Furthermore, CIL has a pit-head stock of about 45 mt and daily production of 2.5 mt. A few power plants are not able to set up sufficient coal stock because of payment issues.

CIL said its first-ever offer of 5.2 lakh tonnes of coal under the newly updated single-window e-auction received an outstanding response from coal consumers as 100% of the offered quantity got booked.

After merging their earlier auction windows into one, Coal India conducted an online auction in two of its subsidiaries.
