- Lignite production expected to grow from current 8 million tons with 10%-15% growth in existing mines in FY'26. - Six new lignite mines under development, contributing from FY'27 onwards with potential for significant volume increase. - Target to reach 15 million tons lignite production by 2035. - Coal mine at Baitarani West to start groundbreaking in FY'26, ramping up rapidly to around 1 million tons in first year, then 3 million and 5 million tons in subsequent years. - Revenue from coal mines expected to be strong post ramp-up. - Overall revenue growth expected around 20%, majorly driven by Odisha coal and Bhavnagar lignite projects. - New copper and rare earth projects in early stages; copper mine production and revenue anticipated towards end of the decade. - Management confident of solid growth trajectory despite some delays in project timelines.

- GMDC targets significant growth by 2030 with planned revenues reaching around Rs. 14,500 crore, acknowledging minor delays but maintaining overall targets. - FY'26 and FY'27 earnings growth is expected to be driven largely by ramp-up in existing lignite mines (10%-15% volume growth) and new mines coming online, particularly coal mines in Odisha and lignite projects in Bhavnagar. - Revenue growth guidance suggests potential growth around 20% year-on-year, driven by strong performance in coal and lignite segments. - Operating profitability is expected to improve as new PPAs will allow recovery of maintenance and CAPEX expenses through pass-through mechanisms, improving margins. - EPS/profits are anticipated to increase post completion and stabilization of new mines and power plants, with long-term sustained ROE aligned with industry benchmarks (around 12%). - CAPEX ramp-up over next few years supports volume and revenue growth, with steady outflows of Rs. 1,500-2,000 crore per year and peaks as projects advance.
