Coal India’s June Output Drops 8.5% YoY Amid Monsoon Disruptions; Subsidiaries Also See Decline
By Vizzve Finacr | Indexed by Google in 34 minutes | Trending under “Coal India June Output Drop” – July 1, 2025
Coal India Ltd (CIL), the world’s largest coal-producing company, reported an 8.5% year-on-year (YoY) decline in June 2025 output, primarily due to disruptions caused by early monsoon rains. The state-owned miner produced 47.3 million tonnes (MT) of coal in June, compared to 51.7 MT in June 2024.
🌧️ Why the Drop?
The drop in production is largely attributed to heavy rainfall and waterlogging in key mining zones, particularly in Jharkhand, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh, affecting both open-cast and underground operations.
“June is seasonally a challenging month due to the onset of monsoon, but this year’s early and intense showers made it worse,” said a Coal India official.
📉 Subsidiary-Wise Performance
All major subsidiaries witnessed a YoY dip in output:
| Subsidiary | YoY Change |
|---|---|
| Mahanadi Coalfields (MCL) | -7.8% |
| South Eastern Coalfields | -9.1% |
| Northern Coalfields (NCL) | -8.3% |
| Western Coalfields (WCL) | -8.9% |
| Eastern Coalfields (ECL) | -10.2% |
🔋 Power Sector Impact
Despite the drop, Coal India maintained steady dispatches to power plants, minimizing the risk of blackouts during high-demand summer months. However, continued rainfall could pressure July inventory levels.
🏗️ Mitigation Measures
Use of advanced dewatering pumps
Real-time weather data analytics to reschedule operations
Focus on overburden removal during dry months
Coal stockpile reserves being maintained above 75 million tonnes
