BCCL Announces Incentive Scheme to Boost Coal Supply and Cut Costs for Power Sector

Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a Coal India subsidiary, has introduced a scheme for April-June 2026 to encourage higher coal offtake by power sector consumers. The plan offers Performance Incentive relaxation and a five percent cash discount on coal lifted beyond 100 percent of quarterly targets, aiming to reduce costs and ensure steady electricity supply amid rising demand. Incentives vary based on coal offtake levels and transport modes, with BCCL urging consumers to maximize benefits, especially via rail. The company also reported a 58.9% profit decline for the quarter ending March 2026 due to lower revenue.
