Bharat Coking Coal IPO: Good or bad for investors?
10] Bharat Coking Coal IPO review: Advising investors to apply, Rajan Shinde, Research Analyst, Mehta Equities, said, “Considering the FY2025–26 performance and assuming normalization of earnings going forward, the company’s valuation appears reasonable and attractive. Investors should also look at IPO offers, which come with 100% OFS i.e. Rs. 1068.78 Cr issue that is an area of concern for new investors. A lower-priced IPO of Bharat Coking Coal (BCCL) would naturally generate strong investor interest as it offers a rare opportunity to own a high-quality, cash-generative PSU coal asset at an attractive valuation, backed by long-term demand from the steel sector. We expect the IPO could see robust subscription from both institutional and retail investors, driven by steady cash flows, high entry barriers, and the scarcity value of coking coal assets in India. Hence, we recommend investors to SUBSCRIBE BCCL FOR HEALTHY LISTING GAINS.”
Assigning a ‘buy’ tag to the public issue, Mahesh M Ojha, Vice President – Research & Business Development at Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities, said, “With over 80% of revenues coming from steel producers, BCCL is a direct beneficiary of India’s steel capacity expansion, offering long-term demand visibility unlike global peers exposed to volatile export markets. BCCL is valued at 8.5–10.5x FY25 P/E, representing a significant discount to global coking coal peers (14–20x), despite delivering 21% RoNW and 30% ROCE, which provides valuation comfort. Capacity expansion is largely brownfield, leveraging existing infrastructure, which supports strong free cash flow generation and superior capital efficiency. Incremental production comes at relatively low marginal cost, enabling meaningful EBITDA and cash flow upside as mine utilisation improves. Healthy operating cash flows, low leverage, and PSU financial discipline reduce balance sheet risk and enhance dividend sustainability across cycles.”
Over the last two financial years, the Coal India subsidiary company has reported a consistent increase in its net worth. However, the company’s PAT and EBITDA dipped in FY25 after rising in FY24 YoY.
As of March 31, 2025, the company’s price-to-book ratio was 1.63, its PAT margin was approximately 8.60%, and its EBITDA margin was 16.35%. At the end of Q2 FY26, the company’s total borrowings were approximately ₹1,560 crore.
