Coal India Ltd. ( (IN:COALINDIA) ) has provided an update.

Coal India Limited reported provisional coal production of 79.8 million tonnes in January 2026, a 2.6% increase over the same month last year, supported particularly by strong double‑digit growth at South Eastern Coalfields Limited. However, cumulative production for April 2025 to January 2026 slipped 2% year-on-year to 609 million tonnes, with several subsidiaries, notably BCCL, WCL and CCL, showing declines over the period. Off-take performance weakened more visibly: total sales in January 2026 fell 4.7% year-on-year to 66.3 million tonnes, and cumulative off-take for April 2025 to January 2026 declined 3% to 612.1 million tonnes, reflecting softer demand or logistical constraints across most subsidiaries. The divergence between rising monthly output and contracting off-take suggests emerging inventory and demand-side pressures that could influence CIL’s supply planning, cash flows and its near-term positioning in India’s coal and power markets.
