Coal India production falls 3.5% to 280.2 MT in April-August period

State-owned CIL on Monday said its production declined 3.5 per cent to 280.2 million tonnes (MT) in the April-August period of the current financial year. The company witnessed a decline in production even as the government is aiming to raise the output to reduce the import dependence. Coal India Ltd (CIL) accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output. The company's coal output was 290.4 MT in the April-August period of the previous fiscal year. Coal India subsidiaries, which registered negative growth are Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL), Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL), Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL), and Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL). However, the company's coal output was 50.4 MT last month, over 46.1 MT in August last financial year, according to the provisional data. In the financial year 2024-25, CIL produced 781.1 MT of coal, nearly 7 per cent less than the company's target for the financial year. CIL's coal production target for 2024-25 was

Coal India fined ₹10.72 lakh for non-compliance with Sebi directives

State-owned CIL on Monday said it has been fined Rs 10.72 lakh for non-compliance with SEBI norms with regard to the appointment of requisite number of independent directors on its board. Both BSE and NSE have imposed a fine of Rs 5.36 lakh each on the coal major, it said.

Non-compliance with Regulation 17 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015, primarily concerns violations of corporate governance rules, such as improper board composition e.g. lack of independent directors or failure to pass a special resolution for a non-executive director aged 75 plus or inadequate board meeting practices (failing to meet for minimum four times a year). Coal India accounts for over 80 per

State-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) on Tuesday said it has signed a pact with Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd to develop rail infrastructure for the company and its subsidiaries. CIL, which accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output, is actively strengthening its rail infrastructure to improve coal transportation. The non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between both companies in Kolkata. "Coal India Ltd and Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd have executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding on August 18, 2025...with an intent of development of rail infrastructure of CIL and its subsidiaries," the company said in a BSE filing. CIL had earlier entered into a pact with Indian Port Rail & Ropeway Corporation Ltd to develop a rail infrastructure for the coal behemoth and its arms. In FY25, CIL produced 781.1 million tonnes (MT) of coal, nearly 7 per cent less than the company's annual target of 838 MT. Coal India Ltd is targeting a production of 875 MT and

Coal India ramps up evacuation infrastructure amid weak Q1FY26 demand

Coal India Ltd (CIL) is pressing ahead with its production and evacuation infrastructure plans under its capital expenditure programme for the current fiscal, even as coal demand remained sluggish in the first quarter of FY 2025-26. The company has earmarked the largest share of Rs 5,622 crore - about 35 per cent of the total proposed Rs 16,000 crore capex in FY26 - for coal transportation and evacuation infrastructure, including rail sidings, corridors, coal handling plants, silos and roads. The investments are critical to ramp up mechanised coal evacuation capacity from the present 151 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 994 MTPA by FY 2028-29 under first mile connectivity, an official told PTI. The state-run miner, which accounts for over 75 per cent of domestic coal output, reported a decline in performance in the June quarter, with production falling 3 per cent to 183.32 million tonnes and offtake slipping 4 per cent to 191 million tonnes.

Coal India on Thursday posted an over 20 per cent fall in consolidated net profit to Rs 8,734.17 crore in the June quarter, mainly impacted by lower sales. The country's largest coal-producing company had clocked a net profit of Rs 10,943.55 crore in the April-June period of preceding 2024-25 financial year. In the first quarter, Coal India has reported a total income of Rs 37,458.05 crore, down from Rs 39,388.47 crore in the year-ago quarter. As per the company filing, its sales fell to Rs 31,880.43 crore from Rs 33,170.13 crore in the April-June quarter of FY25.

Coal India production drops by 8.5% in June, targets production of 875 MT

State-owned CIL on Tuesday said coal production dropped by 8.5 per cent to 57.8 million tonnes (MT) in June even as the government aims to increase the output to reduce the dependency on imports. The coal production by the PSU was 63.1 MT in the corresponding month of the previous fiscal, Coal India Ltd (CIL) said in a regulatory filing. The coal output by the PSU in the first three months of the current fiscal also dropped to 183.3 MT, over 189.3 MT produced in the April-June period of the previous financial year. The company, however, did not give a reason for the decline in coal production. According to industry analysts, coal production usually faces hindrances during the monsoon season. As a result the output from mines is lower, which consequently affects the dispatch to power plants. Coal offtake by the PSU also dropped by 7.4 per cent to 60.4 MT in the month of June, over 65.2 MT in the corresponding month of the previous fiscal. Coal offtake refers to the amount of coal

Environment friendly coal transportation grew by 34%, says Coal India

State-owned CIL on Thursday said environment-friendly coal transportation grew by 34 per cent year-on-year to 102.5 million tonnes in FY25. This was through 20 first mile connectivity (FMC) projects linked with the Indian Railway network. Comparatively, the same was 76.5 MTs in FY 2024 through 17 such projects, Coal India Ltd (CIL) said in a statement. Plans are on anvil to commission 19 FMC projects of nearly 150 million tonnes per year capacity during FY 2026. FMC initiative is an automated coal evacuation process which ensures eco-friendly coal transportation from pithead, in piped conveyor belts, to loading points. Key features of FMC involve constructing mechanized coal handling plants equipped with coal crushers where coal is sized, and rapid loading systems where precise quantity of quality coal is loaded into wagons avoiding over or under loading. FMC replaces truck-based transportation to railway sidings and avoids manual loading through pay loaders. This leads to reduce

Coal India's April offtake drops 1.2% to 63.4 MT from year-ago level

State-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) on Friday said its coal offtake dropped by 1.2 per cent to 63.4 million tonnes (MT) in April over the corresponding month of the previous fiscal. The offtake of the dry fuel by Coal India was at 64.2 MT in the year-ago period, the public sector undertaking said in a regulatory filing. Coal offtake refers to the volume of coal supplied from a coal pithead. It's different from coal production as it can include previously stored coal. Meanwhile, coal production by Coal India was almost flat at 62.1 million tonnes in April. It had produced 61.8 MT of coal in the year-ago period, the filing added. Coal India accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output.
