There are no restrictions on the sale or utilization of coal.  Notably, eligibility criteria have been eliminated, removing any technical or financial barriers to participation.  Also, a strategic shift from the notified price to the national coal Index ensures transparency and fairness, establishing a market-driven pricing mechanism, the Coal Ministry said. 

The amendment of mineral laws has been instrumental in unlocking the coal sector, providing an equitable playing field for both public and private sector players, and allowing auctions for various purposes, including own consumption and sale.

For ease of doing business, the Ministry of Coal has conceptualized a Single Window Clearance System (SWCS) portal to create a platform to obtain various clearances for the early operationalization of coal mines, ultimately resulting in the augmentation of coal production in the country through a single gateway.  These reforms serve as pillars of progress and resilience in the coal sector. 

Detailed information regarding the mines, auction terms, and timelines can be accessed on the MSTC auction platform.  The auction will be conducted online through a transparent process, based on the Percentage Revenue Share model, the statement said.
