A principal announcement at the meeting was the launch of the Corporate Plan Vision 2030, which was reviewed with the assistance of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP.

The plan prioritises productivity improvements, resource optimisation, mechanisation and digital modernisation to drive operational excellence.

The board approved a capital expenditure profile for mine expansion totalling 71,886.0 million (mn), with annual allocations ranging from 4,505.1 mn in 2026 to 22,271.8 mn in 2029 and 10,954.8 mn in 2030. The company set production targets in million tonnes per annum (MTPA), with total ore projected to rise from four point two one to 12.20 MTPA across the plan period. These measures are intended to ramp up output and support strategic expansion.

Profit after tax projections were set at 5,890 mn, 6,000 mn, 6,690 mn, 6,630 mn and 15,680 mn from 2026 through 2030 respectively, alongside dividend estimates of 1,770 mn, 1,800 mn, 2,010 mn, 1,990 mn and 4,700 mn. Management indicated that improved efficiency and diversified revenues are expected to underpin these financial outcomes. The plan targets sustained value creation for stakeholders while supporting national mineral security objectives.

The company unveiled an IT Vision 2026–2030 to build a unified digital infrastructure featuring hybrid underground communications, upgraded core networks, an integrated command and control centre, a private 5G network and AI and machine learning analytics. An indigenously developed License to Operate platform built on Oracle EBS was launched to centralise compliance and audits.
