Bharat Coking Coal Limited has reported a substantial decline in its production performance for April 2026, with raw coal production falling 41.3% compared to the same period last year. The company disclosed these provisional monthly figures on May 1, 2026, under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015, through a formal regulatory filing signed by Company Secretary & Compliance Officer Debanuj Debnath.

Overall Production Performance

The company's total raw coal production stood at 1.99 million tonnes in April 2026, marking a significant decrease from 3.39 million tonnes produced in April 2025. This represents a decline of 41.3% year-on-year, indicating substantial operational challenges during the month.

Coal Type Performance

Coking coal, which constitutes the majority of the company's production, experienced a 41.5% decline to 1.91 million tonnes from 3.27 million tonnes in the corresponding period last year. Non-coking coal production also decreased by 34.7% to 0.08 million tonnes compared to 0.12 million tonnes in April 2025.

Mining Operations by Type

The production breakdown by mining type reveals contrasting performance between underground and opencast operations. Underground mines showed positive growth of 10.9%, producing 0.07 million tonnes compared to 0.06 million tonnes in April 2025. However, opencast mines, which contribute significantly more to overall production, declined 42.3% to 1.92 million tonnes from 3.33 million tonnes year-on-year.

Processing and Operations

Washed coking coal production decreased 12.2% to 0.12 million tonnes from 0.13 million tonnes in April 2025. Overburden removal operations, a critical aspect of mining activities, declined substantially by 51.7% to 9.03 million cubic meters compared to 18.71 million cubic meters in the same period last year.

Coal Offtake Performance

Coal offtake, representing the actual dispatch of raw coal, stood at 2.26 million tonnes in April 2026, down 26.4% from 3.07 million tonnes in April 2025. Despite the production decline being steeper at 41.3%, the relatively smaller decrease in offtake suggests the company may have utilized existing inventory to meet demand commitments.
