Coal India Limited (CIL) has reported a 6.4% increase in its contribution to the government exchequer, reaching Rs 60,140 crore during the fiscal year 2024. This surge in revenue reflects the company's continued role as a significant contributor to government finances, bolstering economic stability and funding key development initiatives.
