Coal India inks pact with Konkan Railway Corp Ltd to develop rail infra
CIL, which accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output, is actively strengthening its rail infrastructure to improve coal transportation.
The non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between both companies in Kolkata.
"Coal India Ltd and Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd have executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding on August 18, 2025...with an intent of development of rail infrastructure of CIL and its subsidiaries," the company said in a BSE filing.
CIL had earlier entered into a pact with Indian Port Rail & Ropeway Corporation Ltd to develop a rail infrastructure for the coal behemoth and its arms. In FY25, CIL produced 781.1 million tonnes (MT) of coal, nearly 7 per cent less than the company's annual target of 838 MT.
Coal India Ltd is targeting a production of 875 MT and an offtake of 900 MT in FY26.

Vedanta's dividend record date, as earlier communicated by the company, stands as August 27, 2025. This means only those investors whose names appear on the Register of shareholders as on the record date will be eligible to receive the said interim dividend. To be eligible for the ₹ 16 interim dividend, investors need to purchase Vedanta shares at least one day before the record date, given the T+1 settlement mechanism for the Indian stock market.

According to data from Trendlyne, Vedanta has announced an equity dividend amounting to ₹ 35.50 per share in the last 12 months.

The last dividend announced by Vedanta was ₹ 7 apiece, with the record date set as June 24, 2025. Vedanta shares ended marginally higher in trade today ahead of the dividend announcement. The large-cap stock closed 0.30% higher at ₹ 446.80 on the BSE today. Meanwhile, on the NSE, the scrip closed 0.36% higher at ₹ 447.10. Vedanta share price has remained lacklustre lately, losing 2% in the last one year while remaining flat year-to-date (YTD), up 0.54%. However, in the last two years, Vedanta's stock has gained 91% and even delivered multibagger returns over the five years to the tune of 241%. While Vedanta has rewarded shareholders with an impressive dividend, it continues to face hurdles with respect to its proposed demerger. According to media reports, the Indian government has objected to miner Vedanta's planned split into four new companies, arguing that the demerger could hinder its ability to recover dues from the company. Furthermore, the NCLT has deferred the next hearing to September 17, as per reports.
