Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has officially handed over its 2.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) Dugdha Coal Washery to JSW Steel Limited. This marks a historic initiative in the coal sector, being the first coal washery monetization effort in the country.
The handover ceremony, held at Koyla Bhawan, was attended by CMD BCCL, Shri Manoj Kumar Agarwal, along with senior officials from JSW Steel and JSW Energy. This asset monetization, guided by the Ministry of Coal, is a significant step towards modernizing coal sector assets, improving operational efficiency, and optimizing resource utilization through private sector participation.
This initiative is expected to increase coal beneficiation capacity, promote the use of domestic coking coal, and boost the availability of washed coking coal. It will contribute to reducing India's reliance on imported coking coal and saving foreign exchange, aligning with the 'Mission Coking Coal' objectives. Furthermore, JSW's involvement is anticipated to enhance the efficiency of the coal supply chain, promote sustainable and modern coal processing, create new employment opportunities, and stimulate industrial development in Jharkhand and surrounding regions, thereby supporting the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' vision.
