Dhanbad-based Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India and a recently listed entity, announced a standalone net loss of ₹23 crore for the third quarter of FY26 (October-December 2025). This marks a significant reversal from the ₹425 crore net profit recorded in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. The loss narrowed considerably on a sequential basis, contracting by approximately 57% from the ₹53 crore net loss in Q2 FY26, reflecting some operational improvements. Revenue from operations stood at ₹2,783 crore during the quarter, reflecting a sharp 25% decline year-on-year (from ₹3,688 crore), though it rose about 8% sequentially from ₹2,572 crore in the prior quarter. Expenses also decreased around 10% YoY to ₹2,922 crore, providing some relief. Production remained a key concern, dropping roughly 11% YoY to 8.90 million tonnes, falling short of the company's target of 11.27 million tonnes. The results, declared on February 3, 2026, triggered immediate selling pressure on the stock. Shares dipped as much as 4% intraday, hitting a low of ₹37.12, before partially recovering to close 2% lower at ₹37.83 on the trading day. As BCCL navigates its post-listing phase, investors will closely monitor efforts to boost production volumes and stabilize profitability in the coming quarters.
