Bharat Coking Coal spurts on higher coking coal production in March'26

Coking coal production increased 3% YoY to 4.22 million tonnes in March 2026. Offtake (raw coal) tumbled 24.4% YoY to 2.66 million tonnes in March 2026.

Meanwhile, the board cleared a proposal to revise the modulated pricing of coking coal and washed coal products for NRS Linkage Auction Tranche VI onwards and the single-window agnostic e-auction mechanism. The revised prices, effective 1 April 2026, reflect a 0.24% increase based on WPI indexation.
