6.3 Further Steps To Supplement Power Availability Captive Power Plant at Moonidih (2*10MW):
2x10 MW Captive Power Plant at Moonidih was installed for utilization of washery rejects, meeting the emergent need of power in Moonidih (a three degree mine) & providing uninterrupted supply. The project was approved by Govt. of India in October, 1986. However, the plant was commissioned in 1995 & put in commercial operation with the help of departmental manpower in Nov, 1996 & was operated till 2003.
Further, the plant was leased out to M/S OSD Coke (Consortium) Private Limited on 18.03.2010 and started generation of power from April’2011. Due to some dispute in pricing related to fuel supply & power tariff, the lessee stopped generation of power from 15.04.2014. BCCL has taken possession of the CPP on 16.12.2015.
Currently BCCL has appointed SBICAP Transaction Advisor cum Consultant for ‘Asset Monetization’ of the said Captive Power Plant at Moonidih, BCCL. The firm has submitted report against the same and it is under examination.

Reasons For Shortfall From Targeted Production:
Reasons for low production are as under:-
1. Longwall Moonidih XV Seam: Development of T-1 Panel is in progress : however, production shortfall is attributed to machine and belt breakdowns, along with a shortage of skilled manpower under the contractor, which has impacted overall development progress and production readiness.
2. Longwall, Moonidih XVI Seam: Production was adversely affected due to geological disturbances (fault ~6.5 m and dyke ~5 m) and reduced panel face width (102 m against standard 150 m)
3. Block-II Highwall: Shortfall in production from Block-II Highwall during FY 2025-26 is attributed to heavy rainfall causing water accumulation at the working platform, along with acute geological disturbances on the eastern side, which hindered full-length highwall excavation and led to frequent cutter obstructions.
4. Production from SDL was hampered due to unavailability of working faces & frequent breakdown of SDL, UDM and Haulages.

19. SAFETY
SAFETY FIRST
Safety is always the utmost priority of CIL. Safety is ingrained in the mission statement of CIL and is one of the most important components in overall business strategy. CIL has framed a well-defined “Safety Policy” to ensure safety in all mines and its establishments. CIL has already established a multi-disciplinary Internal Safety Organization (ISO) in all subsidiaries for the implementation of CIL “Safety Policy”. All operations, systems and processes of BCCL are meticulously designed and planned with due regard to safety, conservation, sustainable development and clean environment. Work place hazards and associated risks of mining operations are identified and Safety Management Plan is prepared for each mine. BCCL always encourages employees’ participations in safety management so as to promote a proactive safety culture and improve safety awareness amongst all employees. Several initiatives are being taken to achieve “Zero Potential (ZHP)” in mines.
Rehabilitation Measures
Rehabilitation of people residing within leasehold areas affected by gas emission at Kenduadih colliery and land subsidence at Tanda Bari, Govindpur is being undertaken Approximately 120 families have been relocated to Belgaria Township and about 110 families to Sindwatand, with assistance from the local administration to ensure their safety.
A. Statutory Framework governing Coal Mines Safety:
Coal mining, world over, is highly regulated industry due to presence of many inherent, operational and occupational hazards. Coal Mine Safety Legislation in India is one of the most comprehensive and extensive statutory framework for ensuring Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). The operations in coalmines are
regulated by the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 ( subsuming the Mines Act -1952), the Mine Rules -1955, the Coal Mine Regulation-2017 and several other statutes framed there under. Some of the important statutes related to coal mine safety are as follows:

23. PENSION (Pension Cell)
The Pension Cell at BCCL Headquarters has demons¬ trated significant progress and commitment towards ensuring the well-being of its employees and retirees during the financial year 2025-26. Through proactive measures, technological advancements, and collabora¬ tive efforts, the department has strived for efficiency, transparency, and timely delivery of pension and provident fund benefits.
SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
^ Seamless Data Processing for Online Public Portal: The Pension Department successfully processed data for 35,690 employees, enabling their access to information on the Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation (CMPFO) online Public Portal. This initiative empowers members with self-service access to their PF and pension details upon successful enrolment and login on the CMPFO website.
^ Proactive Handling of Retirements: Demonst¬ rating foresight and efficiency, BCCL identified 1918 employees retiring in the upcoming financial year 2026-27.
> Online Submission of PF and Pension Claims: In
adherence to the Ministry of Coal's directive, BCCL has fully implemented the online submission
and settlement of retirement-related claims through the CMPFO's CCARES portal, developed by CDAC, effective from February 2024. Colliery and Area offices are now actively engaged in online submissions, with a strong commitment to settling claims promptly.
> Innovative Reporting and Transparency: To
enhance real-time reporting and transparency, the BCCL Pension Cell introduced the use of Google Sheets for tracking PF and Pension claims processed. This information is shared with Area offices and CMPFO, facilitating better coordination and accountability.
>Ý Collaborative Approach to Pension Distribution:
The Pension Cell maintained a strong working relationship with CMPFO to ensure the smooth and timely distribution of Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) and Revised PPOs to eligible pensioners.
ACTIVITIES
(A) Distribution of YY Statement:
YY statements for the financial year 2025-26 are now readily accessible on the SAP-ERP system. Instructions have been issued for their prompt distribution to all members, ensuring employees are well-informed about their contributions towards CMPF and Pension.
(B) Submission of Annual CMPF VV Statement for the CPE 03/2025:
All Areas, Units, and Headquarters have successfully submitted the VV statements for the Contribution Period Ending (CPE) 03/2025 in the prescribed format to CMPFO, Dhanbad. For CPE 2026, the VV statements are available on SAP-ERP and are currently undergoing verification for timely submission to CMPFO.
(C) Seminars/ Workshops:
The Pension Cell proactively conducted Seminar/ Workshop with dealing staffs, officials, and union representatives, during which Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines were disseminated. These efforts aimed at system improvement and adherence to standard operating procedures to minimize delays in processing PF-Pension claims. The department also effectively addressed issues raised by union representatives and CMPFO officials, and resolved grievances from members and retired employees, thereby enhancing overall effectiveness.
(D) Co-ordination Meeting:
Regular coordination meetings were held between the Assistant Commissioner of CMPFO, D-I & D-II, and Coal Company Officials. These detailed deliberations focused on accessing accurate information regarding pending CMPF/CMPS claims and strategizing for their subsequent settlement. Furthermore, quarterly coordination meetings were conducted at the unit level with the concerned Regional Office (RO) of CMPFO.
(E) Marathon Meeting:
To address the issue of undue delay or non-submission of both soft and hard copies of PS-5 forms to the Fund Section and to streamline the process, a dedicated three-day Marathon Meeting was scheduled from 14.10.2025 to 16.10.2025, which centered to facilitate accurate and prompt submission of PS-5 forms of current as well as previous months by all Areas of BCCL, strictly adhering to the laid-down SOP. The meeting ensured active participation from the Fund Section, BCCL HQ, ERP-SAP Team, and the respective Area Manager (HR) & Area Manager (Finance) along with their concerned officials.
(F) C-Cares Portal Workshop:
Furthering the efforts towards digital empowerment, a workshop for efficient processing CMPF/CMPS Claims through the C-Cares Portal was organized at the Level-II, Koyla Bhawan on April 17, 2025. This session witnessed enthusiastic participation from, Area Project Managers (APMs), Authorised Officers, and Dealing Assistants with over 84 attendees.
(G) Awareness for Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners: (159 No.s of DLC generated during Nov. 2025 at Vishrantika Camp)
Significant efforts were undertaken to raise awareness among pensioners regarding the convenience and necessity of the Digital Life Certificate. Various communication channels, including social media, print media, digital media, and banners were utilized for this purpose. To facilitate the generation of Digital Life Certificates, USB fingerprint scanners are being employed and area-wise campaigns are being actively conducted. Since March 2022, the Pension Cell has embraced the use of Aadhaar-based Face Recognition Digital Life Certificates on Android mobile phones. The Android Face App has eliminated the need for pensioners to physically visit the disbursing agency to submit their life certificates. To further promote the adoption of Digital Life Certificates through the Face App, a handout containing relevant information is provided to every retiring employee along with their other superannuation documents.
(H) PF & Pension of Contractor Worker:
The Pension Department collaborates closely with the Contract Management Cell of BCCL and CMPFO to ensure the smooth processing and settlement of PF claims for contractor workers engaged by outsourcing agencies within BCCL. The department consistently strives to bring all eligible contractor workers under the purview of CMPFO through membership registration. It is important to note that all contractor workers are currently covered under either CMPF or EPF.
(I) SOP for CMPFO claim settlement:
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the submission and processing of PF-Pension claims have been distributed to all units and areas. These SOPs, along with CMPFO's own SOPs are also readily available on the company's website for easy access and adherence.
(J) Implementation of New Forms:
The new Sahaj and Nomination Forms have been fully implemented across the organization and have been successfully uploaded onto the Company’s Website, ensuring easy access and compliance.
(K) Assessment of Excess amount paid to CMPFO since CPE 2000-01:
The data regarding the excess amount paid to CMPFO since CPE 2000-01 ( Nearly about ?60 Crores) has been collected from all Areas which is under assessment and accordingly will be reconciled with CMPFO after audit.
(L) Revised PPO:
The Commissioner, CMPFO, Dhanbad through their communication dated August 25, 2023, informed that their offices are actively engaged in the process of issuing revised Pension Payment Orders (PPOs). The primary objective of this initiative is to ensure the seamless provision of pension to the spouse in the unfortunate event of the pensioner's demise. To this end, applications of more than 11638 Pensioners of BCCL have been forwarded to CMPFO, Dhanbad. This collaborative effort with CMPFO, Dhanbad is geared towards reaching the maximum number of eligible beneficiaries expeditiously.

(M) Online Processing of CMPF/CMPS Claims through C-Cares Portal :

exclusively through the C-Cares Portal. A significant number of these claims have already been successfully settled, and the corresponding PF amounts have been credited directly to the beneficiaries' bank accounts. CMPS claims are also being processed and forwarded to CMPFO on an urgent basis for settlement at their end.
The Pension Cell of BCCL plays a crucial role in coordinating all activities related to the timely submission and forwarding of claims for Provident Fund (PF) and Pension, as governed by the CMPF Scheme of 1948 and the CMPS of 1998. The department maintains a strong focus on 'Mission Biswas', an initiative dedicated to ensuring the smooth processing and submission of PF-Pension claims for retiring employees through close collaboration with CMPF authorities and various Areas/Units.

Some of the initiatives undertaken by the IR Department in FY 2025-26 to reduce disputes and streamline the IR Function
Upon the joining of the Presiding Officer in the CGITs, a review exercise was undertaken to facilitate the disposal of long-pending cases that had remained unattended by the concerned parties for a considerable period. Such cases were systematically identified and reviewed, and No Dispute Awards were passed by the CGIT in these
matters. As a result of this initiative, a significant decline has been observed in the number of prolonged and pending CGIT cases, and the number of such pending cases has been reduced by 52 through passing of No Dispute Awards.
Pending PG, ID, and PG Appeal cases were periodically reviewed during FY 2025-26, and necessary measures were undertaken at various levels to ensure reduction in the pendency of such cases.
To ensure timely disposal of pending ID, PG and CGIT cases all written statement filed are now vetted centrally by IR and legal department.
IR Department is also taking initiatives for settlement of pre-litigation issues through Lok Adalat. As a result of continuous efforts towards amicable settlement of disputes, 29 number of cases have been settled amicably through Lok Adalat.
Management has taken initiative to streamline various HR processes which are historically considered sources of litigation. Committees have been constituted to frame SOP-cum-Policy for:
One-Time DOB Mismatch Settlement - BCCL has been facing a long-standing legacy issue relating to mismatch in the Date of Birth (DOB) of employees as recorded in company records/ educational documents vis-a-vis NEIS/SAP records, resulting in disputes being raised at various forums from time to time. In order to resolve this persistent issue in a comprehensive and time-bound manner, the DOB of all employees was displayed in their salary slips and a window up to 15.04.2026 was provided for submission of objections, if any, by the concerned employees. Subsequently, the objections/applications received are being examined through a multi-tier review mechanism constituted at the Area level as well as IR Department level. The DOB particulars of each employee will be scrutinized and verified on the basis of available records/documents so as to resolve the issue in a systematic and time-bound manner.
SOP on IME & Age Assessment Board (AAB)
In order to streamline the process of Initial Medical Examination (IME) and reduce delays in the time-consuming process, a standardized procedure for Initial Medical Examination in cases of compassionate appointment, direct recruitment, and land-loser employment has been implemented. Simultaneous fitness assessment for Group-A and Group-B categories has also been introduced in compliance with the provisions of the RPWD Act, 2016. At present, the concerned departments are adhering to the prescribed SOP
SOP for Co-operative Societies - Despite the existence of multiple Co-operative Societies in BCCL, it was observed that deductions towards Co-operative Societies in SAP were being processed through only three common codes. This led to instances of multiple deductions from employees and difficulties in remitting the appropriate deducted amount to the respective Co-operative Societies. To address the issue, unique ERP codification for all Co-operative Societies has been introduced. Further, the system has been streamlined by implementing one-society deduction per employee along with EMI schedule-based deductions and auto¬ transfer of the deducted amount within 15 days from salary disbursement.
SOP on Date of Appointment (DOA) for Non¬ Executives - It was observed that different practices were being followed across various Areas regarding determination of the Date of Appointment (DOA) of newly joined employees. In order to streamline the process, a uniform system for determination of DOA has been introduced, wherein the date of reporting before the Area GM/HQ is treated as the Date of Appointment and is duly certified in the posting order. This has helped eliminate inter-area inconsistencies and disputes relating to service records.
SOP on Pay Fixation, Wages Arrear with delay more than 03 years - To reduce delays and complications involved in the earlier
process, Area GMs have been empowered, as per their Delegation of Powers (DoP), to approve payment of arrears, revised basic fixation, and other related matters in respect of employees. Further, e-office processing integrated with ERP audit trail has been implemented to ensure transparency, accountability, and expeditious disposal of such cases
SOP on Online No-Dues Certificate Module
(SAP) - It was realized that the responsibility for issuance of No Dues Certificates lies with the Management/concerned officials. However, in BCCL, it had long been the practice that employees or their representatives themselves carried the No Dues forms to various departments/officials for obtaining clearance and issuance of the No Dues Certificate. This practice resulted in delays, irregular practices, and inconvenience to superannuating employees. Further, it also led to avoidable litigations at various forums.
To curb this outdated practice and ensure a fully transparent system, a completely digitized mechanism for issuance of No Dues Certificates integrated with SAP has been introduced. An SOP for the same has been prepared and is fully operational across all establishments of BCCL. The system provides for full digitization, auto¬ trigger generation, and monthly monitoring reports for effective implementation and monitoring.
SOPs Under Process:
Biometric Attendance - standardized SOP is being formulated to regulate biometric attendance recording across all BCCL establish¬ ments, ensuring uniform shift-wise marking, integration with SAP/ERP for payroll input, and elimination of manual intervention - creating a tamper-proof, dispute-free attendance system organization-wide.
Check-off of Union Membership - A transparent check-off mechanism is being standardized covering employee consent, union authorization, ERP codification and single-union deduction per employee - bringing uniformity and account¬ ability to union membership fee deductions across all establishments.
Terminal Dues Payment - A comprehensive SOP prescribing step-by-step timelines, responsibility matrix and escalation mechanism for payment of all components of terminal dues - gratuity, leave encashment, PF, settlement allowance etc. - is being finalized after detailed deliberation with Finance, HR and Legal, ensuring time- bound and complete settlement for every separating employee
First-ever Annual Calendar: For the first time, a pre-fixed annual calendar for Area Consultative Committee (ACC) & Area Welfare Committee meetings was circulated by IR Department for all Areas of BCCL.
Quarterly pre-fixed dates: Meeting dates fixed for all 4 quarters of 2026 for CCC, Welfare Board across all Areas, providing predictability and advance planning time for union and management representatives.
Monitoring mechanism: Unresolved points from area-level meetings to be compiled and forwarded by Area HR to IR Department for discussion at company-level meetings.
Advance agenda requirement: Unions required to submit agenda at least 15 days in advance to ensure productive, well-prepared meetings.
Total CCC Meetings conducted (2025-26): 04

NEW INITIATIVE
> MONETIZATION OF EXISTING COKING COAL WASHERIES
The monetization of old and obsolete Washeries of Bharat coking Coal Limited (BCCL), the prime supplier of coking coal in India, aligns perfectly with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat towards minimizing the import of coking coal and fostering a more robust and resilient steel sector.
The monetization model is poised to attract significant investor interest from the steel sector, further stimulating economic activity, and fostering job creation in the region while also refurbishing/redeveloping the national assets. With a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, BCCL stands poised to redefine the landscape of India's coal sector, driving progress and prosperity for generations to come. The National Monetization Pipeline (NMP), introduced by the Government of India in August 2021, represents a transformative initiative aimed at unlocking the economic potential of public assets, including coal washeries, through private sector participation.
Among the entities central to this initiative is Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) which operates a significant share of India’s coking coal washeries. The auction of BCCL’s coal washeries under the NMP framework marks a pivotal shift in India’s coal sector, blending public asset monetization with the strategic goal of reducing import dependence and bolstering domestic industrial capabilities.
MONETIZATION OF DUGDA COAL WASHERY

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK:2030
The future of coking coal washing lies in building a sustainable, technologically advanced, and financially robust ecosystem. Our vision is to transform coal beneficiation by adopting environmentally responsible practices, integrating state of the art technologies, and enhancing operational efficiency to ensure long-term financial viability. By aligning with national energy goals and global sustainability standards while minimizing environmental impact.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), is strategically planning to enhance its coal washing capacity with the objective of processing over 50% of its total raw coal production through its own washeries by year 2030. This initiative reflects BCCL’s commitment to strengthening its in-house coal beneficiation capabilities, thus providing indigenous Washed Coal to domestic steel makers.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has set an ambitious target to achieve raw coal production of 54 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) through its own mines by FY 2029-30. In alignment with this production goal, the Washery Construction Division is planning to enhance the company’s coal washing capacity to 34.06 MTPA by the same year. The targeted increase in washing capacity will be realized through the following key projects:
Percentage of BCCL’s Total Raw Coal Production Processed By each Washeries by FY - 2029-30 Against the Total 54MT Raw Coal Production, Target Washing Capacity is 34.06 MTPA Which is 63.07%
