Development of the freight corridor linking Surat in Gujarat and Dankuni in West Bengal (WB) is a will increase business and employment opportunities for people in WB. From April 1, 2011, to March 31, 2025, 6688 companies have left WB for poor infrastructure, weak land acquisition policies, and rampant extortion through ‘cut-money’. Niti Ayog Report (2025) showed that the annual unemployment rate in the state is 2.2 per cent, the female labour force participation rate is 33.8 per cent, which is lower than the national average, and the per capita income is 20 per cent below the national per capita income. The Varanasi- Siliguri connector will be a major source of commerce and growth of industries. Siliguri, which is still considered a tier 2 city, will get a boost in its economy. Siliguri is a connecting city between the southern and northern parts of WB. North Bengal is reeling under a lack of development and incentives for the growth of agriculture and industry. This move will help in increasing tourism in North Bengal, where rail and road connectivity are in an adverse condition. This will also reduce economic dependence on Kolkata as a major centre for commerce and control problems of migration. East Coast Industrial node The East Coast Industrial corridor with a ‘well-connected node’ in Durgapur city is a welcome move for WB. Durgapur, as an industrial node, was first realised by Dr Bidhan Chandra Ray in the 1950s. Durgapur, located on the banks of the Damodar River, evolved from an 18th century forest settlement named Gopinathpur. This is the only city in eastern India which has an operational dry dock, and is called the ‘Steel backbone of Industrial Bengal’. A hub of some of the major steel plants, Durgapur forms a major industrial centre for revenue generation. The Durgapur Projects Ltd. itself generated a revenue of Rs 1313.35 crore in FY 2023. India’s Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) are projected to contribute to Rs. 16,000 crore to the nation’s GDP. The launch of Western DFC (WDFC) has already reduced freight costs and travel times. This has significantly lowered commodity prices by 0.5 per cent. From FY 2018-19 to FY 2022-23, handling over 10 per cent of the country’s rail freight, DFC’s contributed to 2.94 per cent to Indian Railways’ revenue growth. The existing 2843-kilometre DFC project spans across 56 districts and seven states. The Eastern DFC (EDFC), which includes 1337 km, runs from Ludhiana in Punjab to Sonnagar in Bihar. The WDFC, which connects Dadri to Mumbai, covers 1506 km. The new proposition will not only boost investment and development in WB, but also help in connecting major coal fields in the Eastern Industrial Corridor. This will also increase sustainability, as these rail corridors reduce major CO2 emissions from roadways.

The National Fibre Scheme includes a couple of measures to achieve self-reliance in textile production. Textile expansion and employment through capital support for machinery; technology upgradation, developing common testing and certification centres; development of National Handloom and Handicraft to integrate and support weavers and artisans; introduction of Samarth 2.0 to modernize and upgrade textile skilling through industry and academic institution collaboration; building of Mega Textile Parks and developing Tex Eco initiative to promote competitive and sustainable textile at global level; and modernising textile clusters are some of the initiatives proposed through the scheme. The dire state of jute factories can be revived with the help of this scheme. At present, approximately 17 jute mills have been shut, and 50,000-60,000 workers face an unemployment situation in jute-growing regions. Around 3 lakh workers are directly employed in WB’s jute mills, and almost 35 lakh people are indirectly dependent on the jute industry. Initiatives to revive the jute industry since decades have not been taken. In the 1880s, Bengal contributed to 80 per cent of the world’s jute production. In 1947, five jute mills were shut, increasing the jute prices from Rs 16 (1945-46) to Rs. 29 (1946-47) per maund. In the 1990s, jute labourers were deprived of Provident Fund (PF), gratuity, ESI, and their wages amounted to merely between Rs. 619-660. From 1978-2007, jute factories started closing in demand for stable working conditions and wages. However, since then, the situation has not yet changed. By 2011, 15 more mills were shut. The proposition on the National Fibre Scheme can help in the sustainable revival of this industry by diversifying, making it globally competitive and generating employment.

Rebrands to Cipher Digital to Reflect Strategic Shift Toward HPCDivested 49% Stake in Alborz, Bear, and Chief Mining SitesSecured Full Funding for Existing Data Center Developments Through High-Yield Bond OfferingsData Center Development on Track at Barber Lake and Black PearlNEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cipher Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) ("Cipher" or the "Company") today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, with an update on its operations and business strategy."Building on a transformative 2025, the fourth quarter reflected continued momentum as we advanced our evolution into a leading HPC data center development company," said Tyler Page, Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, we upsized our initial lease with Fluidstack and Google and signed our first HPC lease with Amazon. In addition, we successfully executed multiple high yield bond offerings to finance two of our existing HPC projects at Barber Lake and Black Pearl. In recognition of this successful shift in our business model and strategic priorities going forward, we are proud to now officially operate as Cipher Digital."The rebrand to Cipher Digital reflects the Company's full strategic transition toward a business model centered on stable, long-duration cash flows and long-term leases with best-in-class hyperscale customers. Cipher is focused on sourcing and securing power, developing advanced data centers purpose-built for HPC workloads, and leasing capacity to the world's leading technology companies. While bitcoin mining played a foundational role in building Cipher's power origination expertise and large-scale development capabilities, the Company's identity has evolved to focus on enabling next-generation compute at industrial scale.In line with this new direction, Cipher sold its 49% interest in the three 40 MW joint venture sites, Alborz, Bear, and Chief, as well as select bitcoin mining machines previously deployed at Black Pearl. These non-core assets were acquired by Canaan Inc., a vertically integrated innovator in crypto mining, for approximately $40 million in an all-stock transaction. This transaction allows Cipher to simplify the business structure, maintain optimized exposure to the bitcoin mining industry in a capital-light manner, and accelerate the strategic transition.In addition, the Company successfully executed three high-yield offerings to finance the construction at Barber Lake and Black Pearl. In the first transaction, Cipher raised $1.4 billion in aggregate principal of senior secured notes at 7.125%. Subsequently, the Company offered $333 million in additional aggregate principal at the same rate, bringing the total size of the financing for Barber Lake to $1.73 billion. The third high-yield offering raised $2.0 billion in aggregate principal of senior secured notes at 6.125%, with the substantially lower rate reflecting the Company's continued maturation and strong investor confidence.With financing secured, the Company has cleared another major hurdle in the execution of these large-scale projects. Cipher is now fully focused on the construction and delivery of Barber Lake and Black Pearl, both of which remain on schedule, supported by our best-in-class construction team."2026 is a year of execution for Cipher as we fully transition the business into a leading infrastructure platform. With construction on track at our existing projects, a deep and expanding development pipeline, and heightened demand from both capital providers and tenants, we are firmly focused on establishing Cipher Digital as the premier developer and operator of data centers powering the next generation of compute," added Mr. Page.Finance and Operations HighlightsRebranded from Cipher Mining to Cipher Digital, reflecting the Company's pivot from bitcoin mining to HPC data center developmentSecured 600 MW gross of total contracted HPC capacity to date across two leases, a 15-year 300 MW lease with AWS and a 10-year 300 MW lease with Fluidstack and GoogleCompleted three bond offerings to finance HPC data center buildouts for aggregate proceeds of $3.73 billionBarber Lake data center development is progressing on track with ~95% of long lead equipment secured and all current design milestones achievedBlack Pearl data center development is on schedule, with engineering, procurement, and construction activities underwayQ4 2025 Revenue of $60 million and Adjusted Net Loss of $55 millionBusiness Update Call and WebcastThe live webcast and a webcast replay of the conference call can be accessed from the investor relations section of Cipher's website at https://investors.cipherdigital.com/.About CipherCipher develops and operates industrial-scale data centers engineered for next-generation computing at the highest standards of innovation, precision, and excellence.

These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate our business performance and to help make operating decisions. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of our operating results to those of our competitors by excluding certain items that vary in our industry based on company policy.Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For example, we expect that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers and directors. Similarly, we expect that depreciation and amortization will continue to be a recurring expense over the term of the useful life of the related assets. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in our Annual Report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We rely primarily on such consolidated financial statements to understand, manage and evaluate our business performance and use the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.Contacts:Investor Contact:Courtney KnightHead of Investor Relations at Cipher Digital
