Price band? Not out yet, drops January 5 probably. GMP's buzzing at ₹10-14 in grey markets, hinting decent listing pop if steel demand holds. Allotment's January 14, listing January 16 on BSE/NSE. Retail gets 35%, shareholders 10% – nice for Coal India holders.
Financials look solid but patchy. Revenue dipped a tad: ₹13,297 cr in FY23 to ₹14,045 cr FY24, then ₹13,998 cr FY25. Profits jumped huge YoY from ₹665 cr to ₹1,564 cr (135% growth!), eased to ₹1,240 cr FY25. EPS at ₹2.66 FY25, RONW 20.83%, ROCE 30%.
Market cap pre-IPO? Around ₹13,000 cr valuation floated. P/E not fixed sans price, but peers like Coal India trade at 8-11x. Industry P/E for coal firms hovers 10-15x, BCCL's profit dip might cap it lower. Dividend yield? No data yet, but Coal India pays 6% – expect similar PSU vibe.

Debt to equity low as PSU, cash flows strong from ops (EBITDA margins 16% FY25). ROE around 21% last year. H1 FY26 profit slipped to ₹124 cr on ₹5,659 cr sales – coal prices volatile, huh?
Born 1972, nationalized October that year under Coal Mines Authority. Coal India sub since 1975, Mini Ratna 2014. HQ Dhanbad, mines Jharia/Raniganj – India's sole prime coking coal spot, 7.9 bn tonnes reserves.
Business? Dig coking coal (39 MT FY25, 96% output), non-coking too. Washeries wash it for steel (2% sales), power eats 78%. Five washeries, more building – pushing self-reliance vs imports. 32 mines, 31k staff.
Tricky, coal's green-shift headache. 2026 end: ₹40-50 post-listing if GMP holds, steel boom. 2030: ₹80-100, assuming 10% CAGR on volumes. 2035: ₹150? 2040: ₹250 if washeries scale, but renewables might crush demand – like old Kodak vs phones. GMP low now, wonder if oversubscribed.
