Coal India's second interim dividend likely to be Rs 4-5 per share

Coal India's second interim dividend could be in the range of Rs 4-5 per share as it is working to match the previous year's total dividend amid an outstanding of Rs 25,000 crore, coupled with sluggish demand, sources said. The miner had announced Rs 7.5 per share as the first interim dividend in November. Coal India is slated to meet on March 5 as it mulls to pay a second interim dividend.
