CMPDI Reports ₹2,316 Crore Revenue for FY26; Annual Profit Stands at ₹613 Crore

Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited (CMPDI), a premier consultancy subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has announced its audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The company maintained its position as a key technical backbone for the Indian coal sector, recording steady operational revenue growth despite rising employee benefit costs.

As a government-owned consultancy, CMPDI continues to play a vital role in mine planning, exploration, and environmental management for the nation's energy security.

Annual Financial Performance (FY26 vs. FY25)

The full-year results reflect a scale-up in operational activity, though profitability saw a slight contraction due to higher provisioning for employee benefits:

Revenue from Operations: Grew to ₹2,316.53 crore, a 10.2% increase from the ₹2,102.76 crore recorded in FY25.

Profit After Tax (PAT): Reported at ₹613.18 crore for the year, compared to ₹666.91 crore in the previous fiscal.

Total Income: Surpassed the ₹2,300 crore mark to reach ₹2,397.45 crore, bolstered by other income of ₹80.92 crore.

Earnings Per Share (EPS): Basic and Diluted EPS for the year stood at ₹8.59 (Face Value of ₹2 each).

Quarterly Momentum (Q4FY26)

The final quarter of the fiscal year saw a massive seasonal ramp-up in billings:

Quarterly Revenue: Jumped to ₹826.88 crore in Q4, a significant sequential growth of 56% over the ₹528.53 crore recorded in Q3FY26.

Quarterly Profit: Net profit for the March quarter stood at ₹187.82 crore, maintaining strong profitability margins.

Expense Profile & Operational Drivers

The company's cost structure is heavily dominated by its professional workforce:

Employee Benefits Expense: Rose to ₹745.01 crore annually (from ₹608.67 crore in FY25). The sharp rise in the final quarter (₹289.26 crore) suggests year-end adjustments or provisions for revised pay scales.

Financial Strength: CMPDI remains a virtually debt-free entity, with annual finance costs totaling a negligible ₹0.08 crore.

Key Strategic Focus Areas:

Exploration & Drilling: Extensive core drilling and geophysical logging to identify new coal blocks.

Mine Planning: Developing high-capacity open-cast and underground mine designs for Coal India.

Green Energy: Expanding consultancy services into solar power planning and coal-to-chemical projects.
