Bharat Coking Coal IPO
Bharat Coking Coal IPO: Last Chance to Join the Coal Rush!
The IPO saga is exciting and full of drama! Bharat Coking Coal Ltd, a subsidiary of Coal India, has become the center of attention with unprecedented demand. On the second day (January 12), the IPO was already oversubscribed by 33.60 times, indicating that investors are very keen on a share of India’s coal giant.
Moreover, the start was not slow, on Day 1 (January 9), the IPO was completely subscribed within minutes, and a huge ₹273 crore was raised from anchor investors just the day before. It is evident that long-term and institutional investors are not going to let this opportunity go.
Today, January 13, 2026, is the last day of the IPO, which means that retail investors have only one last chance to buy. The price range is ₹21–23 per share, and a lot consists of 600 shares.
Due to such high demand, the question everyone is asking is: will you be a mere onlooker or will you take part in this coal rush?
