In the first half of 2026, companies of DCH Group paid UAH 1,259.75 million in taxes and other mandatory payments. This is UAH 11.32 million, or 0.9%, less than in the same period of 2025. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the total amount of taxes and other mandatory payments made by DCH Group companies has exceeded UAH 10 billion.
The dynamics of tax payments were affected by the consequences of the full-scale war, the destruction of industrial facilities, and the forced reduction in production at certain enterprises.

Industry
In the first half of 2026, Sukha Balka mine maintained a stable production pace, expanded its raw material base, improved energy efficiency, upgraded equipment, and implemented maintenance and repair projects. The mine’s workers prepared seven new blocks for development and extraction, with total reserves of 468,000 tonnes of ore.
At the same time, government officials continue to block the payment to the enterprise of UAH 357.9 million in approved VAT budget reimbursement, depriving the mine of working capital and creating risks for the timely payment of wages, settlements for energy resources, and uninterrupted operations. The company’s workforce appealed to the authorities, asking them to unblock the return of the funds.

The inspection confirmed that the system complies with the requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation; the certificate has been extended for another year.
