CIL now wants to be No 1 in terms of revenue

Thursday, 18 Aug 2011 | By ET

State run Coal India, which toppled Reliance Industries as the country's most valued firm, said it is aiming to become number one company of the country in the near future in terms of revenue as well.

At August 17th 2011, the Maharatna firm had a market capitalisation of INR 251,296 crore on the Bombay Stock Exchange and ahead of erstwhile leader RIL marginally by INR 4,167 crore.

Mr NC Jha chairman of CIL said that "We have already become number one public sector company and now we are working on becoming number one firm in the country, profit and turnover wise as well. It is just a matter of some years.”

Attributing the recognition of the Maharatna firm as the number one company on the bourses to its 0.382 million employees, Mr Jha said that "It has happened due to extensive efforts of all Coal Indians, who have been engaged in coal mining day and night."

The Maharatna company, incorporated in 1973 in Kolkata, had reported a 64% growth in its consolidated net profit at INR 4,143 crore during the first quarter of this fiscal vis a vis INR 2,525 crore reported in the April to June of FY'11.
