BHARATCOAL: Media reports allege armed coal dacoity at Gazlitand dump — 450 tonnes / ₹45 lakh reportedly loaded using 15–20 Hyvas and 3 JCBs over nearly five hours
Public-source BCCL / BHARATCOAL investor update.
This is not a routine “coal removal” report.
As reported by Hindustan, Dainik Jagran and Prabhat Khabar on 04 July 2026, armed men allegedly reached the Gazlitand coal dump in the Angarpathra/Katras area at around 11:30 PM in black Scorpio vehicles, threatened security personnel with pistols, assaulted them, snatched mobile phones, locked security personnel in a container, fired in the air, opened the main gate, and used 15–20 Hyva trucks and three JCB machines to lift around 450 tonnes of coal by about 4:30 AM. The reported value is around ₹45 lakh.
The report also says live cartridges were found at the site and police said investigation was underway.
The important investor point is that this was reportedly mined and stocked coal from a coal dump/stockyard, not coal extracted by outsiders from an unmeasured seam.
If the report is accurate, this was an armed, organised, vehicle-assisted, multi-hour stockyard breach involving heavy equipment and multiple trucks.
I have not found any checked public report confirming that the armed persons were apprehended, that the JCBs/Hyvas were seized, or that the coal was recovered. That point should be treated carefully: recovery, seizure and arrests are not confirmed in the checked public sources available to me.
Why should BHARATCOAL shareholders care?
Because BCCL’s own prospectus positions the company as India’s largest coking coal producer in FY25, accounting for 58.50% of domestic coking coal production, and says BCCL is the only source of prime coking coal in India. When the listed company’s core product is reportedly taken from a stockyard after an armed breach, the issue is not only the ₹45 lakh value. The issue is inventory custody, stockyard security, dispatch control, contractor oversight, customer confidence and disclosure adequacy.
The direct amount is small in financial-statement terms. ₹45 lakh = ₹0.45 crore. Against BCCL’s FY26 numbers, this is approximately:
0.0033% of FY26 revenue from operations of ₹13,644.78 crore
0.057% of FY26 EBITDA of ₹785.38 crore
0.30% of FY26 PBT of ₹149.18 crore
0.35% of FY26 PAT of ₹128.28 crore
0.0025% of market cap of about ₹18,246 crore as per Screener’s 03 July close data.
On production quantity also, 450 tonnes is small by itself. It is 0.0013% of FY26 production of 35.52 MT, 0.0014% of FY26 offtake of 33.05 MT, and about 0.0048% of FY26 closing raw coal stock of 9.41 MT.
But the reported valuation is worth asking about. ₹45 lakh for 450 tonnes implies ₹10,000 per tonne. BCCL’s FY26 average sales per tonne was ₹3,085.76. Its FY26 raw coal average realisation was ₹2,809.61/tonne, while washed coking coal realisation was ₹9,760.19/tonne, with PCC at ₹10,666.90/tonne and MCC at ₹8,649.15/tonne. This does not prove the grade of the reported coal, because the checked news report does not clearly identify the coal grade. But the implied value makes grade, custody and reconciliation important questions.
The operating backdrop is also not strong. BCCL’s FY26 production fell from 40.50 MT to 35.52 MT, down 12.30%. Offtake fell from 38.26 MT to 33.05 MT, down 13.62%. Profit per tonne fell from ₹446.84 to ₹46.12. Trade receivables days increased from 34 to 67, and gross debtors rose from ₹2,218.10 crore to ₹3,024.97 crore.
Q1 FY27 production disclosures also show weakness.
BCCL’s June 2026 exchange disclosure says June raw coal production was 2.29 MT, down 11.8% YoY, and April–June raw coal production was 6.56 MT, down 27.5% YoY. Coking coal production for April–June was 6.21 MT, down 27.9% YoY.
So I am not saying this ₹45 lakh incident alone changes earnings. It probably does not.
The shareholder question is sharper:
How did armed persons reportedly enter a coal dump, overpower security, bring in multiple Hyvas and JCBs, load coal for nearly five hours, and leave — with no checked public confirmation yet of recovery, seizure or arrests?
The disclosure angle is also relevant. BCCL’s materiality policy says the company must assess events under Regulation 30 and consider whether omission may cause discontinuity of public information, significant market reaction if later disclosed, or crosses value thresholds; the policy also refers to disclosures being appropriate and consistent with the facts of each event. I did not find a specific NSE/BSE/BCCL disclosure on the Gazlitand 450-tonne incident in the checked sources as of 05 July 2026, subject to further verification. BCCL’s IR page shows other Regulation 30 disclosures and production disclosures, but I did not find this incident listed there.
For investors, the due-diligence questions are:
- Was the coal BCCL-owned stock, contractor-custody stock, or customer-linked stock?
- What was the exact grade and reconciled quantity?
- Was any coal recovered?
- Were the Hyvas/JCBs identified or seized?
- Were any accused persons arrested?
- Was insurance or contractor liability invoked?
- Did the incident affect dispatch, billing, customer supply, inventory, EBITDA, PAT or cash flow?
- Has BCCL made, or does it plan to make, any exchange clarification?
This post is not making an independent finding beyond the newspaper report. Where the report alleges criminal conduct, I am treating it as a reported allegation only. The investor issue is limited to stockyard controls, inventory custody, security, materiality and disclosure.

Best way to learn chart reading? YouTube vs Parth Sharma (The Valuation School)
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to learn technical analysis and chart reading properly. My goal is to understand price action, chart patterns, indicators, and how to analyze charts confidently.
I’m confused between:
Learning for free from YouTube, or
Buying Parth Sharma’s chart reading course from The Valuation School.
Has anyone taken his course? Is it worth the money, or should i just go for youtube
Also, does the certificate from The Valuation School have any value for getting internships or jobs?
Can anybody tell what I need to do now of this dividend or will it come automatically . In my bank account. Or anything there i need to do
Wanna invest money 2yesr grad

[Update] Moved from loss to profit on my college savings! Hold or sell FIVESTAR?
​
Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, I posted a screenshot here asking for guidance as a 19M college student who put his savings into Five-Star Business Finance Ltd (FIVESTAR) based on a friend's advice. At the time, my portfolio of 23 shares bought at an average price of ₹481.82 was down about 4% (a loss of ₹456.05).
For context here's the link of previous post -
https://www.reddit.com/r/EquityResearchIndia/s/7AOT8hMGUq
Since this is all my college savings, I want to act responsibly rather than let greed take over. I am stuck between two choices:
Hold long-term: The stock seems to have good momentum, but as a student, I cannot afford a massive drawdown if it pulls back.
Sell and diversify: Take my ~12% gains, book the profit, and move this capital into safer, diversified options like a Nifty 50 Index Fund or an ETF to protect my base.
Should I completely exit the position now, trim half to secure my initial capital, or just let it ride? Please share your thoughts on the stock's current valuation.
Thank you for helping a beginner out!

Need Historical NIFTY 50 OHLC Candle Data (2007–2026) for Backtesting & Research
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a backtesting and market research project and I'm looking for historical NIFTY 50 OHLC candle data covering the period from 2007 to 2026.
I'm mainly looking for any of these timeframes:
- 5-minute (preferred)
- 15-minute
- 30-minute
- 1-hour
CSV or Excel format would be perfect, but any commonly usable format is fine.
If anyone already has this data and is willing to share it, I'd really appreciate it.
If you don't have the data but know a reliable source, archive, or website where I can get it (free or paid), I'd be grateful for your suggestions as well.
The data will be used only for backtesting, market research, and educational purposes.
Thanks in advance for your help
IT stocks are back today. Did you buy the recent dip or wait it out?
After a few weeks of underperformance, IT stocks staged a strong comeback today. One of the key reasons was the fall in crude oil prices, which improved overall market sentiment and reduced concerns around inflation. When oil prices decline, investors often become more optimistic about economic growth, and sectors like IT can benefit from renewed buying interest.
For mutual fund investors, this raises an interesting question. If you hold flexi-cap, large-cap, or index funds, chances are you already have decent exposure to IT. But if you're investing in sectoral or thematic funds, today's rally might make you wonder whether it's time to increase your allocation—or whether this is just a short-term bounce.
Personally, I'm trying to avoid making decisions based on a single day's movement.
What would you do?
Tell in two words what TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL should do to rebuild industry?
Horrible commentary from management, panicking investors. They should have shown some confidence and good intensions, check this image attached
What’s happening in KPIT TECHNOLOGY
Can anyone just explain what is going on , in this company!!!!
Their margins is not shrinking that much but 16 percent drop in a single day is something worrying.
Bought Infosys at ₹1,200. Down ~18% now. Hold, average, or exit?
I bought Infosys (NSE: INFY) at around ₹1,200 thinking it was a good long-term investment. Instead, the stock has continued to fall and is now trading around ₹986, which puts me at a loss of roughly 18%.
Some things I’m looking at:
Current price: ₹986
My buy price: ₹1,200
P/E around 13.8
Dividend yield close to 4.9%
The stock is near its 52-week low
I’m a long-term investor (3–5+ years), but seeing a large-cap IT stock fall this much makes me wonder if the market is pricing in something much worse.
I’m trying to decide between:
Holding and waiting for recovery
Averaging down at current levels
Exiting and investing elsewhere
For those who follow the IT sector:
Do you think Infosys is undervalued here, or is this a value trap?
What would you do if your average price was ₹1,200?
Is this a good opportunity to accumulate, or would you wait for stronger signs of a turnaround?
