Coal India Q4 Profit Rises 11-12%; Declares Rs 5.25 Final Dividend

Coal India reported a 11-12% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for Q4 FY26, reaching around Rs 10,839-10,908 crore, driven by higher revenue, improved realizations, and increased other income. Revenue from operations grew about 6% to Rs 46,490 crore, while coal production slightly increased and offtake declined marginally. The board declared a final dividend of Rs 5.25 per share, subject to shareholder approval. However, full-year FY26 net profit fell approximately 12%, with coal production and revenue remaining largely flat compared to FY25.
