Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has made a regulatory disclosure under SEBI Listing Regulations (Regulation 30) regarding the official site handover of its Dugdha Coal Washery to JSW Steel Limited.
The handover ceremony took place on June 17, 2026, at Coal Bhawan, Mukhyalaya, with the attendance of BCCL's Chairman and Managing Director Shri Manoj Kumar Agrawal, Executive Directors, and senior officials from JSW Steel and JSW Energy.
The Dugdha Coal Washery has a capacity of 2.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). This asset monetization initiative represents India's first coal washery monetization project, conducted under the guidance of the Ministry of Coal.
The project aims to achieve multiple objectives through private sector participation: modernization of coal sector assets, improvement in operational efficiency, and more effective utilization of resources. Expected benefits include increased coal beneficiation capacity, better utilization of domestic coking coal, enhanced availability of high-quality washed coking coal, and reduced dependence on imported coking coal.
The partnership with JSW is anticipated to improve coal supply chain efficiency, promote sustainable and modern coal transportation, create new employment opportunities, and accelerate industrial development in Jharkhand and surrounding regions.
This initiative supports the Government of India's 'Mission Coking Coal' objectives by contributing to foreign exchange savings through reduced imports.
