The Quarter story

The two most recent quarterly results, compared side-by-side.

Coal India drives volume growth and strong cash generation, but faces margin pressure from lower coal prices and rising operational costs.

Revenue from Operations grew from ₹35,842 Cr to ₹46,255 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — strong top-line expansion driven by steady volumes.

Average Realization declined from ₹1,673 to ₹1,594.96 from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — pricing pressure weighing on per-unit revenue.

Sales Quantity rebounded from 190.59 MT to 198.23 MT from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — consistent dispatch capacity across segments.

Net Profit Margin dipped from 27% to 19% from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — margin compression due to lower realizations and higher costs.

Current Ratio improved from 1.56x to 1.90x from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — strengthening liquidity and short-term financial health.

Other Expenses spiked from ₹2,868 Cr to ₹11,658 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — unusual operational outflows impacting the bottom line.

Gross Trade Receivables fell from ₹17,356 Cr to ₹15,834 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — faster cash collections reducing working capital strain.

Stripping Activity Adjustment worsened from -₹1,395 Cr to -₹1,830 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — rising mining preparation costs.

EBITDA climbed from ₹13,165 Cr to ₹14,349 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — robust cash generation despite seasonal production dips.

BCCL Profit After Tax turned from ₹177 Cr to -₹68 Cr from Q1 FY26 to Q1 FY27 — persistent losses in a key subsidiary.
