Coal India to offer 35 MTs to non-regulated sector in upcoming linkage auction window

Coal India is auctioning 35 million tonnes of high-grade coal to the non-regulated sector to reduce import dependency. The move aims to support domestic industries like sponge iron manufacturing while providing more flexibility to participants.
Why it matters
This policy shift is intended to stabilize domestic supply chains and reduce the economic impact of volatile international coal prices.
State-owned Coal India informed on Friday (June 5, 2026) that it would be putting on offer 35 million tonnes (MTs) of high gross-calorific value (GCV) under the linkage auction window to be held June 12.
