Operational Performance

Mined metal production for the quarter was at 255 kt, up 2.8% y-o-y on account of better grades and improved mill recoveries. On a sequential basis mined metal production grew by 1.4% largely on account of better grades. Overall H1 FY23 mined metal production was 507 kt, an increase of 8.0% y-o-y owing to increased ore production, further supported by better grades and improved operational efficiencies.

Integrated metal production for the quarter was 246 kt, up 17.5% y-o-y, in line with improved smelter performance, better mined metal availability and base impact due to extended maintenance shutdown during the same period last year. On a sequential basis, integrated metal production witnessed a decrease of 5.5% due to lower roaster availability on account of the breakdown of an acid storage tank at the Chanderiya plant during Q2 FY23 and the time taken in ramp up of production post maintenance. Overall H1 FY23 integrated metal production was 506 kt, a growth of 13.5% y-o-y, resulting from consistent mined metal flow from mines and better plant availability partly offset by acid storage tank breakdown at Chanderiya plant in Q2 FY23.
