The announcement details record-breaking operational performance in coal supplies, production, and logistics, indicating strong business performance and achievement of key operational targets.
Coal India Limited (CIL) has achieved a landmark operational performance in October FY 2026-27, recording its highest-ever monthly coal supplies and supplies to the power sector. The company's coal production also reached its highest-ever levels for the month of October across all financial years. These achievements are particularly significant given the need to increase coal stocks at thermal power plants due to rising power demand, despite challenges posed by unseasonal rainfall, festive periods, and cyclone impacts.
CIL's monthly coal supplies surpassed the 70 million tonnes (MT) mark for the first time, reaching 70.3 MT, exceeding the previous record of 69.4 MT in March 2026. This represents a substantial 19% growth compared to the 59.2 MT supplied in October FY 2025-26. CIL's subsidiary, MCL, also achieved a record by crossing the 20 MT monthly supply mark in October.
Supplies to the power sector also hit a historic high, reaching 57.1 MT in October FY 2026-27, a 19% increase from the 48 MT supplied in October FY 2025-26. This demonstrates CIL's strengthened capacity to meet the demands of thermal power plants. Furthermore, CIL recorded its highest-ever monthly average daily rake loading for the power sector, with 310 rakes per day in October FY 2026-27, surpassing the previous record of 302.8 rakes per day in March 2025.
Coal production in October FY 2026-27 reached 67.2 MT, setting a new record for the month and exceeding the previous October high of 62.47 MT in October 2024. This figure is approximately 19% higher than the 56.38 MT produced in October FY 2025-26, indicating a significant acceleration in mining activities post-monsoon. The company anticipates stock accretion at both power plants and pit heads due to the synchronized growth in production and offtake.
