Total income of the company came down to Rs 2,547.13 crore in the quarter from Rs 2,970.13 crore a year ago.

It said that the company has been legally advised that there is no impact of Supreme Court judgement with reference to the Writ Petition (Civil) No 114/2014 dated August 2, 2017 on the NMDC.

However, it said that in case it is found applicable to the NMDC at a later date, it may impact the profits of the Company.

Meanwhile, it said that the Bailadila Projects of the NMDC have received the Show Cause Notices on July 31, 2018 from District Collector Dantewada as to why NMDC should not be asked to deposit an amount of Rs 7,241 .35 crore as compensation as calculated by Collector based on the judgement.

The NMDC has been asked to submit its response by August 31, 2018. As per the legal opinion received, the said compensation is not applicable to the NMDC and hence it will seek legal recourse and contest before The Collector, Dantewada and other appropriate authorities, it added.
