Coal India’s Coal Supplies to Power Sector Rise 5.9% in June FY27

Coal India Limited (CIL) supplied 51.44 million tonnes (MT) of coal to power plants in June FY27, recording a 5.9% year-on-year increase from 48.57 MT supplied in the same month last year.

The higher dispatches were driven by rising electricity demand during the peak summer season.

Power Sector Supplies Rise in the First Quarter

During the first quarter (Q1) of FY27, Coal India supplied 154.75 MT of coal to the power sector, compared with 151.93 MT in the corresponding period of FY26. This represents a 1.8% increase on a year-on-year basis.

Overall Coal Dispatches Continue to Grow

Coal India's overall coal supplies rose 7.5% to 65.8 MT in June FY27, up from 61.2 MT in June last year.

For the April–June quarter, total coal supplies reached 197.7 MT, registering a 3.5% increase compared with 191 MT supplied during the same period of the previous financial year.

Non-Regulated Sector Records Strong Demand

Coal dispatches to the non-regulated sector also witnessed strong growth.

• In June FY27, supplies increased 14.8% to 14.50 MT, compared with 12.63 MT in June last year.
• During Q1 FY27, supplies to the sector rose 10% to 43.10 MT, up from 39.02 MT in the corresponding quarter of FY26. 

Inventory Reduction and Better Logistics

The higher dispatches enabled Coal India to reduce its pithead coal stock by 28.3 MT during the first quarter of FY27.

The company said the reduction was part of its strategy to improve inventory turnover, lower carrying costs and make the supply chain more efficient. It also reflects Coal India's shift towards a demand-driven operating model that aligns production with customer requirements while gradually reducing excess stock.

Coal India also strengthened its logistics network during the quarter. Coal supplies through its First Mile Connectivity (FMC) infrastructure increased 23% year-on-year to 66.76 MT, highlighting continued improvements in coal evacuation and operational efficiency.

On Track to Meet FY27 Targets

Coal India said it remains focused on achieving its targets for the current financial year. The company aims to produce 815 MT of coal and supply 850 MT during FY27.
