Coal India Limited, the state-owned miner, issued a press release on 5 June 2026 saying it is taking steps to offer more coal to the Non-Regulated Sector (NRS).

The NRS covers buyers outside the power utilities, such as cement, steel, sponge iron and other industrial users, who typically source coal through auctions and linkages. Greater availability to this segment can affect both Coal India’s realisations and input supply for those industries.

Coal India has a market value of about Rs 2.82 lakh crore and trades at roughly 9 times earnings. Its shares eased about 1.9% on the day to around Rs 473, and are up about 25% over the past year.

The information is taken from Coal India’s press release filed with NSE and BSE on 5 June 2026. This note is for information only and is not investment advice.
