Shares of Coal India Ltd moved higher by over 2% after the company reported its financial results for the March quarter of FY26, reflecting steady year-on-year growth in both revenue and profitability.
The state-run miner posted a net profit of ₹10,839 crore in Q4 FY26, marking an increase of 11.15% compared to ₹9,751.6 crore in the same period last year. The rise in profit was supported by stable operational performance and improved earnings during the quarter.
Revenue from operations came in at ₹46,490 crore, up 5.8% from ₹43,961 crore in Q4 FY25. The growth indicates consistent demand conditions and a relatively stable pricing environment for coal over the period.
At the operating level, EBITDA rose 6.2% year-on-year to ₹12,673.2 crore, compared to ₹11,932 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. However, the EBITDA margin remained unchanged at 27%, suggesting that higher costs offset gains from increased revenue.
The overall performance points to stable execution by Coal India, with margins holding steady despite cost pressures and a moderate growth environment.
Alongside its earnings, the company’s board recommended a final dividend of ₹5.25 per equity share for FY26. The dividend proposal is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
