Bharat Coking Coal Raises Prices for Select Raw Coal Grades, Shares Rise
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) announced a price increase for select raw coking coal grades in the non-regulated sector, with hikes ranging from 0.1 to 14 per grade. The revision aims to address disproportionate price differences among coal grades, affecting steel grades, direct feed, and various washery grades. Following the announcement, BCCL shares rose between 5.5% and 7.2% on October 14, despite a 19% year-to-date decline. Experts expect the price adjustment to modestly impact steel manufacturers and non-regulated buyers.
