✅ JSPL & WCL win key coal mines in India’s 11th auction round
✅ Move to enhance domestic coal production and cut imports
✅ Supports energy security, cost efficiency, and industrial growth
In a significant development for India's coal and steel sectors, Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) and Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL) emerged as key winners in the 11th round of coal mine auctions conducted by the government. The auction, aimed at enhancing domestic coal production and reducing dependency on imports, saw major participation from leading industrial players.
JSPL secured a crucial coal block, strengthening its raw material supply chain for steel and power production. Meanwhile, WCL, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, won key assets to bolster its operational capacity and ensure a steady supply to power and industrial units.
The auction aligns with the government’s vision of energy security and self-reliance, ensuring that industries get affordable and uninterrupted coal supplies. Officials stated that this move would also increase competition, improve efficiency, and attract private investments in coal mining.
Industry experts believe that securing domestic coal mines will help steel and power producers mitigate price volatility in global markets and support India's ambitious infrastructure and manufacturing growth plans.
