Bharat Coking Coal Limited has postponed its 448th Board of Directors meeting, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026. The meeting has been rescheduled to Sunday, October 25, 2026, due to unavoidable circumstances.

The primary agenda for the session remains the consideration and approval of the company's standalone financial results for the second quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026. These results are subject to review by the Audit Committee prior to board approval.

Meeting Details

The postponement was communicated to the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange under Regulation 29 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. The notice was signed by Debanuj Debnath, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.

Bharat Coking Coal Limited informed stock exchanges that the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has disposed of a litigation alleging illegal mining at its sites in Jharkhand. The tribunal declined to exercise jurisdiction as identical reliefs are pending before the High Court of Jharkhand.

Litigation details

The disposal relates to Original Application No. 57/2023/EZ, Ajay Rajak v. Ministry of Coal & Ors. The application, filed before the NGT Eastern Zone Bench in Kolkata, alleged violations of the Environment Protection Act, 1986. The petitioner contended that illegal mining was occurring at Central Surunga Paharigora, Parbad Laxmi Colliery, and other sites located at Alakdiha OP in District Dhanbad, Jharkhand.

Tribunal's reasoning

In its order dated October 8, 2026, the NGT stated it did not consider it proper to exercise parallel jurisdiction. This decision was based on the fact that identical reliefs are currently pending before the Hon'ble High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi. The company disclosed this development under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Disclosure timeline

The company secretary and compliance officer, Debanuj Debnath, signed the disclosure letter to the listing departments of the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India.
