Under the guidance of Ministry of Coal, Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a CIL subsidiary has achieved a historic milestone by successfully monetizing the 2 MTPA Dugda Coal Washery located in Bokaro, Jharkhand.

This first-ever monetization of a coal washery in India marks a transformative step in coal sector reforms, reinforcing the country’s commitment to enhancing efficiency, asset optimization, and energy security. The monetization of the Dugda Coal Washery is expected to have a significant impact on energy sector in India.

With improved coal washing capabilities and enhanced beneficiation processes, this initiative will contribute to higher efficiency in domestic coal utilization. More importantly, it will play a crucial role in reducing India’s dependence on imported coking coal, leading to foreign exchange savings and reinforcing the country’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
