Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. (BCCL)<\/a> approved a diesel price variation mechanism for eligible contractors on June 4, following a Rs 7.5 per litre spike in fuel prices since May 15, the company disclosed in a BSE regulatory filing on Friday. The decision was cleared at back-to-back meetings of BCCL’s Committee of Functional Directors (CFD) held on June 3 and June 4.<\/p>\n

The Trigger: Diesel Prices Jump Rs 7.5 Per Litre<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This wasn’t routine policy. Since May 15, petrol and diesel prices have risen by approximately Rs 7.5 per litre, a move steep enough to trigger a formal warning from ratings agency Crisil. Crisil flagged that elevated fuel costs could push up transportation and manufacturing expenses and eventually feed into consumer inflation if global crude oil prices remain elevated.<\/p>\n

For BCCL’s contractors operating diesel-heavy fleets for mining and haulage, the margin pressure became acute fast. The CFD convened within weeks of the price revision, a signal that contractor pressure had escalated quickly through formal channels.<\/p>\n
