Our Company was incorporated on June 22, 1962 as a public limited
 company with the RoC under the name 
 Manganese Ore (India) Limited under the provisions of the Companies
 Act. Subsequently, the name of our 
 Company was changed from Manganese Ore (India) Limited to MOIL
 Limited and a fresh certificate of 
 incorporation consequent upon change of name was issued by the RoC on
 August 17, 2010. This name change was 
 deemed appropriate on the basis that our Company is better known
 within the industry, to its customers and the 
 general public as MOIL.  
  
 In 1896, a British company by the name of Central Provinces
 Prospecting Syndicate was set up. In 1924, it changed 
 its name to the Central Provinces Manganese Ore Company Limited
 (CPMO). CPMO ran extensive mining 
 operations for manganese ore within the present-day state of Madhya
 Pradesh prior to Indian independence.  
  
 Our Company was set up pursuant to an agreement dated June 8, 1962
 between the GoI and CPMO (the 1962 
 Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, our Company was
 incorporated and certain assets of CPMO 
 were transferred to us in return for 49% of Equity Shares of our
 Company. Our Company was incorporated with a 
 view to  inter alia, obtain and work mining leases for manganese ore
 over the Nagpur, Dongri Buzurg and other 
 areas.  
  
  In 1977, CPMO ceased its involvement with our Company following a
 sale of its entire shareholding and certain 
 other properties and assets associated with our operations to the
 Government of India, for an aggregate consideration 
 of ` 15,067,758 pursuant to an agreement dated September 21, 1977,
 (the 1977 Agreement). The transfer of all 
 these assets, both movable and immovable was made free from any and
 all liens, encumbrances, lis-pendens, 
 charges and hypothecation.
 
 The Government of India vide letter dated September 21, 1977 had
 nominated our Company as the recipient of the 
 assets transferred by CPMO under the 1977 Agreement.
