State-owned CIL on Tuesday said the total coal allocation under its four e-auction windows registered about 65% year-on-year rise during the first half of the current financial year.
“Coal India Ltd (CIL) booked 41.4 million tonnes (MT) raw coal in e-auctions during April-September 2020, compared with 25.1 MT booked in the corresponding period last fiscal,” the company said in a statement.
The increase in volume terms stood at 16.3 MT, it added.
With the industrial and commercial activities reviving after the unlock, CIL is hopeful that the demand sustains and the sales get boosted soon.
