Industry overview

Coal is the main source of energy for the world (26% for year 2024) and for India (56% share for year 2024) and will remain so in the future. It is the backbone for many end-use and manufacturing industries (power, steel, sponge iron, cement, paper, brick kilns and other industries) in India. Coal is found in abundance across the globe, with total proven reserves estimated at over 1,074,108 MT as of 2020. India currently stands fifth in terms of coal reserves, accounting for 10% of the total world reserves at around 111,052 MT, after the US, Russia, Australia and China.

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. The volume of coal dispatched in fiscal 2024 (973 MT) by different modes was driven by rail (47%, 461 MT domestic coal), followed by road (34%, 329 MT), MGR (13%, 127 MT) and conveyor belt and others (6%, 56 MT) in fiscal 202473. Railways contributed 47% of total domestic coal supplied in the country last fiscal, which is expected to increase to 73% by fiscal 2030, according to Integrated Coal Logistics plan for Coal Mines/Blocks.

Owing to the continuous increase in demand for steel, demand for iron ore is expected to increase rapidly. Steel production is expected to increase from 144 MT in fiscal 2024 to 222 MT in fiscal 2030, while iron ore production is expected to increase from 280 MT to 396 MT over the same period77. Demand needs to be fulfilled by the capacity expansion of iron ore mines and steel plants. In fiscal 2024, 274 MT of iron ore was dispatched, of which rail transported 67%, roads 20%, coastal 5% and slurry 9%78. Although there is a focus on reducing road transport and increasing rail, roads will continue to be the preferred mode for a while due to increase in volumes of minerals and delay in rail projects. In fiscal 2030, 388 MT iron is expected to be dispatched, of which rail expected to transport 66%, road 15%, pipeline 9%, and coastal and slurry 5% each.

The company has focused on reducing its operational expenses related to high-speed diesel and maintenance of equipment. Its mining operations are located within a 40 km radius which allows it to efficiently operate and maintain its trucks, equipment and machines across its mining operations.

Risks and concerns

Reliance on top three customers for majority of revenue: The company relies and expects that it will continue to be reliant on its top 10 customers for a substantial portion of its revenue. The company's top three customers contributed 90.11%, 85.10%, and 71.51% of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025, and Fiscal 2024, respectively. The loss of any of its top 3 customers for any reason including due to loss of, or failure to renew existing arrangements; regulatory changes, disputes with a customer; adverse changes in the financial condition of its customers, such as possible bankruptcy or liquidation or other financial hardship or a reduction in the demand for its products by any of its top customers could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Dependence on large-scale mining contracts: The company is dependent on the award of large-scale mining contracts (over Rs 100,000 lakh) which represented 76.12% of its revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026 and may represent a significant part of its order book in the future, increasing the potential volatility of its results of operations and cash flows and exposure to individual contract risks. Further, the award of future mining services contracts is subject to uncertainty and its failure to win future awards could adversely impact its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Geographic concentration of operations in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh: The company’s mining operations are concentrated in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The company has mining operations for coal extraction and overburden removal at mines and coal reserves owned by its customers located in Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. In Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, it derived 55.49%, 56.13% and 79.52% of its income from its operations, respectively, in Maharashtra, which includes customers or its mining and logistics businesses. Its remaining customers are in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and it has planned expansion in Odisha and Jharkhand. Any significant social, political, economic or seasonal disruption, natural calamities or civil disruptions in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh could have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to obtain or maintain required approvals, licenses and permits: Its mining operations require various approvals, licenses and permits which its mining customers must obtain or secure and any failure to obtain these approvals, licenses or permits in a timely manner may adversely impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The company is responsible for obtaining labour licenses and for approvals for the storage of diesel from the Indian Petroleum Explosive Safety Organisation (PESO). If it and its customers do not comply with all necessary licenses, permits and approvals required for its mining activities in a timely manner or at all its business results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
