what happened
State-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) said on Sunday, November 1, that provisional coal output in October 2026 rose 19.3% year on year to 67.2 million tonnes, from 56.4 million tonnes a year earlier. Coal offtake climbed 18.7% to 70.3 million tonnes from 59.2 million tonnes.
For April to October of fiscal 2026/27, cumulative production reached 388.2 million tonnes, up 0.7% from 385.5 million tonnes a year earlier. Cumulative offtake over the same seven months rose 9.2% to 454.6 million tonnes.
Western Coalfields Limited posted the fastest October output growth among subsidiaries, up 64.7% to 5.9 million tonnes. Northern Coalfields was the only major unit to decline, with output down 4.3% to 11.4 million tonnes.
why it matters
The October gains in output and offtake point to firm demand for Indian coal and steady operations across the group. Still, cumulative production over seven months barely moved, and Coal India shares closed at 389.45 rupees on the BSE on Friday, October 30, down 1.03%.
