Bharat Coking Coal Limited announces Performance Incentive relaxation, cash discount for power sector

Bharat Coking Coal Limited has announced a scheme providing relaxation in Performance Incentive (PI) and offering Cash Discount to power sector consumers for the first quarter of the Financial Year 2026-27.
The Ministry of Coal said that the scheme shall be applicable to all eligible power sector consumers covered under Fuel Supply Agreements, including those under the Flexi-Linkage scheme. It said that the incentives will be linked to actual coal offtake through Rail, Road and Road-cum-Rail modes and will be implemented based on the proportion of offtake against the Quarterly Quantity under defined slabs.
The Ministry added that under the scheme for coal offtake below 120% of Quarterly Quantity, PI shall be applicable only on raw coal as per existing FSA provisions, and no Cash Discount shall be admissible. The initiative is aimed at incentivizing higher coal offtake, improving logistics efficiency, and providing cost relief to the power sector.
