Jindal Steel secures 50-year mining lease for Roida-I Iron Ore and Manganese Block in Odisha
By Aman Shukla Published on July 3, 2025, 21:51 IST Jindal Steel has taken a major step forward in its growth strategy with the Government of Odisha issuing a Letter of Intent (LoI) for a 50-year mining lease for the Roida-I Iron Ore and Manganese Block. Located in the mineral-rich Keonjhar district, the block spans 104.84 hectares and significantly boosts the company's raw material security for long-term operations. The Roida-I block comes with an Environmental Clearance for up to 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and holds a rich mineral deposit of approximately 126.05 million tonnes. This acquisition marks a major milestone in Jindal Steel's efforts to strengthen its backward integration model and support its vision of sustainable, self-reliant steel production. The lease comes after Jindal Steel's successful bid in the e-auction held on June 6, 2025, where it emerged as the Preferred Bidder under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 and the Mineral (Auction) Rules, 2015. Pankaj Malhan, Executive Director, Angul, said, 'This mining lease is a critical enabler for our long-term vision of self-reliant steel production. With the Roida-I block, we are significantly bolstering our iron ore and manganese supply base, which will ensure operational stability, cost efficiency, and support our growth plans. It is also a testament to Jindal Steel's commitment to Odisha's economic and industrial development through responsible and sustainable mining.' This development is not just a win for the company's operational resilience—it also reinforces its commitment to sustainable mining practices, economic development, and positive community engagement across Odisha's eastern corridor.

IEX reports 6.5% YoY growth in June 2025 electricity trade
The Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) recorded a 6.5% year-on-year increase in electricity traded volume, reaching 10,852 million units (MU) in June 2025. In the same period, 32.32 lakh Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) were traded, marking a sharp 636% rise from June 2024. For the first quarter of FY26, IEX reported 32,382 MU in total electricity traded volume, up 15% year-on-year. The REC segment saw 52.65 lakh certificates traded, up 149% from the year-ago period. These figures come despite a 1.5% dip in national energy consumption in June due to early monsoons, according to government data. Lower demand and improved supply liquidity led to a decline in prices across key markets. The Day-Ahead Market (DAM) saw prices fall 28% YoY to Rs 3.90/unit in June. Real-Time Market (RTM) prices were down 26% to Rs 3.73/unit. For Q1 FY26, average DAM and RTM prices fell 16% and 20% respectively, with heavy rainfall on May 25 pushing RTM rates as low as Rs 1.53/unit. Market activity varied by segment. DAM volumes dipped 5% in June and 7% in Q1, while RTM grew 34% YoY in June and 41% in Q1. Term-Ahead and Contingency segments fell 30% in June but rose 12% for the quarter. The Green Market traded 964 MU in June, up 30% YoY, and 2,660 MU in Q1 FY26, a 51% increase. The next REC trading sessions are scheduled for July 9 and July 30, 2025.
