- Net profit jumped 54% to ₹116.27 crore from ₹75.56 crore a year ago.
- Revenue stood at ₹481.37 crore; total income including other income was ₹504.02 crore.
- Board declared first interim dividend of ₹1.05 per share for FY27, record date 24 July 2026.
- Auditor noted ₹114.81 crore in old outstanding balances from Coal India and subsidiaries pending over a year.
Why this matters
CMPDI delivered a sharp earnings beat with profit up 54%, but the ₹114.81 crore in aged receivables from its parent Coal India and group firms is a persistent drag. The dividend is modest: paying out about ₹75 crore vs a ₹17,766 crore market cap. The open question is whether those dues get resolved.
What we're watching
- Any update on the ₹114.81 crore outstanding from Coal India group.
- Whether the profit margin improvement sustains given the consultancy nature of business.
- Further dividend or buyback announcements given strong cash generation.
The full read
CMPDI, the Coal India consultancy arm, posted a 54% jump in Q1 net profit to ₹116.27 crore — a strong start to the year. Revenue came in at ₹481.37 crore and the board rewarded shareholders with a ₹1.05 interim dividend. But the auditor's limited review carried a catch: ₹114.81 crore in receivables from Coal India and its subsidiaries have been outstanding for over a year. That's more than CMPDI's entire quarterly profit. For a zero-debt company with a 29x P/E, the profit progress is real. The open question is whether that old money ever comes in.
