MUMBAI (NewsRise) -- State-owned Coal India reported its first fall in monthly shipments in two years in December as the world's largest producer of the fuel grappled with logistic challenges.

The company's shipments dropped 1.2% on-year to 52.8 million last month, while output fell less than 1% to 54.1 million tons, Coal India said in a stock exchange filing.
