CIL Pays Rs 609.6B to Exchequer in FY25, March Payout Falls 4.7 per cent

Coal India Ltd (CIL) paid Rs 58.32 billion to the government exchequer in March 2025, marking a 4.7 per cent decline compared to Rs 61.26 billion in the same month last year. Despite the monthly dip, CIL’s total contribution to the exchequer for FY25 stood at Rs 609.59 billion — a marginal increase of 1.2 per cent over the Rs 601.97 billion paid in FY24, according to provisional government data.

Of the total payments made in FY25, Jharkhand received the highest share at Rs 140.47 billion, followed by Odisha (Rs 129.79 billion), Madhya Pradesh (Rs 113.51 billion), and Chhattisgarh (Rs 113.03 billion). Revenues were primarily generated through royalties, District Mineral Foundation (DMF) contributions, and the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET).

Coal-producing states continue to benefit significantly from CIL’s operations, with the sector contributing notably to regional economic growth.

In terms of output, CIL produced 781.1 million tonnes (MT) of coal in FY25 — about 7 per cent below its target of 838 MT. However, production rose slightly year-on-year, with a 1 per cent increase over FY24.

Looking ahead, the company has set an ambitious production target of 875 MT for FY26, alongside an offtake goal of 900 MT.
