Western Coalfields Limited (WCL), a key subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has achieved a historic milestone by recording its highest-ever Profit Before Tax (PBT) since inception. For FY 2024–25, the company reported a PBT of ₹4375.55 crore, surpassing last year’s ₹4181.67 crore with a growth of 4.64%. This financial leap is attributed to record coal output, strategic mine expansions, digital upgrades, and consistent demand from both power and non-power sectors.
According to Director (Finance) Bikram Ghosh, the achievement reflects the company’s unwavering focus on operational excellence and energy security. As India advances toward its coal production goal of 1 billion tonnes annually by 2030, WCL’s contribution is set to play a vital role. Operating 47+ mines across Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh and employing over 32,000 people, WCL continues to embed sustainability into its growth strategy through eco-friendly mining and green development initiatives.
