Coal India Limited (CIL), the state-owned coal mining giant, reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of FY25-26, ending 30 June 2025. The company registered a 4% year-on-year decline in consolidated revenue from operations to ₹31,880 crore. Net profit also fell sharply by 20% to ₹8,734 crore compared to ₹10,944 crore in the same period last year. The drop in earnings was attributed to reduced coal offtake, lower e-auction volumes, and increased expenses.
Revenue from Operations: ₹31,880 crore, down 4% YoY
Total Income: ₹37,458 crore, down 5% YoY
Profit Before Tax (PBT): ₹11,709 crore, down 17%

EBITDA: ₹13,165 crore, a 15% YoY drop
EBITDA Margin: Reduced to 41% from 47%

Coal Production: 191.04 MT (down 4%)
Coal Offtake: 183.32 MT (down 3%)
Overburden Removal: 507.72 M.CuM (down 5%)
Coal India’s overall performance during the quarter showed broad-based declines across major financial indicators and production metrics.
Financial performance:
Particulars | Q1 FY25-26 | Q1 FY24-25 | Change |
Net Sales (₹ Cr) | 31,880 | 33,170 | -4% |
EBITDA (₹ Cr) | 13,165 | 15,478 | -15% |
Profit Before Tax (₹ Cr) | 11,709 | 14,147 | -17% |
Profit After Tax (₹ Cr) | 8,734 | 10,944 | -20% |
Total Income (₹ Cr) | 37,458 | 39,388 | -5% |
The dip in net sales was primarily driven by reduced offtake volumes and a decline in e-auction quantities. EBITDA margins declined due to higher operational costs and lower revenue realisation.
Coal India witnessed a fall in key operating metrics across subsidiaries, reflecting a challenging operating environment.
Coal Production (in MT):
Subsidiary | Q1 FY25-26 | Q1 FY24-25 | Change |
SECL | 41.14 | 41.95 | -2% |
MCL | 51.58 | 51.84 | -0.5% |
NCL | 35.89 | 35.78 | 0.3% |
Overall CIL | 183.32 | 189.28 | -3% |

Overall CIL | 191.04 | 198.92 | -4% |

MCL | 84.49 | 87.58 | -4% |
Overall CIL | 507.72 | 532.26 | -5% |
While the broader sector faced headwinds due to lower demand and higher operational costs, analysts had anticipated a marginal decline in sales and profitability. However, Coal India’s 20% decline in PAT exceeded expectations. The fall in e-auction volumes and flat realisations underlined sector-wide pricing pressure. Inventory build-up also remains a concern, with closing stock increasing by 24% YoY to 98.94 MT.
Coal India’s management highlighted several developments during the quarter:
MoUs and Diversification:
Agreement with Hindustan Copper for collaboration in critical minerals.
MoU with UPRVUNL for a 500 MW solar project in Uttar Pradesh.
New MDO mine Kotre-Basant Pur commenced operations in April 2025.
Sustainability Focus:
Incorporated a renewable energy subsidiary, CIL Rajasthan Akshay Urja Ltd., reinforcing green energy commitment.
The leadership acknowledged the operational challenges impacting performance but remained optimistic about long-term demand recovery, productivity improvements, and diversification efforts.
