Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) Announces Scheme to Boost Coal Offtake
Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India, has announced a scheme to encourage higher coal offtake and reduce costs for power consumers for buying coal during the April-June period of the current financial year.
The move aims at encouraging power companies to buy more coal, speed up transport, and cut their costs. It will improve coal supply, ensure steady electricity, and support India’s self-reliance goal amid global energy issues. For more information on Coal India and its subsidiaries, visit our website.
Key Features of the Scheme
The scheme will apply to all eligible power sector consumers covered under the fuel supply pact, including those under the flexi-linkage scheme. The incentives will depend on actual coal lifted by power firms via rail, road or road-cum-rail modes, and will match the share of their quarterly target under set slabs.
Under the scheme, for coal offtake below 120 per cent of Quarterly Quantity (QQ), Performance Incentive (PI) shall be applicable only on raw coal as per existing FSA (fuel supply agreement) provisions, and no cash discount shall be admissible. For offtake between 120 per cent and 140 per cent of QQ, PI will not be applicable on quantities exceeding 90 per cent of QQ. In addition, a Cash Discount of five per cent will be provided on coal lifted beyond 100 per cent of QQ.
BCCL has advised all eligible consumers to maximise the benefits under the scheme by planning higher coal lifting, particularly through rail mode, while also ensuring adequate offtake through road and RCR modes. To learn more about Indian energy sector trends and updates, follow our blog.
