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.

State-owned CIL is looking at lithium blocks in Australia and Argentina, company's Chairman P M Prasad said on Wednesday. Speaking on the sidelines of the 11th Asian Mining Congress and the 11th International Mining Exhibition, Prasad said Coal India Ltd (CIL) is targetting a production of 875 million tonnes (MT) and offtake of 900 MT in the 2025-26 fiscal year. The company accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal production. Prasad further said the Rs 10 per tonne price hike for both coking and non-coking coal with effect from April 16 will have minor impact on the company's revenue. CIL's pithead stock as on March 31, 2025 was 106 million tonnes, the highest so far. CIL's foray into critical minerals is driven by the need to reduce its reliance on coal and align with global trends prioritising these minerals for clean energy technologies.
State-owned Coal India Ltd on Tuesday said its board has approved a Rs 10 per tonne increase in the prices of both coking and non-coking coal with effect from April 16. "CIL board at its meeting held on date, inter alia approved enhancement of notified price of coal by Rs 10 per ton i.e from existing Rs 10 per ton to Rs 20 per ton for non-coking and Rs 10 per ton for coking coal for regulated and non-regulated sectors across CIL towards contribution to the corpus of CMPS-1998," it said. This price adjustment is aimed at contributing to the corpus of Coal Mines Pension Scheme (CMPS)-1998 and is likely to impact both regulated and non-regulated sectors, potentially affecting the company's revenue and market positioning, according to a company official. Coal India Ltd (CIL) accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output. Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL), a subsidiary of Coal India, had in November last year announced increase in add-on price of coal in Rajmahal area of Jharkhand to
