The Rs.424 analyst consensus implies modest downside from current levels, while Geojit&#8217;s bull case of Rs.506 offers 12% upside. For conservative, income-focused investors, Coal India remains one of the most reliable dividend-paying large-caps in India. Watch Q4 FY26 e-auction realisation data \u2014 if premiums hold above 30%, the Rs.476-506 range is achievable by June 2026.<\/p><p>This article is for informational and educational purposes only.
