as reported in the restated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensiveincomebecauseitexcludesitemsofincomeorexpensethataretaxableordeductibleinotheryearsandit furtherexcludesitemsthatarenevertaxableordeductible.TheCompany’sliabilityforcurrenttaxiscalculatedusingtax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available againstwhich thosedeductibletemporarydifferencescanbeutilised. Such assetsand liabilitiesarenotrecognised ifthe temporarydifference arisesfromgoodwillor fromthe initialrecognition (otherthan in a businesscombination) ofother assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

348Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporarydifferences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that thetemporarydifferencewillnotreverseintheforeseeablefuture.Deferredtaxassetsarisingfromdeductibletemporary differences associated with such investments and interests are onlyrecognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences.

Thecarrying amountofdeferredtaxassetsisreviewedattheend ofeachreportingperiod andreducedtotheextentthat it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at theend ofeach reportingyear and are recognisedto theextent thatit has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilityissettledortheassetisrealised,basedontaxrate(andtaxlaws)thathavebeenenactedorsubstantivelyenacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legallyenforceable right to offset current tax assets againstcurrenttaxliabilities,and when thedeferredincometax assetsand liabilitiesrelate toincometaxeslevied bythe same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.17 Employee Benefits

2.17.1 Short-term Benefits Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service.

All short-term employee benefits are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered by employees.

2.17.2 Post-employment benefits and other long term employee benefits

2.17.2.1 Defined contributions plans Adefinedcontributionplanisapost-employmentbenefitplanunderwhichtheCompanypaysafixedcontributionintoa fund maintained by a separate body and the Company will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the restated statement of profit and loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

2.17.2.2 Defined benefits plans 349A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligationinrespectofdefinedbenefitplansiscalculatedbyestimatingtheamountoffuturebenefitthatemployeeshave earnedin return oftheir servicein the current and prior periods.The benefitis discounted to determineits presentvalue and reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if any. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The application of actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about the discount rate, expected rates of return on assets, future salaryincreases, mortality rates etc. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject touncertainties.ThecalculationisperformedateachRestatedStatementofAssetsandLiabilitiesbyanactuaryusingthe projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in the benefit to the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reduction in futurecontributions to the plan.An economic benefit isavailable to the Companyif itis realisableduring thelife ofthe plan, or on settlement of plan liabilities.

Re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gain and losses consideringthe return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effects of the assets ceiling (if any, excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the other comprehensive income. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net definedbenefitliability(asset)fortheperiodbyapplyingthediscountrateusedtomeasurethedefinedbenefitobligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability(asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in restated statement of profit and loss.

When the benefits of the plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past servicebyemployeesis recognised as an expense immediately in the restated statement of profit and loss.

2.17.3 Other long-term employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits are all employee benefits other than short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefits.

Otherlong-termemployeebenefitsincludeitemswhicharenotexpectedtobesettledwhollybeforetwelvemonthsafter the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service.

For other long-term employee benefits, net total of the following amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss:

(a) Service cost

(b) Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)

(c) Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset)

2.18 Foreign Currency Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the reported currency of the Company using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies outstanding at the end of the reporting period are translated at the exchange rates prevailing as at the end of reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetaryassets and liabilities or on translating monetary assets and liabilities at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are valued at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions.

3502.19 Stripping Activity In case of opencast mining, the mine waste materials (“overburden”) which consists of soil and rock on the top of coal seamisrequiredtoberemovedtogetaccesstothecoalanditsextraction.Theprocessofremovingoverburdentoaccess coal is referred to as stripping. Stripping is necessary to obtain access to coal and occurs throughout the life of an opencast mine. Stripping costs during development and production phases are classified in property, plant, and equipment. Stripping costs are accounted for separately for individual mines.

The company accounts for stripping activities as follows:

Stripping costs during the Development phase - These are initial overburden removal costs incurred to obtain access to coal to be extracted. These costs are capitalised whenitisprobablethatfutureeconomic benefitswillflowto thecompanyandcostscanbemeasuredreliably.Oncethe production phase begins, capitalised development stripping costs are amortised over the mine life.

Stripping costs during the production phase - These are overburden removal costs incurred after the mine has been brought to revenue as per the policyof the group.

Strippingcostsduringtheproduction phasecangiveriseto two benefits,theextractionofcoalin thecurrentperiodand improved access to coal which will be extracted in future periods. Stripping costs during the production phase are allocated between the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset using a standard strip ratio (overburden-to- coal).ThestandardstripratioisthetotalvolumeofOverburdenexpectedtoberemovedoverthelifeofthemineagainst thetotalcoaltobeextractedoverthelifeofthemine.Whentheactualvolumeofoverburdenremovedisgreaterthanthe expectedvolumeofoverburdenremoval,thestrippingcostforexcessoverburdenremovedovertheexpectedoverburden removaliscapitalisedtothestrippingactivityasset.Thestrippingactivityassetisamortisedovertheexpectedusefullife of the mine. Changes in geo-mining conditions mayhave an impact on the standard strip ratio. Changes to the ratio are accounted for prospectively. Stripping activity asset are included separately under Property, plant, and equipment.

ThecompanyrecognisesStrippingactivityassetforstrippingcostsduringtheproductionphaseinthemineswitharated capacity of one million Tonnes per annum and above.

2.20 Inventories

2.20.1 Stock of Coal Inventories of coal/coke are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories are calculated using theWeightedAveragemethod.Netrealisablevaluerepresentstheestimatedsellingpriceofinventorieslessallestimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Bookstockofcoalisconsideredintheaccountswherethevariancebetweenbook stockand measuredstockisup to+/- 5% and in cases where the variance is beyond +/-5% the measured stock is considered. Coke is considered as a part of the stock of coal.

Slurry(coking/semi-coking),middlingofwasheries,andbyproductsarevaluedatnetrealisablevalueandconsideredas a part of the stock of coal.

2.20.2 Stores, Spares, and Other Inventories 351The Stock of stores and spares including other inventories are valued at cost calculated on the basis of the weighted average method.

Provisions are made at the rate of 100% for unserviceable, damaged and obsolete stores and spares and at the rate of 50% for stores & spares not moved for 5 years.

2.21 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets Provisions are recognized when the Companyhas a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and itisprobable thatanoutflowofeconomic benefitswillbe requiredto settletheobligation and areliable estimate of theamountoftheobligationcanbemade.Wherethetimevalueofmoneyismaterial,provisionsarestatedatthepresent value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

All provisions are reviewed at each Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Contingentassetsaredisclosedinthefinancialinformationwheninflowofeconomicbenefitsisprobableonthebasisof the judgment of management. These are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the restated financial information.

2.22 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per shares is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per shares and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.23 Stripping activity provision (Ratio Variance) Stripping activity provision recognized earlier is based on the policy followed consistently by CIL since its inception.

Stripping activity provision was recognized or reversed based on the current ratio of OB to Coal as compared to the average Stripping ratio (Standard ratio) of the mine. This accounting method has been substantiated and validated bya multitude of authoritative bodies and forums, including income tax authorities.

The carrying amount of the stripping activity provision is reversed systematically whenever the situation of reversal arises on extraction of actual volume of overburden over expected volume thereof. Such reversal is specific to mines at the rate the said provision has been recognized.

2.24 Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions 352The preparation of the financial information in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial information and the amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Application of accounting policies involving complex and subjective judgements and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on anongoingbasis.Revisions to accounting estimatesare recognisedin the period in which theestimates are revised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the restated financial information.

2.24.1 Judgements In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which

have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the restated financial information:

2.24.1.1 Formulation of Accounting Policies Accounting policies are formulated in a manner that results in financial information containing relevant and reliable information about the transactions, other events and conditions to which theyapply. Those policies need not be applied when the effect of applying them is immaterial.

In the absence of an Ind AS that specificallyapplies to a transaction, other event or condition, management has used its

judgment in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is: a) relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users and b) reliable in that financial information and

(i) represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company; (ii) reflect the economicsubstanceoftransactions,othereventsand conditions,and notmerelythelegal form;(iii) areneutral, i.e.free from bias; (iv) are prudent; and (v) are complete in all material respects on a consistent basis In making the judgment management refers to, and considers the applicability of, the following sources in descending

order:

(a) the requirements in Ind ASs dealing with similar and related issues; and

(b) the definitions, recognition criteria and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in the Framework.

In making the judgment, management considers the most recent pronouncements of the International Accounting Standards Board and in the absence thereof those of the other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards, other accounting literature, and accepted industry practices, to the extent that these do not conflict with the Indian accounting Standard and accounting policies and practices as stated in above paragraph.

The Company operates in the mining sector (a sector where the exploration, evaluation, and development production phases are based on the varied topographical and geo-mining terrain spread over the lease period running over decades and prone to constant changes), the accounting policies whereof have evolved based on specific industry practices supportedbyresearchcommitteesandapprovedbythevariousregulatorsowingtoitsconsistentapplicationoverthelast several decades. In the absence of specific accounting literature, guidance and standards in certain specific areas which are in the process of evolution, the Company continues to strive to develop accounting policies in line with the development of accounting literature and any development therein shall be accounted for prospectively as per the procedure laid down above more, particularly in Ind AS 8.

2.24.1.2 Materiality 353IndASappliestoitemswhicharematerial. Managementusesjudgementin decidingwhetherindividualitemsgroupsof itemarematerialinthefinancialinformation.Materialityisjudgedbyreferencetothenatureormagnitudeorbothofthe items. The deciding factor is whether omitting or misstating or obscuring an information could individually or in combinationwithotherinformationinfluencedecisionsthatprimaryusersmakeonthebasisofthefinancialinformation.

Management also uses judgement of materialityfor determining the compliance requirement of the Ind AS. Further, the Company may also be required to present separately immaterial items when required by law.

With effect from 01.04.2019 Errors/omissions discovered in the current year relating to prior periods are treated as immaterialandadjustedduringthecurrentyear,ifallsucherrorsandomissionsinaggregatedoesnotexceed1%oftotal revenue from operation (net of statutory levies) as per the last audited financial statement of the Company.

2.24.1.3 Operating lease Company has entered into lease agreements. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the commercial property and the fair value of the asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

2.24.2 Estimates and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financialyear,aredescribedbelow.TheCompanybaseditsassumptionsandestimatesonparametersavailablewhenthe restated financial information were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however,maychange dueto marketchanges orcircumstancesarisingthatarebeyond thecontroloftheCompany.Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The estimates, judgements and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

The application of accounting policies that require critical judgements and accounting estimates involving complex and

subjective judgements and the use of assumptions in these financial information have been disclosed here in below:

2.24.2.1 Impairment of non-financial assets There is an indication of impairment if, the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Company considers individual minesasseparatecashgeneratingunitsforthepurposeoftestofimpairment. The valuein usecalculationisbased ona DCFmodel.Thecashflowsarederivedfromthebudgetforthenextfiveyearsanddonotincluderestructuringactivities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to othermining infrastructures.The keyassumptionsusedtodetermine therecoverableamountforthedifferentCGUs,are disclosed and further explained in respective notes.

2.24.2.2 Income Taxes 354Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amountofdeferred taxassets thatcan berecognised, basedupon thelikelytimingand thelevel offuture taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

2.24.2.3 Defined benefit plans and long term employee benefits Thecostofthedefinedbenefitplanandotherpost-employmentmedicalbenefitsandthepresentvalueoftheobligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ fromactual developments in thefuture. Theseinclude thedetermination ofthe discountrate, futuresalaryincreasesand mortality rates.

Duetothecomplexitiesinvolvedinthevaluationanditslong-termnature,adefinedbenefitobligationishighlysensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables of the country. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes.

2.24.2.4 Intangible asset under development The Company capitalises intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy.

Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a project report is formulated and approved.

2.24.2.5 Provision for Mine Closure, Site Restoration and Decommissioning Obligation In determining the fair value of the provision for Mine Closure, Site Restoration and Decommissioning Obligation, assumptionsandestimatesaremadeinrelationtodiscountrates,theexpectedcostofsiterestorationanddismantlingand the expected timing of those costs. The estimates provision using the DCF method considering life of the project/mine based on  Estimated cost per hectare as specified in guidelines issued by Ministry of Coal, Government of India  The discount rate (pre-tax rate) that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A brief of each level is given below:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes Mutual fund which is valued using closing Net Asset Value (NAV) as at the reporting date.

Level2:Thefairvalueoffinancialinstrumentsthatarenottradedinanactivemarketisdeterminedusingvaluationtechniqueswhichmaximizetheuseofobservablemarketdataandrelyaslittleaspossibleonentity- specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for investments , security deposits and other liabilities included in level 3.

(c) Valuation technique used in determining fair value Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include the use of quoted market prices (NAV) of instruments in respect of investment in Mutual Funds.

(d) Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs At present there are no fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.

(e) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost The carrying amounts of trade receivables, short term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Thewithholdingofaspecifiedpercentageofeachmilestonepaymentisintendedtoprotecttheinterestofthegroup,fromthecontractorfailingtoadequatelycompleteitsobligations under the contract. Accordingly, transaction cost of Security deposit is considered as fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Significant estimates: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a method and makes suitable assumptions at the end of each reporting period.

Accordingly, the issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital of our Company being 46,570,000 equity shares of ₹1,000 each was sub-divided into 4,657,000,000 equity shares of ₹ 10 each. Earnings Per Share and NAV have been calculated after giving effect to such sub division.

Notes:

(1) Earnings per share (EPS) equals profit for the year/ period attributable to the shareholders of the Company divided by the Weighted average number of Equity Shares outstanding during the year/ period. Since there is no dilutive capital, Basic and Diluted EPS would be same.

(2) Return on Net Worth is calculated as restated profit / (loss) for the period / year divided by average net worth. Net Worth is the total equity attributable to equity-holders of the company, as appearing in the Restated Financial Information less OCI - Re-measurement of Defined Benefits Plans (net of Tax) Reserve. Average net worth is the sum of opening and closing net worth divided by two.

(3) Net asset value (NAV) per equity share refers to Net worth as at the end of the year / period divided by number of equity shares outstanding at the end of the financial year. Net Worth is the total equity attributable to equity-holders of the company, as appearing in the Restated Financial Information less OCI - Re-measurement of Defined Benefits Plans (net of Tax) Reserve.

(4) EBITDA is calculated as restated profit / (loss) for the period / year, plus finance costs, total taxes, and depreciation and amortisation expense.

(5) Revenue from Operations means the revenue from operations as appearing in the Restated Financial Information For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” on page 443.

In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the audited financial statements of our Company as at and for the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 and the reports thereon (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”) are available on our website at www.bcclweb.in.

SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of important factors including:

Sectoral demand and market dynamics 422Our revenues are significantly influenced by demand from the steel and power sectors. We also produce washed coal, washed power coal, which has reduced ash content and is used in steel making and power generation.

Washed power coal, by-products of coal washing, are used for power generation and in various industrial plants. The following table sets forth details of the industry-wise sales for the years/periods indicated:

According to the CRISIL Report, the demand for coking coal in India stands at 67 million metric tonnes in Fiscal 2025 and is expected to reach 138 million metric tonnes by Fiscal 2035. The demand for coking coal in India is expected to rise substantially, driven by the growth of the steel and power industries. (Source: CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 200) While India’s infrastructure growth and industrialization continue to support long-term demand, short-term fluctuations – such as reduced steel output or changes in the energy mix, can affect coal offtake. For instance, a temporary slowdown in steel production due to global oversupply could reduce demand for washed coking coal. To mitigate such risks, we are expanding our customer base through e-auctions and long-term MoUs, while enhancing our washed coal capacity to cater to quality-sensitive industrial users.

Sales volumes and pricing Our results of operations are significantly influenced by the sales volumes and pricing of coking coal. The volume of coking coal we are able to sell depends not only on our production capacity and operational efficiency but also on the demand from key consuming sectors, particularly steel, which is sensitive to broader economic and industrial trends. The table below sets forth details of our sales for the years/periods indicated:

While FSAs provide a degree of price stability, e-auction prices are subject to market dynamics and can fluctuate based on domestic and international supply-demand conditions. Global coking coal prices, in particular, influence the competitiveness of domestic coal and can affect customer preferences between imported and indigenous sources. The sustained increase in international coking coal prices has reinforced our competitive position within the domestic market, enabling us to reliably meet demand as a key supplier of coking coal.

To mitigate the impact of price volatility and demand fluctuations, we have adopted a multi-pronged strategy.

This includes expanding our washed coal capacity to cater to the quality requirements of steel producers, enhancing our logistics and evacuation infrastructure to ensure timely delivery, and diversifying our customer base through increased participation in e-auctions and private sector linkages. These efforts are aimed at ensuring that we can maintain stable sales volumes and optimize price realization across different market segments.

Coal reserve quality and extraction efficiency The quality and accessibility of our coal reserves play a critical role in determining our production efficiency and cost structure. Our extensive reserve base provides long-term security, operational challenges persist, particularly in the Jharia coalfield, where certain seams are fire-prone or have high ash content. For instance, in fire-affected areas, we have undertaken advance overburden (“OB”) removal to ensure safe and timely access to coal seams.

In Fiscal 2025, we recorded our highest OB removal volumes, which supported continued high production levels despite geological constraints.

To address these challenges and improve reserve recovery, we are deploying highwall and longwall mining technologies to access deeper or previously uneconomical seams—yielding 0.53 million tonnes of coal via highwall mining in Fiscal 2025; and reorganizing Jharia coal blocks into seven large opencast units to streamline extraction and reduce fire risk; and expanding and modernizing washeries to process high-ash coal more efficiently, with ₹11,598.32 million committed to new and upgraded facilities. These initiatives are aimed at maximizing reserve utilization, improving coal quality, and enhancing operational resilience.

Capacity utilization and operational productivity Our profitability is intrinsically linked to how effectively we utilize our mining and washery infrastructure. While we have made significant investments in expanding our production and processing capacities, the actual utilization of these assets has varied due to a combination of operational, logistical, and market-driven factors. In six months period ended September 30, 2025, for instance, our overall coal production stood at 15.75 million tonnes, yet our washeries operated at only 28.46% of their operable capacity, This underutilization reflects the complex interplay between raw coal availability, feedstock quality, and the synchronization of mining and beneficiation operations.

Operational productivity is also influenced by the efficiency of our equipment, the reliability of our logistics infrastructure, and the coordination between different stages of the coal value chain—from extraction to 424processing to dispatch. Delays in overburden removal, equipment downtime, or bottlenecks in coal evacuation can all contribute to suboptimal utilization of installed capacity, thereby affecting cost efficiency and margins.

To address these challenges and enhance overall productivity, we are undertaking a comprehensive modernization and expansion of our washery infrastructure. We are in the process of commissioning three new washeries— Patherdih-II, Bhojudih, and Moonidih—with a combined capacity of 7.00 million tonnes per annum. These facilities are designed to handle high-ash coking coal and are equipped with advanced beneficiation technologies to improve yield and product quality. At the same time, we are upgrading existing washeries to align their operational capabilities with current and projected production volumes. By improving the alignment between coal production and processing, and by investing in more efficient and flexible infrastructure, we aim to significantly improve capacity utilization and operational productivity across our value chain.

Relationship with Coal India Limited As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coal India Limited, the world’s largest coal-producing company (Source:

CRISIL Report, Industry Overview on page 200), we benefit significantly from the strategic, technical, and financial support that comes with being part of a well-established and resource-rich group. This relationship enhances our operational capabilities, strengthens our market credibility, and provides access to a wide pool of expertise and infrastructure that would be difficult to replicate independently.

One of the most tangible benefits of this relationship is the technical support we receive from CMPDIL, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited and a recognized leader in mine planning, geological surveys, and resource assessment. CMPDIL’s involvement in our operations ensures that our mine development strategies are grounded in robust geological data and optimized for long-term sustainability. Their support is particularly critical in complex mining environments like the Jharia coalfield, where fire-prone seams and intricate geology require advanced planning and risk mitigation.

Beyond technical collaboration, our association with Coal India Limited provides us with access to centralized procurement systems, shared research and development initiatives, and group-level policy frameworks that promote operational consistency and cost efficiency. For example, procurement of high-speed diesel, explosives, and heavy earth-moving machinery is often coordinated at the group level, allowing us to benefit from economies of scale and standardized quality benchmarks.

Financially, our position within the Coal India Limited group enhances our credit profile and provides a stable platform for long-term capital investment. This has enabled us to undertake large-scale modernization projects— such as the commissioning of new washeries and the deployment of highwall and longwall mining technologies— without the need for external debt. Our debt-free status and strong balance sheet are, in part, a reflection of the financial discipline and support embedded within the Coal India Limited ecosystem.

At the same time, we recognize the importance of operational autonomy and local responsiveness. While we align with Coal India Limited’s broader strategic direction, we also pursue project-specific initiatives tailored to our unique resource base and regional context. For instance, we have entered into revenue-sharing agreements with private developers for the revival of discontinued underground mines, and we are actively engaging with local communities and state authorities to implement the Jharia Master Plan and other sustainability initiatives.

Nevertheless, our dependence on Coal India Limited also introduces certain sensitivities. Any shift in Coal India Limited’s strategic priorities, resource allocation, or governance structure could influence our operational flexibility and investment planning. We maintain close coordination with Coal India Limited’s leadership while continuing to build internal capabilities and partnerships that support our long-term growth and resilience.

Figures for previous year have been regrouped/ rearranged wherever necessary, in order to make them comparable with current year figures.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Current and Non-Current Classification The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current by the Company when:

• it expects to realise the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle; • it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading; • it expects to realise the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or • the asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current by the Company when: • it expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle; • it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading; • the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or • it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

426Having regard to the nature of the business being carried out by the Company, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

Revenue Recognition Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is principally derived from the sale of coal, related ancillary services, and products. Revenue from sales of products is recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped or delivered to the specific location as the case may be, and the risks of loss have been transferred in accordance with the sales contract. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company is or expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the variable consideration as per the sales contract, using the most likely method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The amount of consideration does not contain a significant financing component as payment terms are less than one year as per the sales contracts.

The Company has a number of long-term contracts to supply products to customers in future periods. Generally, revenue is recognized on an invoice basis, as each unit sold is a separate performance obligation, and therefore the right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with our performance completed to date.

Interest - Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividends - Dividend is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

Other Claims - Revenue in respect of Other claims (including interest on delayed realization from customers) are recognized only when there is reasonable certainty as to the ultimate collection and the amount can be measured reliably.

Grants from Government Government Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that there is reasonable certainty that grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in Restated Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises the related expenses or costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government Grants related to assets are presented in the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities by setting up the grant as deferred income and are recognised in Restated Statement of Profit and Loss on systematic basis over the useful life of asset.

Grants related to income (i.e. grant related to other than assets) are presented as part of Restated Statement of Profit and Loss under the head ‘Other Income’.

A government grant/assistance that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs, is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which it becomes receivable.

The Government grants or grants in the nature of promoter’s contribution is recognised directly in “Capital Reserve” which forms part of the “Shareholders fund”.

Leases (Ind AS 116) A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

427Company as a lessee The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company

assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the commencement date, a lessee shall recognise a right-of-use asset at cost and a lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset is of low value.

Subsequently, right-of-use asset is measured using cost model whereas, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates of these leases. Lease liabilities are premeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset are separately presented in the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and lease payments are classified as financing cash flows. Lease liability obligations is presented separately under the head "Financial Liabilities".

Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset applying other applicable standards.

Right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset, if the lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-to-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option. Otherwise, the lessee shall depreciate the right-to-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

Company as a lessor Assets are given on lease either as finance lease or operating lease.

Finance Lease: A lease is classified as finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Initially, asset held under finance lease is recognised in Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and presented as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

Finance income is recognised over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on Company's net investment in the lease.

Operating Lease: A lease which is not classified as a finance lease is an operating lease. The Company recognises lease payments in case of assets given on operating leases as income on a straight line basis.

Non-Current Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies non-current assets and (or disposal groups) as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.

For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual 428and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned.

The Company treats sale of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when: • The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group) • An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated • The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value • The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and • Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current asset or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Depreciation An item of PPE is recognized as an asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

PPE are initially measured at cost of acquisition/construction including decommissioning or restoration cost wherever required. Cost of land includes expenditures which are directly attributable to the acquisition of the land like, rehabilitation expenses, resettlement cost and compensation in lieu of employment incurred for concerned displaced persons etc.

After recognition, an item of all other Property, plant and equipment are carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses under Cost Model. The cost of an item of property, plant

and equipment comprises: • its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates. • any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

• the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Company incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

• Interest on Borrowings utilized to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of cost of the asset until such time that the asset is ready for its intended use.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. However, significant part(s) of an item of PPE having same useful life and depreciation method are grouped together in determining the depreciation charge.

Costs of the day to-day servicing described as ‘repairs and maintenance’ are recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss in the period in which the same are incurred.

Subsequent cost of replacing parts which are significant in relation to the total cost of an item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the carrying amount of the item, if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company; and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised in accordance with the derecognition policy mentioned below.

When major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the item of property, plant and equipment as a replacement if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company; and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Any remaining carrying amount of the cost of the previous inspection (as distinct from physical parts) is derecognised.

429An item of property, plant or equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from the continuing use of assets. Any gain or loss arising on such derecognition of an item of property plant and equipment is recognised in restated statement of profit and loss.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is provided as per cost model on straight

line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:

Other Land (including Leasehold Life of the project or lease term whichever is lower Land):

Building (incl. Roads): 3-60 years

Telecommunication: 3-9 years

Railway Sidings: 15 years Plant and Equipment (incl. Railway 1-30 years Corridor, Others):

Computers and Laptops: 3 Years

Office equipment: 2-5 years

Furniture and Fixtures: 10 years

Vehicles: 8-10 years Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives given above best represent the period over which the management expects to use the asset. Hence the useful lives of the assets may be different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

The estimated useful life of the assets is reviewed at the end of each financial year.

The residual value of property, plant and equipment is considered as 5% of the original cost of the asset except for some items of assets such as other land, site restoration asset, other mining infrastructure, surveyed off assets.

Useful life has been technically estimated to be one year with nil residual value for items such as Coal tub, winding ropes, haulage ropes, stowing pipes and safety lamps etc.

Depreciation on the assets added/disposed of during the year is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the month of addition / disposal.

Value of “Other Land” includes land acquired under Coal Bearing Area (Acquisition & Development) (CBA) Act, 1957, Land Acquisition Act, 1894, Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLAAR) Act, 2013, Long term transfer of government land etc., which are amortised on the basis of the balance life of the project; and in case of leasehold land such amortisation is based on lease period or balance life of the project whichever is lower.

Assets that are fully depreciated and retired from active use are disclosed separately as surveyed off assets at its residual value under Property, Plant Equipment and are tested for impairment.

Transition to Ind AS The Company elected to continue with the carrying value as per the cost model (for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the restated financial information as at the date of transition to Ind ASs, measured as per the previous GAAP.

Mine Closure, Site Restoration and Decommissioning Obligation The Company’s obligation for land reclamation and decommissioning of structures consists of spending at both surface and underground mines in accordance with the guidelines from the Ministry of Coal, Government of India.

The Company estimates its obligation for Mine Closure, Site Restoration and Decommissioning based upon detailed calculation and technical assessment of the amount and timing of the future cash spending to perform the required work. Mine Closure expenditure is provided as per approved Mine Closure Plan. The estimates of expenses are escalated for inflation, and then discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks, such that the amount of provision reflects the present value of the expenditures expected to be incurred to settle the obligation. The Company records a corresponding asset associated with the liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding assets are recognised in the period in which the liability is incurred. The asset representing the total site restoration cost (as 430estimated by Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Limited) as per the mine closure plan is recognised as a separate item in PPE and amortised over the balance project/mine life.

The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the effect of discounting unwinds; creating an expense recognised as a financial expense.

Further, a specific escrow fund account is maintained for this purpose as per the approved mine closure plan.

The progressive mine closure expenses incurred on year to year basis forming part of the total mine closure obligation are initially recognised as receivable from the escrow account and thereafter adjusted with the obligation in the year in which the amount is withdrawn after the concurrence of the certifying agency.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets Exploration and evaluation assets comprise costs that are attributable to the search for coal and related resources, pending the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified

resource which comprises inter alia the following: • acquisition of rights to explore • researching and analysing historical exploration data; • gathering exploration data through topographical, geo-chemical and geo-physical studies;

• exploratory drilling, trenching, and sampling; • determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource; • surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements; • Conducting market and finance studies.

The above includes employee remuneration, cost of materials and fuel used, payments to contractors etc.

As the intangible component represents an insignificant/indistinguishable portion of the overall expected tangible costs to be incurred and recouped from future exploitation, these costs along with other capitalised exploration costs are recorded as exploration and evaluation assets.

Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised on a project-by-project basis pending the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project and disclosed as a separate line item under non-current assets. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment/provision.

Once proved reserves are determined and the development of mines/projects are sanctioned, exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to “Development” under capital work in progress. However, if proved reserves are not determined, the exploration and evaluation asset is derecognised.

Development Expenditure When proved reserves are determined and the development of mines/projects are sanctioned, capitalised exploration and evaluation cost is recognised as assets under construction and disclosed as a component of capital work in progress under the head “Development”. All subsequent development expenditure is also capitalised. The development expenditure capitalised is net of proceeds from the sale of coal extracted during the development phase.

Commercial Operation The project/mines are brought to revenue; when commercial readiness of a project/mine to yield production on a sustainable basis is established either on the basis of conditions specifically stated in the project report or on the

basis of the following criteria: • From the beginning of the financial year immediately after the year in which the project achieves physical output of 25% of rated capacity as per the approved project report, or • 2 years of touching coal, or • From the beginning of the financial year in which the value of production is more than total, expenses.

Whichever event occurs first;

431On being brought to revenue, the assets under capital work in progress are reclassified as a component of property, plant, and equipment under the nomenclature “Other Mining Infrastructure”. Other Mining infrastructures are amortised from the year when the mine is brought under revenue in 20 years or the working life of the project whichever is less.

Intangible Assets and Amortisation Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost includes any directly attributable expenses necessary to make the assets ready for its intended use. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits deriving from the cost incurred will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

An item of Intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss.

Amortisation of intangible asset is provided on straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible

asset as follows:

Intangible Assets Useful Life SAP/ERP : 6 Years

Other Computer Software : License period

Rail Corridor : Life as per MoU contract period An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each reporting date.

Exploration and Evaluation assets attributable to blocks identified for sale or proposed to be sold to outside agencies (i.e. for blocks not earmarked for CIL) are however, classified as Intangible Assets and tested for impairment.

Expenditure on research is charged to expenditure as and when incurred. Expenditure on development is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.

Impairment of Assets (Other than Financial Assets) The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is 432determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Company considers individual mines as separate cash-generating units for the purpose of a test of impairment.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Investment Property Property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of businesses are classified as an investment property.

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs.

Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Financial Instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.

Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories: • Debt instruments at amortised cost • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) • Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) • Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) Debt instruments at amortised cost A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.

Debt instrument at FVTOCI A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

433• The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and • The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the P&L. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

Debt instrument at FVTPL FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.

Equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and Joint Ventures In accordance of Ind AS 101 (First time adoption of Ind AS), the carrying amount of these investments as per previous GAAP as on the date of transition is considered to be the deemed cost. Subsequently Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost.

In case of restated financial information, Equity investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted as per equity method as prescribed in para 10 of Ind AS 28.

Other Equity Investment All other equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

All fair value changes of an equity instrument classified at FVTOCI, are recognized in OCI. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends from such investments are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as “other income” when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.

Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities) when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, 434or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets (other than fair value) In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and

recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure: • Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance • Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI • Lease receivables under Ind AS 116 • Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on: • Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and • All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of Ind AS 116 The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.

435Financial liabilities at amortised cost After initial recognition, these are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in restated statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Reclassification of financial assets The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities.

For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations.

If Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

Original Revised Accounting Treatment Classification Classification Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference Amortised cost FVTPL between previous amortized cost and fair value is recognised in P&L.

Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new gross FVTPL Amortised Cost carrying amount. EIR is calculated based on the new gross carrying amount.

Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous amortised cost and fair value is Amortised cost FVTOCI recognised in OCI. No change in EIR due to reclassification.

Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new amortised cost carrying amount. However, cumulative gain FVTOCI Amortised cost or loss in OCI is adjusted against fair value. Consequently, the asset is measured as if it had always been measured at amortised cost.

Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new carrying FVTPL FVTOCI amount. No other adjustment is required.

Assets continue to be measured at fair value. Cumulative FVTOCI FVTPL gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified to P&L at the reclassification date.

Offsetting of financial instruments 436Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels depending on the

ability to observe inputs employed for such measurement: • Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements who regularly review significant unobservable inputs, valuation adjustments and fair value hierarchy under which the valuation should be classified.

Cash and Cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent in the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are expensed as and when incurred except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets i.e. the assets that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use, in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of related asset up to the date when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use.

Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for a period. Taxable profit differs from “profit before income tax” as reported in the restated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised 437to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting year and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Employee Benefits Short-term Benefits Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service.

All short-term employee benefits are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered by employees.

Post-employment benefits and other long term employee benefits Defined contributions plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays a fixed contribution into a fund maintained by a separate body and the Company will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the restated statement of profit and loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

Defined benefits plans A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return of their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value and reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if any. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The application of actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about the discount rate, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates etc. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to uncertainties. The calculation is performed at each Restated Statement of Assets and 438Liabilities by an actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in the benefit to the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reduction in future contributions to the plan. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realisable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of plan liabilities.

Re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gain and losses considering the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effects of the assets ceiling (if any, excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the other comprehensive income. The Company determines the net interest expense

(income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in restated statement of profit and loss.

When the benefits of the plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised as an expense immediately in the restated statement of profit and loss.

Other long-term employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits are all employee benefits other than short-term employee benefits, post- employment benefits and termination benefits.

Other long-term employee benefits include items which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service.

For other long-term employee benefits, net total of the following amounts is recognized in the statement of profit

or loss: • Service cost • Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) • Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) Foreign Currency Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the reported currency of the Company using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies outstanding at the end of the reporting period are translated at the exchange rates prevailing as at the end of reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary assets and liabilities or on translating monetary assets and liabilities at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are valued at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions.

Stripping Activity In case of opencast mining, the mine waste materials (“overburden”) which consists of soil and rock on the top of coal seam is required to be removed to get access to the coal and its extraction. The process of removing overburden to access coal is referred to as stripping. Stripping is necessary to obtain access to coal and occurs throughout the life of an opencast mine. Stripping costs during development and production phases are classified in property, plant, and equipment. Stripping costs are accounted for separately for individual mines.

The Company accounts for stripping activities as follows:

Stripping costs during the Development phase These are initial overburden removal costs incurred to obtain access to coal to be extracted. These costs are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the company and costs can be measured 439reliably. Once the production phase begins, capitalised development stripping costs are amortised over the mine life.

Stripping costs during the production phase These are overburden removal costs incurred after the mine has been brought to revenue as per the policy of the group. Stripping costs during the production phase can give rise to two benefits, the extraction of coal in the current period and improved access to coal which will be extracted in future periods. Stripping costs during the production phase are allocated between the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset using a standard strip ratio (overburden-to-coal). The standard strip ratio is the total volume of Overburden expected to be removed over the life of the mine against the total coal to be extracted over the life of the mine. When the actual volume of overburden removed is greater than the expected volume of overburden removal, the stripping cost for excess overburden removed over the expected overburden removal is capitalised to the stripping activity asset. The stripping activity asset is amortised over the expected useful life of the mine. Changes in geo-mining conditions may have an impact on the standard strip ratio. Changes to the ratio are accounted for prospectively. Stripping activity asset are included separately under Property, plant, and equipment.

The Company recognises stripping activity asset for stripping costs during the production phase in the mines with a rated capacity of one million tonnes per annum and above.

Inventories Stock of Coal Inventories of coal/coke are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories are calculated using the Weighted Average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Book stock of coal is considered in the accounts where the variance between book stock and measured stock is up to +/- 5% and in cases where the variance is beyond +/- 5% the measured stock is considered. Coke is considered as a part of the stock of coal.

Slurry (coking/semi-coking), middling of washeries, and by products are valued at net realisable value and considered as a part of the stock of coal.

Stores, Spares, and Other Inventories The stock of stores and spares including other inventories are valued at cost calculated on the basis of the weighted average method.

Provisions are made at the rate of 100% for unserviceable, damaged and obsolete stores and spares and at the rate of 50% for stores & spares not moved for 5 years.

Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

All provisions are reviewed at each Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

440Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial information when inflow of economic benefits is probable on the basis of the judgment of management. These are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the restated financial information.

Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per shares is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per shares and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

Stripping activity provision (Ratio Variance) Stripping activity provision recognized earlier is based on the policy followed consistently by Coal India Limited since its inception. Stripping activity provision was recognized or reversed based on the current ratio of OB to Coal as compared to the average Stripping ratio (Standard ratio) of the mine. This accounting method has been substantiated and validated by a multitude of authoritative bodies and forums, including income tax authorities.

The carrying amount of the stripping activity provision is reversed systematically whenever the situation of reversal arises on extraction of actual volume of overburden over expected volume thereof. Such reversal is specific to mines at the rate the said provision has been recognized.

Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the financial information in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial information and the amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Application of accounting policies involving complex and subjective judgements and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed.

Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the restated financial information.

Judgements In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments,

which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the restated financial information:

Formulation of Accounting Policies Accounting policies are formulated in a manner that results in financial information containing relevant and reliable information about the transactions, other events and conditions to which they apply. Those policies need not be applied when the effect of applying them is immaterial.

In the absence of an Ind AS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition, management has

used its judgment in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is: • relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users; and • reliable in that financial information:

(i) represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company; (ii) reflect the economic substance of transactions, other events and conditions, and not merely the legal form; (iii) are neutral, i.e. free from bias; (iv) are prudent; and (v) are complete in all material respects on a consistent basis In making the judgment management refers to, and considers the applicability of, the following sources in

descending order:

441• the requirements in Ind ASs dealing with similar and related issues; and • the definitions, recognition criteria and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in the Framework.

In making the judgment, management considers the most recent pronouncements of the International Accounting Standards Board and in the absence thereof those of the other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards, other accounting literature, and accepted industry practices, to the extent that these do not conflict with the Indian accounting Standard and accounting policies and practices as stated in above paragraph.

The Company operates in the mining sector (a sector where the exploration, evaluation, and development production phases are based on the varied topographical and geo-mining terrain spread over the lease period running over decades and prone to constant changes), the accounting policies whereof have evolved based on specific industry practices supported by research committees and approved by the various regulators owing to its consistent application over the last several decades. In the absence of specific accounting literature, guidance and standards in certain specific areas which are in the process of evolution, the Company continues to strive to develop accounting policies in line with the development of accounting literature and any development therein shall be accounted for prospectively as per the procedure laid down above more, particularly in Ind AS 8.

Materiality Ind AS applies to items which are material. Management uses judgement in deciding whether individual items groups of item are material in the financial information. Materiality is judged by reference to the nature or magnitude or both of the items. The deciding factor is whether omitting or misstating or obscuring an information could individually or in combination with other information influence decisions that primary users make on the basis of the financial information. Management also uses judgement of materiality for determining the compliance requirement of the Ind AS. Further, the Company may also be required to present separately immaterial items when required by law.

With effect from April 1, 2019 Errors/omissions discovered in the current year relating to prior periods are treated as immaterial and adjusted during the current year, if all such errors and omissions in aggregate does not exceed 1% of total revenue from operation (net of statutory levies) as per the last audited financial statement of the Company.

Operating lease Company has entered into lease agreements. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the commercial property and the fair value of the asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

Estimates and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the restated financial information were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The estimates, judgements and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

The application of accounting policies that require critical judgements and accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgements and the use of assumptions in these financial information have been disclosed

here in below:

442Impairment of non-financial assets There is an indication of impairment if, the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Company considers individual mines as separate cash generating units for the purpose of test of impairment. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to other mining infrastructures. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs, are disclosed and further explained in respective notes.

Income Taxes Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Defined benefit plans and long term employee benefits The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates.

Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables of the country. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes.

Intangible asset under development The Company capitalises intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a project report is formulated and approved.

Provision for Mine Closure, Site Restoration and Decommissioning Obligation In determining the fair value of the provision for Mine Closure, Site Restoration and Decommissioning Obligation, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost of site restoration and dismantling and the expected timing of those costs. The estimates provision using the DCF method considering life of the project/mine based on:

• Estimated cost per hectare as specified in guidelines issued by Ministry of Coal, Government of India • The discount rate (pre-tax rate) that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Non-GAAP Measures Certain financial measures such as EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, PAT Margin, Current Ratio, Return on Net Worth, Return on Average Capital Employed and Net Asset Value per Equity Share (“Non-GAAP Measures”) presented in this Red Herring Prospectus is a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that is not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our 443financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures are not standardized terms, hence a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Although such Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us as they are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance.

456CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES Except as disclosed below, there have been no changes in our accounting policies in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the last three Fiscals:

In the Fiscal 2024, our Company has adopted a revised policy on stripping activity in accordance with Appendix B Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine, of Ind AS 16, Property, Plant, and Equipment. In accordance with Ind AS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’ and Ind AS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, our Company has retrospectively restated its balance sheet as at March 31, 2023 and April 01, 2022 (beginning of the preceding period; as restatement prior to that period is impracticable) and statement of profit and loss and statement of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023. The impact of such restatements had already been given in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 (along with comparative figures for the year ended March 31, 2023) and hence no additional impact was required to be incorporated in the restated financial information.

Apart from the above, the Material Accounting Policies for the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 have been updated to enhance clarity for users of the financial statements. These updates do not carry any financial implication.

For details of emphasis of matters and other matters included in the Restated Financial Information, please see “Risk Factors- Our Statutory Auditors have included certain emphasis of matters and other matters in their audit report for the audited financial statements for Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023.” on page 70.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The risk management of the Company is carried out by the Board of Directors as per Department of Public Enterprises (“DPE”) Guidelines issued by Government of India. The board provides written principals for overall risk management as well as policies covering investment of excess liquidity.

Credit Risk Credit Risk Management Receivables arise mainly out of sale of coal. Sale of coal is broadly categorized as sale through fuel supply agreements (“FSAs”) and e-auction. Macro – economic information (such as regulatory changes) is incorporated as part of the FSAs and e-auction terms.

FSAs As contemplated in and in accordance with the terms of the New Coal Distribution Policy (NCDP), the company enters into legally enforceable FSAs with customers or with State Nominated Agencies that in turn enters into appropriate distribution arrangements with end customers. FSAs can be broadly categorized into:

• FSAs with customers in the power utilities sector, including State power utilities, private power utilities (“PPUs”) and independent power producers (“IPPs”); • FSAs with customers in non-power industries (including captive power plants (“CPPs”); and • FSAs with State Nominated Agencies.

E-Auction Scheme The E-Auction scheme of coal has been introduced to provide access to coal for customers who were not able to source their coal requirement through the available institutional mechanisms under the NCDP for various reasons, for example, due to a less than full allocation of their normative requirement under NCDP, seasonality of their coal requirement and limited requirement of coal that does not warrant a long-term linkage.

(Nationalization) Act, 1973, which envisages equitable distribution of coal in public interest. The CCI further concluded that Coal India Limited, notwithstanding its statutory and constitutional obligations and adherence to governmental policy directives, had indulged in abuse of dominant position, thereby contravening the provisions of Section 4(2)(a)(i) of the Competition Act, 2002. Aggrieved by the aforesaid

order, Coal India Limited filed an appeal before the Competition Appellate Tribunal (the “COMPAT”) on December 5, 2014.

2. Bijay Poddar, Kolkata (“Informant”) has on July 18, 2013 filed an information before the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”) against Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries, alleging abuse of dominant position by Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries, which violates the provision of section 4(2)(a)(i) of the Competition Act, 2002. The Informant alleged that Coal India Limited had imposed unfair and discriminatory conditions in the sale of non-coking coal under its Spot E-Auction Scheme.

The Informants alleged abuse of dominant position by Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries through the imposition of unfair and discriminatory conditions in the provisions of the Fuel Supply Agreement (the “FSA”), particularly relating to grade slippage, sampling methodology, supply of ungraded coal, compensation for stones and oversized coal, termination clauses, force majeure conditions, and the absence of bilateral negotiations with the counter-parties. Upon consideration, the CCI, vide order dated December 09, 2013, found Coal India Limited to be in contravention of Section 4(2)(a)(i) of the Competition Act, 2002 and imposed a penalty of ₹ 17,730 million. Aggrieved by the said order, the Coal India Limited preferred an appeal before the erstwhile Competition Appellate Tribunal (the “COMPAT”), inter alia contending that the principles of natural justice had been violated, as the members constituting the final bench of the CCI were not the same as those who had heard oral arguments. Acknowledging this procedural irregularity, the COMPAT, vide its order, set aside the CCI’s order dated December 9, 2013, and remanded the matter for de novo consideration by a duly constituted bench. Pursuant thereto, a fresh hearing was conducted by the CCI on May 17, 2016, and a revised order was passed on March 24, 2017, reiterating the earlier findings of abuse of dominant position by Coal India Limited. However, considering the remedial measures undertaken by Coal India Limited to improve the sampling process and amend certain provisions of the FSA, along with operational constraints arising from government directives, the CCI reduced the penalty to ₹ 5,910 million. Coal India Limited has challenged this revised order dated March 24, 2017 before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (the “NCLAT”).

4. Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company Limited, West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited, and the Sponge Iron Manufacturers Association (collectively, the “Informants”) filed separate information before the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”) under Section 19(1) read with

Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 against Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries. The Informants alleged that Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries abused their dominant position by imposing unfair and discriminatory terms in the Fuel Supply Agreements (the “FSAs”) without conducting any bilateral negotiations with thermal power producers (the “TPPs”) for finalizing the terms and conditions of the FSAs. Upon consideration, the CCI held that Coal India Limited was indeed in abuse of its dominant position in respect of the drafting and finalization of FSAs, grade declaration and review mechanisms, coal supplies under Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), Delivery Dispute Quantity (DDQ) adjustments, and the supply of ungraded coal. However, the CCI refrained from imposing any monetary penalty, noting that a penalty for identical conduct had already been imposed in the Mahagenco case (Case No. 03 of 2012).

Aggrieved by the findings, Coal India Limited preferred an appeal before the erstwhile Competition Appellate Tribunal (the “COMPAT”), which was tagged along with the Mahagenco appeal. Pursuant to remand directions in the Mahagenco matter, the CCI re-heard these information in 2016. Thereafter, the 473CCI, vide order dated April 2017, reaffirmed its earlier findings and observations, extensively relying on the reasoning adopted in the Mahagenco order. No separate penalty was levied in view of the penalty imposed in the connected matter. Coal India Limited, dissatisfied with this decision, preferred an appeal before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (the “NCLAT”), where it remains pending. In addition, in another case, GHCL filed an information before the CCI against Coal India Limited and Western Coalfields Limited (“WCL”), alleging abuse of dominant position. The CCI’s findings in this case related to several aspects, including the terms and conditions of Letters of Assurance (LOAs), drafting processes of FSAs, reduction of Annual Contracted Quantity (ACQ) through MoUs, cumulative impact of MoUs and addenda to FSAs, extensions of Coal Guarantees (CG), security deposit provisions, sampling methodology, grade review mechanisms, and DDQ clauses. On June 9, 2021, the Supreme Court of India, while noting that several matters involving similar issues and overlapping facts were pending before the NCLAT, directed Coal India Limited to file a transfer application to consolidate these proceedings before the Supreme Court.

order dated June 15, 2023, the Supreme Court retransferred all matters back to the NCLAT with a direction that each matter be adjudicated on its individual merits. Further, on July 19, 2024, Coal India Limited filed Interlocutory Applications, seeking to raise additional grounds before the NCLAT, including placing reliance on the Administrative Mechanism for Resolution of Central Public Sector Enterprises Disputes (the “AMRCD”) Guidelines as an alternative framework for the resolution of the disputes. These applications, along with the main matters, were listed before the NCLAT on July 22, 2024, where the respondents opposed the maintainability of the said applications. However, no substantive determination was made on that date. The matters, including the interlocutory applications, are currently pending.

5. The Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (the “Informant”) filed an information on February 10, 2017 before the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”) under Section 19(1)(a) read with Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002, against Coal India Limited and others (collectively, the “Respondents”). The Informant alleged that the Respondents abused their dominant position in the coal supply market by imposing unfair and discriminatory conditions in the sale of coal. Specifically, the Informant contended that the Fuel Supply Agreements (the “FSAs”) executed by Coal India Limited contained unilateral and non-negotiable clauses, including fixed pricing structures and restrictive terms governing coal sampling procedures, resulting in the consistent supply of lower-grade coal. These practices, it was alleged, amounted to a contravention of Section 4(2)(a)(i) of the Competition Act, 2002. Upon consideration, the CCI, vide order dated March 16, 2018, dismissed the information, holding that the issues raised by the Informant had already been adjudicated upon in the earlier Mahagenco case, and did not warrant separate intervention. Aggrieved by the said order, the Informant filed an appeal before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (the “NCLAT”), New Delhi, challenging the dismissal of its information and seeking appropriate relief. Subsequently, on March 22, 2023, the Supreme Court of India passed an order noting that several matters involving similar facts and issues were pending before the NCLAT. Accordingly, the Court directed consolidation of these matters and their transfer from the NCLAT to the Supreme Court for comprehensive adjudication. Thereafter, by order dated June 15, 2023, the Supreme Court retransferred all such matters, including the instant appeal, back to the NCLAT with a direction that the cases be heard and decided on their own merits. The matter is currently pending.

1. Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (the “Petitioner”) has filed a writ petition before the High Court of Orissa at Cuttack (the “Orissa High Court”) against the State of Odisha and others, challenging the legislative competence of the State to impose a tax on coal-bearing lands under the provisions of the Orissa Rural Infrastructure and Socio-Economic Development Act, 2004 (the “ORISED Act”). The principal issue for consideration before the Orissa High Court was the interplay between the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957 (the “CBA Act”), a central legislation enacted to regulate the acquisition, development, and management of coal-bearing areas by vesting both land ownership and mineral rights with the Central Government and its instrumentalities, and the taxing powers of the State Legislature under the Constitution of India. It was contended that the imposition of a 15% tax on coal-bearing lands by the State Government under the ORISED Act was ultra vires, as the field stood occupied by the Central Government under the CBA Act, leaving no scope for the State Legislature to levy such a tax. The Orissa High Court, vide its judgment dated December 5, 2005, upheld the challenge and declared the provisions of the ORISED Act imposing the tax as unconstitutional, being beyond the legislative competence of the State, and struck it down as ultra vires. Aggrieved by the said judgment, the State of Odisha has filed a civil appeal before the Supreme Court of India, wherein the constitutional validity of the ORISED Act and the extent of the State’s taxing powers vis-à-vis lands vested in the Central Government under the CBA 474Act remain under judicial scrutiny. The monetary implication involved in the matter is approximately ₹ 312,278 million. The matter is currently pending.

531RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment.

The Government of India has from time to time made policy pronouncements on foreign direct investment (“FDI”) through press notes and press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (earlier known as the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) (“DPIIT”), issued the FDI Policy, which, with effect from October 15, 2020 consolidated, subsumed and superseded all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect as of and prior to October 15, 2020. The FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular.

The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided that: (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI. For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, see “Offer Procedure—Bids by Eligible NRIs” and “Offer Procedure—Bids by FPIs” on page 516 and 517, respectively.

In accordance with existing regulations issued by the RBI, OCBs cannot participate in this Offer.

Further, in accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from April 22, 2020, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country (“Restricted Investors”), will require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government. Furthermore, on April 22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India has also made a similar amendment to the FEMA Rules. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India.

Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Bid/Offer Period.

For further details, see “Offer Procedure” on page 511.

Foreign Exchange Laws The foreign investment in our Company is governed by inter alia the FEMA, the FEMA Rules, the FDI Policy issued and amended by way of press notes, and the SEBI FPI Regulations. In terms of the FEMA Rules, for calculating the aggregate holding of FPIs in a company, holding of all registered FPIs shall be included. The aggregate limit for FPI investments shall be the sectoral cap applicable to our Company. In accordance with the FEMA Rules, the total holding by any individual NRI, on a non-repatriation basis and repatriation basis, shall not exceed 5% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis or shall not exceed five percent of the paid up value of each series of debentures or preference shares or share warrants issued by an Indian company and the total holdings of all NRIs and OCIs put together shall not exceed 10% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis or shall not exceed 10% of the paid-up value of each series of debentures or preference shares or 532share warrant. Provided that the aggregate ceiling of 10% may be raised to 24% if a special resolution to that effect is passed by the general body of the Indian company.
