Bharat Coking Coal defers board meet to April 22; Q4 results on agenda

Bharat Coking Coal Limited has postponed its 441st board meeting, originally scheduled for April 18, 2026, to April 22, citing unavoidable circumstances.The meeting will consider and approve the company’s audited standalone financial results for the fourth quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026, following a review by the audit committee. The postponement notice was issued under Regulation 29 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, superseding the earlier communication dated April 11.
