I’m not believing they are sells. The spread is nice and tight making it hard to tell. Could quite easily be buys. It will be interesting when this lid does blow!!!

Can anybody please shed some light on what this means for us? Remember the July charter being of some importance to us.

The answer is clear.. MINE YOUR OWN COAL!!! https://www.banglanews24.com/banglanews-special/news/bd/1642685.details

Some great posts tonight Searcher! Everything is all point in the obvious direction of Phulbari👍🏼

No YkIT but it doesn’t mean it won’t be 🎤 📉

Other than that then GP all positivity 😁👍🏼

There are many factors to consider…

*Why has the price not dropped?

*There has been over £20k sells & only just over £1k in buys?

* tight spread? With the price not moving much at all over the last couple of days, even with considerable sells!

* Bara so very close to phulbari being mentioned in the same breath for OPM?

* Is it for a comparison stunt in the media sanctioned by the government?

* Are they both going to be mined and the 4way road leading to phulbari, will be even busier? Is that reason?

* is there going to be a joint takeover of GCM & Petrobangla?

* Or is it just GCM’s time!

So many questions?? With so much possibility & so much positivity!!!

😂😁

Let’s be honest… there is no way that all of those trades today where sells, we have buys of £263k and we budge from 8.75 to 8.77! This will be let loose soon and anyone not on board will miss out on the ride of there life’s! I personally feel it won’t be far away now.

We know it’s coming so load up and enjoy the ride!!!!

As of February 2026, Bangladesh is navigating a challenging energy landscape, characterized by high import dependency and scrutiny over coal contracts. Key developments include GCM Resources securing funding to advance the Phulbari coal mine project and a panel report indicating that an Adani Power coal supply deal is overpriced and flawed. Additionally, Indonesia's SGER has secured a $71.5 million coal supply contract with Bangladesh.

Key Coal News & Developments (February 2026)

Phulbari Coal Project: GCM Resources secured £1.25 million in funding to continue progress on its controversial open-pit coal mine project in Dinajpur, which aims to extract 572 million tons of coal.

Imported Coal Scandals: A Bangladesh government panel reported "serious anomalies" in contracts with Adani Power, claiming the imported coal is "excessively priced".

New Supplier: Indonesia's PT Sumber Global Energy Tbk (SGER) secured a $71.5 million deal to supply coal to Bangladesh.

Energy Strategy: Drafts of the Integrated Energy and Power Master Plan (IEPMP) 2026 show continued reliance on imported fossil fuels, despite aiming for higher domestic coal production, with warnings that energy import dependency could reach 90% by 2030.

Environmental & Social Concerns: The proposed Phulbari project faces ongoing opposition, with concerns about displacing communities and disrupting water sources.

The reliance on coal comes amid a broader debate on energy security and the slow adoption of renewable energy alternatives in Bangladesh.

Well they won 🚀 🚀 🚀 so let’s see what happens tomorrow and over the next coming weeks. It should only be upwards from here on in 👍🏼

Let’s just hope we see a fair rise if all goes to plan!

This is huge News 💥 why else would they need a 4 way road to phulbari…. I’m glad I wasn’t out of this over the weekend 😏 🎉 🍻

It shows how much the price is being manipulated as we have more buys than sells and still we are down!!! Stock up while you can at these prices!!!

This is the best bit 😁

What experts say….

The Centre for Policy Dialogue provided its reaction to the draft Energy and Power Master Plan 2025 during a press conference held on 15 January.

During the event, CPD Research Director Khondaker Golam Moazzem stated that the draft master plan does not adequately reflect the role of renewable energy. He noted that under the guise of "resource optimisation," priority has been given to the use of domestic coal. Furthermore, he alleged that other carbon-emitting fuels have been bundled under the label of solar power.

According to the plan, 3D seismic surveys in the Chattogram and Sylhet regions are scheduled to commence this year. The strategy also includes LNG imports, the modernisation of Eastern Refinery, and the installation of a Single Point Mooring. An assessment for coal extraction from the Barapukuria mine will be carried out. Additionally, the gas transmission network will be expanded, costs will be controlled, discipline will be brought to subsidies, and gas wastage will be reduced.

The government anticipates that new gas extraction from offshore sources will be possible between 2030 and 2040. The Matarbari LNG terminal will also become operational during this period. Furthermore, fuel oil refining capacity will be increased, and it will be possible to develop the Dighipara and Jamalganj coal mines.
