December Production Data Anchors Sentiment
The positive price action coincided with Coal India’s operational update for December 2025 and the April to December 2025 period, which underscored steady execution at the consolidated level.For December 2025, Coal India reported coal production of 75.7 million tonnes, up from 72.4 million tonnes in the same month last year, translating into a 4.6 percent year-on-year growth. The improvement in monthly production helped offset concerns around moderation seen in cumulative numbers.
Coal offtake for December stood at 64.9 million tonnes, marginally lower on a year-on-year basis, reflecting demand-side adjustments across consuming sectors.
On a cumulative basis, for the April to December 2025 period, production was reported at 529.2 million tonnes, compared with 543.4 million tonnes in the corresponding period last year. Offtake during the period stood at 544.7 million tonnes, broadly in line with last year’s levels.
Market participants appeared to focus on the month-on-month stability and the December year-on-year production growth, viewing it as a signal of operational resilience despite sector-wide fluctuations.
