Indian Metals and Ferro Alloys Ltd (IMFA) has received ₹70 million in compensation from the Indian government for infrastructure related to the Utkal ‘C’ coal mines, marking the latest installment in a multiphase reimbursement process.
Key highlights:
-
The ₹70 million payout pertains specifically to mine infrastructure valuation, following earlier compensation of ₹3.53 billion for freehold and leasehold land.
-
The Utkal ‘C’ coal block, previously allotted to IMFA’s subsidiary Utkal Coal Ltd, was reallocated to Jindal Steel and Power Ltd after a Supreme Court directive.
Strategic implications:
-
The total compensation received by IMFA now stands at approximately ₹3.61 billion, offering financial relief and potential reinvestment opportunities.
-
While the payout offsets asset loss, analysts caution that the reallocation may impact IMFA’s longterm mining revenue and operational leverage.
Outlook:
IMFA may channel the funds into new projects or debt reduction, but investors are advised to monitor future strategic moves closely.
