Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL), has registered a record 61% growth in its production to 3.24 million tonnes (mt) in February this fiscal year against the same month last fiscal year.

Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), a Dhanbad-based subsidiary of the Maharatna public sector undertaking, also claimed to have had the highest offtake growth of around 66% to 2.93 million tonnes in the previous month.

In February 2022, BCCL achieved a record increase in coal production and dispatch when compared to the same month the previous fiscal, the miner told the media.

In February 2021, the output increased by 61% to 3.24 mt, up from 2.01 mt the previous month.

Last month, BCCL reported that coal offtake was 2.93 million tonnes, up 66% from 1.76 million tonnes the previous month.

For the first time in its history, the Coal India subsidiary will produce and dispatch more than 30 mt of dry fuel following its 2018-19 performance, overcoming all obstacles, such as market sluggishness caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and a long monsoon season.

According to the miner, rake loading increased by 65% from 12.6 rakes per day in 2020-21 to 20.9 rakes per day now.

During the current fiscal year, the company claimed to have supplied 59% more coal to power sector customers.
