Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India, reported a 1.6% decline in coking coal production for February 2026. This minor contraction comes as India designates coking coal as a "critical mineral" to reduce import dependency, even as port traffic for coking coal imports rose 11% in the April-February FY26 period.
