2x10 MW Captive Power Plant at Moonidih was installed for utilization of washery rejects, meeting theemergent need of power in Moonidih (a three degree mine) & providing uninterrupted supply. The project wasapproved by Govt. of India in October, 1986. However, the plant was commissioned in 1995 & put incommercial operation with the help of departmental manpower in Nov, 1996 & was operated till 2003.
Further, the plant was leased out to M/S OSD Coke (Consortium) Private Limited on 18.03.2010 and started generationof power from April’2011. Due to some dispute in pricing related to fuel supply & power tariff, the lessee stoppedgeneration of power from 15.04.2014. BCCL has taken possession of the CPP on 16.12.2015.
Currently BCCL has appointed SBICAP Transaction Advisor cum Consultant for ‘Asset Monetization’ of the saidCaptive Power Plant at Moonidih, BCCL. The firm has submitted report against the same and it is under examination.

Reasons for low production are as under:-
1. Longwall Moonidih XV Seam: Development of T-1 Panel is in progress : however, production shortfall isattributed to machine and belt breakdowns, along with a shortage of skilled manpower under the contractor,which has impacted overall development progress and production readiness.
2. Longwall, Moonidih XVI Seam: Production was adversely affected due to geological disturbances (fault ~6.5m and dyke ~5 m) and reduced panel face width (102 m against standard 150 m)
3. Block-II Highwall: Shortfall in production from Block-II Highwall during FY 2025-26 is attributed to heavyrainfall causing water accumulation at the working platform, along with acute geological disturbances on theeastern side, which hindered full-length highwall excavation and led to frequent cutter obstructions.
4. Production from SDL was hampered due to unavailability of working faces & frequent breakdown of SDL,UDM and Haulages.

Some of the initiatives undertaken by the IRDepartment in FY 2025-26 to reduce disputes andstreamline the IR Function
Upon the joining of the Presiding Officer in theCGITs, a review exercise was undertaken tofacilitate the disposal of long-pending cases thathad remained unattended by the concerned partiesfor a considerable period. Such cases weresystematically identified and reviewed, and NoDispute Awards were passed by the CGIT in these
matters. As a result of this initiative, a significantdecline has been observed in the number ofprolonged and pending CGIT cases, and thenumber of such pending cases has been reducedby 52 through passing of No Dispute Awards.
Pending PG, ID, and PG Appeal cases wereperiodically reviewed during FY 2025-26, andnecessary measures were undertaken at variouslevels to ensure reduction in the pendency of suchcases.
To ensure timely disposal of pending ID, PG andCGIT cases all written statement filed are nowvetted centrally by IR and legal department.
IR Department is also taking initiatives forsettlement of pre-litigation issues through LokAdalat. As a result of continuous efforts towardsamicable settlement of disputes, 29 number ofcases have been settled amicably through LokAdalat.
Management has taken initiative to streamlinevarious HR processes which are historicallyconsidered sources of litigation. Committees havebeen constituted to frame SOP-cum-Policy for:
One-Time DOB Mismatch Settlement - BCCLhas been facing a long-standing legacy issuerelating to mismatch in the Date of Birth (DOB)of employees as recorded in company records/educational documents vis-a-vis NEIS/SAPrecords, resulting in disputes being raised atvarious forums from time to time. In order toresolve this persistent issue in a comprehensiveand time-bound manner, the DOB of allemployees was displayed in their salary slipsand a window up to 15.04.2026 was provided forsubmission of objections, if any, by theconcerned employees. Subsequently, theobjections/applications received are beingexamined through a multi-tier review mechanismconstituted at the Area level as well as IRDepartment level. The DOB particulars of eachemployee will be scrutinized and verified on thebasis of available records/documents so as toresolve the issue in a systematic and time-boundmanner.
In order to streamline the process of InitialMedical Examination (IME) and reduce delaysin the time-consuming process, a standardizedprocedure for Initial Medical Examination incases of compassionate appointment, directrecruitment, and land-loser employment hasbeen implemented. Simultaneous fitnessassessment for Group-A and Group-B categorieshas also been introduced in compliance with theprovisions of the RPWD Act, 2016. At present,the concerned departments are adhering to theprescribed SOP
SOP for Co-operative Societies - Despite theexistence of multiple Co-operative Societies inBCCL, it was observed that deductions towardsCo-operative Societies in SAP were beingprocessed through only three common codes.This led to instances of multiple deductionsfrom employees and difficulties in remitting theappropriate deducted amount to the respectiveCo-operative Societies. To address the issue,unique ERP codification for all Co-operativeSocieties has been introduced. Further, thesystem has been streamlined by implementingone-society deduction per employee along withEMI schedule-based deductions and auto¬transfer of the deducted amount within 15 daysfrom salary disbursement.
SOP on Date of Appointment (DOA) for Non¬Executives - It was observed that differentpractices were being followed across variousAreas regarding determination of the Date ofAppointment (DOA) of newly joined employees.In order to streamline the process, a uniformsystem for determination of DOA has beenintroduced, wherein the date of reporting beforethe Area GM/HQ is treated as the Date ofAppointment and is duly certified in the postingorder. This has helped eliminate inter-areainconsistencies and disputes relating to servicerecords.
SOP on Pay Fixation, Wages Arrear withdelay more than 03 years - To reduce delaysand complications involved in the earlier
process, Area GMs have been empowered, asper their Delegation of Powers (DoP), toapprove payment of arrears, revised basicfixation, and other related matters in respect ofemployees. Further, e-office processingintegrated with ERP audit trail has beenimplemented to ensure transparency,accountability, and expeditious disposal of suchcases
(SAP) - It was realized that the responsibilityfor issuance of No Dues Certificates lies withthe Management/concerned officials. However,in BCCL, it had long been the practice thatemployees or their representatives themselvescarried the No Dues forms to variousdepartments/officials for obtaining clearanceand issuance of the No Dues Certificate. Thispractice resulted in delays, irregular practices,and inconvenience to superannuatingemployees. Further, it also led to avoidablelitigations at various forums.
To curb this outdated practice and ensure a fullytransparent system, a completely digitizedmechanism for issuance of No Dues Certificatesintegrated with SAP has been introduced. AnSOP for the same has been prepared and is fullyoperational across all establishments of BCCL.The system provides for full digitization, auto¬trigger generation, and monthly monitoringreports for effective implementation andmonitoring.
Biometric Attendance - standardized SOP isbeing formulated to regulate biometricattendance recording across all BCCL establish¬ments, ensuring uniform shift-wise marking,integration with SAP/ERP for payroll input, andelimination of manual intervention - creating atamper-proof, dispute-free attendance systemorganization-wide.
Check-off of Union Membership - A transparentcheck-off mechanism is being standardizedcovering employee consent, union authorization,ERP codification and single-union deductionper employee - bringing uniformity and account¬ability to union membership fee deductionsacross all establishments.
Terminal Dues Payment - A comprehensive SOPprescribing step-by-step timelines, responsibilitymatrix and escalation mechanism for paymentof all components of terminal dues - gratuity,leave encashment, PF, settlement allowance etc.- is being finalized after detailed deliberationwith Finance, HR and Legal, ensuring time-bound and complete settlement for everyseparating employee

? Monetization of 2.0 MTPA Dugda Coal Washery - First-ever monetization of a coal washery in India Under theguidance of Ministry of Coal, Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a CIL subsidiary has achieved a historicmilestone by successfully monetizing the 2 MTPA Dugda Coal Washery located in Bokaro, Jharkhand.Transaction Agreements (WDOA & FSA) signed on 24.06.2025 for Dugda Washery marks a transformativestep in coal sector reforms, reinforcing the country’s commitment to enhancing efficiency, asset optimization,and energy security.
The Monetization will ensure steady revenue to BCCL through periodic lease rental for 25 years and also ensuresale of 2.0 MT Coal per annum at a higher premium of ~ 26% over and above the regulated price
The new Bhojudih Coal Washery is a three-product medium coking coal washery having raw coal capacity of2.0 MTPA. The washery has been constructed under the Build, Operate and Maintain (BOM) model and isequipped with state-of-the-art technologies such as Heavy Media Cyclone, Spiral Concentrator and FrothFlotation for beneficiation of coking coal. With the successful commencement of commercial operation of newBhojudih Washery, the capacity expansion has vital significant for BCCL's revenue realization per tonne.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) is set to increase its domestic raw coking coal washing capacity from thecurrent 15.65 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 18.95 MTPA by the end of FY 2026-27. This growth willbe driven by two ongoing key projects:
a) The construction of Patherdih Washery (2.5 MTPA),
b) The revamping of the existing Moonidih Washery (adding 0.8 MTPA).
With transformative measures taken by Ministry of Coal under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative of PM, domesticraw Coking Coal production is likely to reach 140 MT by 2030.
The Ministry of Coal has launched "Mission Coking Coal" to enhance domestic coking coal production to reduceimport of coking coal, keeping in view the demand projection of steel sector. In a strategic move towardsmaximizing the potential of India's coking coal sector and recognizing the increasing demand for cleaner andmore efficient coal, the establishment of newly constructed washeries and upcoming washeries aims to meet thenation's coal requirements while upholding stringent quality standards with incorporation of latest technologiesto boost clean coal production efficiently. By adopting cutting-edge techniques and methodologies, the coalsector can maximize the yield of high-quality coal, thus contributing to India's energy security and sustainabilitygoals. With this aim, India can significantly reduce its reliance on coal imports and promote domestic coalbeneficiation.
BCCL, through its Washery Construction Division, has been playing a pivotal role in advancing the nation’sstrategic objective of reducing dependency on imported coking coal and strengthening domestic coal-basedinfrastructure. The company’s efforts are in line with the broader goals of Mission Coking Coal, an initiativedesigned to fortify India’s steel production capacity.
To realize this vision, the Washery Construction Division has undertaken a multi-pronged strategy encompassing:
• Construction of new washeries with state of the art technologies.
• Renovation and revamping of existing infrastructure.
• Monetization of old & obsolete assets.
At present, Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL)’s domestic raw coking coal washing capacity is about 15.65MT per annum including 13.60 MT of the BOM operated washeries. Status of 06 operational Coking CoalWasheries-

Thesededicated railway infrastructures play a vital role in the overall operational ecosystem of coal washeries,facilitating the swift and efficient dispatch of washed coking coal to steel plants and other industrial consumers.BCCL’s integrated approach to coal beneficiation and transportation towards parallel advancement of washeryconstruction and associated rail infrastructure ensures vital points:
• Efficient Coal Transportation
• Dedicated Loading/Unloading Zone
• Reduced Turnaround Time
• Cost-Effective Logistics
• Improved Safety and Control
• Reduced Road Congestion and Environmental Impact
• Supports Continuous Operations
• Increased Productivity of Washery

By revamping the existing infrastructure and building new washeries, BCCL is laying a strong foundation formeeting the future energy and resource needs of the nation’s industrial sectors. With such vision, BCCL will beable to achieve about 18.95 MT per annum of raw coal washing capacity by end of FY 2026-27, thereby reducingimport of coking coal.
The monetization of old and obsolete Washeries of Bharat coking Coal Limited (BCCL), the prime supplier ofcoking coal in India, aligns perfectly with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat towards minimizing the import ofcoking coal and fostering a more robust and resilient steel sector.
The monetization model is poised to attract significant investor interest from the steel sector, further stimulatingeconomic activity, and fostering job creation in the region while also refurbishing/redeveloping the national assets.With a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, BCCL stands poised to redefine thelandscape of India's coal sector, driving progress and prosperity for generations to come. The NationalMonetization Pipeline (NMP), introduced by the Government of India in August 2021, represents a transformativeinitiative aimed at unlocking the economic potential of public assets, including coal washeries, through privatesector participation.
Among the entities central to this initiative is Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) which operates a significantshare of India’s coking coal washeries. The auction of BCCL’s coal washeries under the NMP framework marksa pivotal shift in India’s coal sector, blending public asset monetization with the strategic goal of reducing importdependence and bolstering domestic industrial capabilities.
BCCL, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL), operates Dugda Coal Washery, which has an installed capacityof 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). Commissioned in 1968, the washery has suffered from decliningperformance due to aging infrastructure.
The transaction structure is to lease the washery through a forward auction and the successful bidder will enterinto a Washery Development & Operations Agreement (WDOA) and a Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) withBCCL. The contract period will be 25 years, extendable by 5 years and the WDO will renovate, operate, andmaintain the washery while paying lease rentals and coal linkage premiums.
The future endeavors of BCCL for monetization of obsolete coking coal washeries is as under:
Dugda

The tender for the monetization is expected to be published in FY2026-27.
The future of coking coal washing lies in building a sustainable, technologically advanced, and financially robustecosystem. Our vision is to transform coal beneficiation by adopting environmentally responsible practices, integratingstate of the art technologies, and enhancing operational efficiency to ensure long-term financial viability. By aligningwith national energy goals and global sustainability standards while minimizing environmental impact.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), is strategically planning to enhance its coal washing capacity with the objectiveof processing over 50% of its total raw coal production through its own washeries by year 2030. This initiative reflectsBCCL’s commitment to strengthening its in-house coal beneficiation capabilities, thus providing indigenous WashedCoal to domestic steel makers.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has set an ambitious target to achieve raw coal production of 54 million tonnesper annum (MTPA) through its own mines by FY 2029-30. In alignment with this production goal, the WasheryConstruction Division is planning to enhance the company’s coal washing capacity to 34.06 MTPA by the same year.The targeted increase in washing capacity will be realized through the following key projects:
