Operational Efficiency
The higher supplies enabled Coal India to liquidate 28.3 million tonnes of pithead coal stock during Q1 FY27. The reduction in pithead stock was a conscious business decision aimed at improving inventory turnover, reducing carrying costs, and enhancing supply chain efficiency. This strategy marks a shift from a purely volume-driven approach to a value-driven and demand-responsive operating model.
Further strengthening its logistics network, Coal India recorded a 23% growth in coal supplies through its first-mile connectivity (FMC) infrastructure during Q1 FY27. Supplies through FMC reached 66.76 million tonnes, reflecting continued progress in enhancing evacuation infrastructure. The company is progressing towards its production target of 815 million tonnes and supply target of 850 million tonnes for FY27.
