BCCL Approves Interim Measures for Diesel Price Hikes

Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) has approved the implementation of interim measures to mitigate financial stress caused by a significant increase in bulk diesel prices. These measures, approved by Coal India Limited, will apply to eligible ongoing contracts. The approved mechanism allows for diesel price variations payable to contractors for Hiring of HEMM and Coal Transportation to be computed with reference to Bulk Diesel Rates, subject to specific terms and conditions. The exact financial impact is currently unascertainable and will depend on the claims made under the new mechanism.
