New Delhi: Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL), reported a net loss of ₹22.8 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, marking its first quarterly results post its market debut. The decline comes amid lower revenue compared to the year-ago period.
Revenue Decline Pressures Profitability
BCCL’s revenue for Q3 FY26 stood at ₹2,853.24 crore, down from ₹3,756.86 crore in the same quarter last year. This decline in income directly impacted the company’s profitability, turning a profit of ₹424.99 crore in Q3 FY25 into a net loss for the current period.
The company cited lower sales and subdued market conditions in the coking coal segment as primary reasons for the reduced revenue.

First Quarterly Results After Listing
These quarterly results are significant as they represent BCCL’s performance after its recent listing on stock exchanges last month. Investors and market analysts are closely watching the company’s ability to stabilize revenue and return to profitability in upcoming quarters.
Outlook and Market Impact
BCCL operates in a capital-intensive segment, and revenue volatility is common due to fluctuating coal prices and demand from steel and industrial sectors. Analysts note that while short-term performance shows a loss, long-term prospects remain linked to the domestic steel industry’s growth and Coal India’s production strategy.
