Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited ("the Company") is pleased to announce its operational performance for the H1FY26, demonstrating consistent production across all key segments.
Iron Ore: Following the receipt of environmental clearance (EC) for 55 MTPA, the Company has continued to scale up production. Iron ore output for H1 FY26 was 7.4 million tonnes, up 24% YoY. Q2 FY26 volumes stood at 3.4 million tonnes, representing a 77% YoY increase, aided by the commissioning of the slurry pipeline, which supported more efficient evacuation despite seasonal constraints.
