Coal India Ltd.

Coal India (CIL) has begun tranche-VII of the linkage auction to non-regulated sector (NRS) within days of completion of tranche-VI. CIL has proactively increased the tenure of fuel supply agreement (FSA) to 10 years, beginning with seventh tranche, to ensure long term assurance of coal supply through linkage auction to NRS.   

For sponge iron sub-sector customers tranche-VII of linkage auction has commenced in the last week of December 2023, to meet their coal demand, even though the conversion ratio of successful bids into FSAs was low, by this sector, in tranche-VI.
