Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL)

Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has officially disclosed key decisions made during its Board meeting held on February 13, 2026, regarding significant operational revisions. The Board has approved a proposal for the revision of Surface Transportation Charges (STC) for the sale of all coal and coal products, which is set to be effective retroactively from September 26, 2025. Additionally, the company has introduced a new cash discount scheme for raw coking coal booked through the rail mode under the CIL e-auction Scheme 2022, applicable for auctions scheduled until March 2026.

The specific revisions in transportation charges follow a distance-based lead structure: ₹172.00 per tonne for 0-3 km, ₹219.00 per tonne for 3-10 km, and ₹275.00 per tonne for 10-20 km. Furthermore, the newly approved cash discount structure offers incentives for high-volume bookings, providing ₹100 per tonne for 10 to 14 rakes, ₹150 per tonne for 15 to 19 rakes, and ₹200 per tonne for 20 or more rakes. These measures are intended to streamline logistics costs and incentivize large-scale procurement through rail infrastructure.
