The Ministry of Coal has begun the monetisation process for Bharat Coking Coal Limited's (BBCL) 2-MTPA Dugda Coal Washery. The Dugda Coal Washery will be monetised through an auction in order to award the facility to potential steel manufacturers.
The non-operational washery will be awarded to the highest bidder, together with coal linkages proportionate to the highest premium paid for the coal quantity. The successful bidder will design, build, renovate, operate, maintain, and transfer the washery following the build/renovation, operation, maintenance, and transfer model.
In India's industrial environment, coking coal is a crucial raw ingredient for the production of steel. The monetisation process is expected to streamline operations, optimise resource utilisation, and drive innovation in coal beneficiation techniques. It will also enable BCCL to leverage its coal mining and processing expertise, solidifying its position as a key player in the Indian coal sector.
According to the government, this move is poised to reduce import dependence, enhance energy security, and fortify the steel sector's resilience. The government said the monetisation process will stimulate economic activity and generate employment opportunities in the region.
