BCCL restarts long-shut coking coal mine under private partnership model
Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) has resumed coal production from its long-idled project in Dhanbad, marking the first operational mine developed under the Mine Developer and Operator (MDO) model within the Coal India Ltd (CIL) ecosystem. BCCL is a subsidiary of CIL. The Pootkee Balihari (PB) project has been awarded to Eagle Infra India Ltd for 25 years. It is expected to produce 52 million tonnes of coking coal — an essential input for the steel and infrastructure sectors — at a peak rated capacity of 2.7 million tonnes per year, the Ministry of Coal said in a statement. The project will bring advanced mining technologies and is expected to boost local employment and regional economic development. The mine was virtually inaugurated by Coal India Chairman P.M. Prasad, who called the revival a 'pioneering step' in transforming old assets into productive ventures. The PB project is among the early outputs of Mission Coking Coal, a government initiative to increase the domestic supply of the fuel critical to the infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.

Coking coal production drops by 9% in May
New Delhi: State-owned CIL's coking coal production dropped by 8.7 per cent to 4.53 million tonne in May, even as the government aims to increase the output to reduce dependency on imports. Coal India Ltd's (CIL) coking coal production was 4.96 MT in May 2024. The government under its 'Mission Coking Coal' aims to increase domestic coking coal production to 140 million tonne (MT) by 2029-30, thereby reducing dependency on its imports for the steel sector. Coking coal, also known as metallurgical coal, is essential for steel production. The company's coking coal production also dropped by 3.4 per cent to 9.36 MT in the April-May period over 9.69 MT in the year-ago period, as per the government's provisional data. CIL subsidiaries including Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) and Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) produce coking coal. BCCL is specifically known for its focus on coking coal production. CIL accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal production. The government has taken steps to enhance utilisation of indigenous coking coal, improving energy efficiency and decarbonisation of domestic steel sector.

Stamp charged coke oven batteries are also being used in steel plants to increase usage of domestic coking coal. Coking Coal is being imported by the steel sector mainly to bridge the gap between the requirement and indigenous availability and to improve the quality. In the last fiscal, the coking coal import was 57.58 MT, as per the provisional data.
