New Delhi, May 7 State-owned Coal India Ltd on Wednesday reported that its consolidated net profit rose 12 percent to Rs 9,604.02 crore in the quarter ended March 2025. This was due to a rise in income.
Coal India Ltd (CIL) said in a filing to BSE that the company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 8,572.14 crore in the same quarter a year ago.
Total income during the January-March period rose to Rs 41,761.76 crore from Rs 40,457.59 crore a year ago, the filing said.
The company said Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd’s (MCL) IB Valley coal washery, with a capacity of 10 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), which started its operations in April last year, has become the country’s largest non-coking coal washery.
The company said the facility has already generated additional revenue of Rs 314 crore, reinforcing the value of modernisation of infrastructure.
“Profit before tax (PBT) for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased significantly to Rs 12,873.19 crore, showing a year-on-year growth of 11 per cent from Rs 11,581.57 crore in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal,” the coal giant said.
However, the company’s consolidated net profit for the year ended March 31, 2025 declined to Rs 35,358.16 crore from Rs 37,402.29 crore for the year ended March 31, 2024.
The consolidated total income of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025 remained almost stable at Rs 1,52,838.98 crore from Rs 152,731.50 crore for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Capital expenditure of the Company during the year ended March 31, 2025 declined to Rs 19,410.02 crore as against Rs 23,475.41 crore for the previous fiscal.
CIL contributed Rs 60,959.52 crore to the exchequer during 2024-25.
The Board of the Company has recommended a final dividend of Rs 5.15 per share for 2024-25, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the AGM.
In addition, an interim dividend of Rs 21.35 per share has been paid for the year. “This will take the total dividend for the financial year 2024-25 to Rs 26.50 per share, which is 265 percent of the face value,” the company said.
The total dividend for 2024-25 is Rs 1 per share higher than the dividend of Rs 25.50 per share for 2023-24, the company said. CIL contributes over 80 per cent to domestic coal production. Coal India’s production in April stood at around 62.1 million tonnes (MT). It had produced 61.8 MT of coal in the same period a year ago.
In the financial year 2024-25, CIL produced 781.1 MT of coal, which is about seven per cent less than the company’s target for the financial year. CIL’s coal production target for 2024-25 was 838 million tonnes. Coal India Limited has set a target of 875 million tonnes production and 900 metric tonnes offtake in the financial year 2025-26.
