Bharat Coking Coal IPO: Investors, get ready!
The IPO of Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) is the talk of the day and is launching on January 9, 2026. The public offer will remain open until January 13, and the shares are set to be listed on the BSE and NSE on January 16. But there’s a catch: this is a 100% Offer for Sale (OFS), which means BCCL will not receive any money, the entire amount will go to its parent, Coal India Ltd (CIL). If you are tracking Coal India’s subsidiaries, this IPO is the perfect opportunity to watch value unlocking in action.
Here is my question to investors and traders- Will you be part of the fun or just a spectator?

CIL’s mines contribute to the generation of 76% of the country’s thermal power capacity and supply coal at lower prices to domestic industries so that they are competitive in the international market. The company, which was given the title of Maharatna, is based in Kolkata and has seven production subsidiaries, ECL, BCCL, CCL, WCL, SECL, NCL, MCL, along with the Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI), and also a foreign arm in Mozambique (CIAL).
CIL’s involvement in India’s northeastern state of Assam for the mining operations directly emphasizes its wide area covered. Besides being a major contributor to the “Make in India” movement, CIL assures the nation of its energy security. So, if you are an investor, an energy enthusiast, or just curious, it is always worth monitoring CIL.
