Coal India Announces Board Meeting for Third Quarter Financial Results and Dividend Consideration
The state-owned mining giant Coal India Limited has officially notified the stock exchanges about an upcoming board meeting scheduled for Thursday, February 12, 2026. The primary agenda of this meeting will be to review, approve, and take on record the un-audited financial results for the third quarter and the nine-month period ending December 31, 2025.
Key Agenda Items for the Board Meeting
According to the exchange filing made on January 29, 2026, the board will deliberate on two major items:
- Financial Results Approval: The board will consider the standalone and consolidated financial results for Q3 FY 2025-26, which have been reviewed by the Audit Committee.
- Interim Dividend Declaration: The board may also declare a third interim dividend for the financial year 2025-26, subject to approval.
The company has clarified that the trading window for designated persons will reopen on February 16, 2026, following the announcement of the results.
Recent Financial Performance and Production Trends
Coal India's recent quarterly results have shown some challenges. For the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, the company reported:
- A 30% year-on-year decline in net profit, falling to ₹4,263 crore from ₹6,274.8 crore in the same period last year.
- Revenue from operations decreased by 3.2% to ₹30,186.7 crore.
- EBITDA dropped by 22% to ₹6,716 crore, while total expenses rose by 7% to ₹26,421.86 crore.
In terms of production, Coal India, which accounts for over 80% of India's coal output, saw a 3.9% decline in production to 48.97 million tonnes in September 2025 compared to the previous year. This drop occurs despite the government's efforts to boost domestic coal production and reduce import reliance.
Dividend History and Share Price Performance
Coal India has a history of rewarding shareholders with dividends. The company previously declared a second interim dividend of ₹10.25 per share for FY 2025-26, with a record date of November 4, 2025.
The company's stock has demonstrated resilience in the market. On January 30, 2026, Coal India's share price fell by 3.51% to ₹439.75, but it has shown positive trends over various time frames:
- Short-term: The stock has gained over 4% in the past five sessions and 11% in one month.
- Medium-term: It has delivered 16% returns over six months.
- Long-term: The stock has surged by an impressive 249.29% over five years, making it a multibagger.
