State-owned NMDC and SAIL will report no material earnings benefit from India's MMDR Amendment Bill in their Q2 and Q3 FY27 results, despite investor enthusiasm.

Outcome

Unresolved

The bill only restricts future state levies pending a central cap yet to be notified, and explicitly shields already-collected dues from refund, so Jharkhand's ₹400-per-tonne iron-ore levy on SAIL and any Karnataka-style charges on NMDC keep flowing until the executive rules actually land.
