Midwest Limited announced on October 7, 2026, that it has received a Prohibitory Order from the Director of Mines Safety, Hyderabad Region No. 3, Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS). The order, received on October 6, 2026, at 3:53 pm IST, was issued following a site inspection that cited the collapse of a side of the mine located at Chimakurthy.
The order, issued under Sections 38(1)(B)(c) and 38(1)(B)(d) of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, prohibits the extraction of granite and the employment of persons at the company's Midwest Granite Mine in Chimakurthy, Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh. This prohibition remains in effect until the danger is removed.
The alleged violation stems from a collapse on the northern part of the mine, originating from an adjoining mine. This incident impacted several benches within Midwest Limited's mine, affecting their stability and raising operational and safety concerns. Fortunately, no injuries or loss of life have been reported.
Operationally, the extraction at the mine is suspended. The order does not impose any fines or penalties on the company. The company has provided the details as required under Regulation 30 read with the SEBI Master Circular for compliance with Listing Regulations.
