Coal India reported that its eco-friendly coal transportation through First Mile Connectivity (FMC) projects rose 34% year-on-year in FY 2025 to 102.5 million tonnes, up from 76.5 MT in FY 2024, using 20 operational FMC projects connected to the Indian Railway network versus 17 earlier. In the current FY up to May, FMC-based coal movement grew 36.7% compared to the same period last year. The company plans to commission 19 more FMC projects with nearly 150 MT/year capacity in FY 2026, and a total of 92 FMC projects with 994 MT/year capacity by FY 2029, aligning with its target of 1 billion tonne coal production by FY 2029. FMC replaces truck-based coal transport with automated, conveyor-belt-based loading, reducing dust, noise, emissions and under-loading charges (which dropped 5% in FY 2025). A pilot at Gevra showed around 84% reduction in particulate matter emissions versus traditional pay-loader loading.
This is a positive operational and ESG update for shareholders — it signals improving logistics efficiency, lower under-loading penalties, and progress toward CIL's 1 billion tonne FY 2029 target. No direct financial figure or dividend action is announced, so near-term stock impact may be limited, but the story strengthens CIL's sustainability profile and execution credibility.
