Coal India Limited (CIL) just had a standout October 2026, boosting its coal production by 19.3% compared to last year.

Coal India subsidiaries lift output

A lot of this growth comes from CIL's subsidiaries stepping up their game.

Western Coalfields led with a massive 64.7% jump in output, while Central and Eastern Coalfields both saw solid increases of over 25%.

Mahanadi Coalfields also grew by about one-fourth, though Northern Coalfields slipped slightly this time around.

Overall, most regions helped push CIL's numbers higher in October.
