Coal India, the largest coal producer globally, announced that its board of directors will convene on April 27, 2026, to review the audited financial results for the March quarter (Q4 FY26) and discuss the final dividend for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. Analysts are forecasting a challenging quarter for the company, with expectations of an 8.7% decline in adjusted EBITDA to ₹102.5 billion due to weak production and dispatch figures. Production saw a slight increase of 0.5%, reaching 238.9 million tonnes (mt), while dispatches decreased by 1.1% to 199.1 mt, attributed to market share losses to merchant miners. The brokerage firm Systematix Institutional Equities predicts a 4% year-on-year decline in EBITDA for Q4 FY26, with revenue and net profit expected to drop by 9% and 1%, respectively. Despite recent recovery in share price, which surged 23% to ₹464.85 since November 2025, Coal India remains 14.54% below its record peak of ₹543 from August 2024. The company’s previous quarter results showed a net profit of ₹7,165 crore, down from ₹8,491 crore year-on-year, impacted by lower sales and higher operating costs.
