Oil & gas volume shortfall
Gross production stuck at 85,000 BOE/day vs. plan due to ASP commissioning delays at Mangala. Large-scale ASP implementation (one of the largest globally) still in final commissioning stage, delaying additional 50 million barrel reserve unlock.
Power expansion equipment constraints
Indian manufacturers have capacity constraints for power equipment. Management acknowledged exploring both domestic and international suppliers for 10-12 GW planned expansion over 5-7 years, with no concrete commitments disclosed.
Lanjigarh expansion approval pending
1.5 to 3 MTPA alumina expansion remains 70% complete but awaiting final forest clearance. Previous timelines repeatedly postponed. Management hopeful for approval this quarter but no firm commitment.
