Other notable bidders include Bharat Aluminium Company, Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation, Orissa Metaliks, Lloyds Metal, and Odisha Coal and Power.

The bids will undergo a technical evaluation by a multi-disciplinary committee, with the shortlisted bidders proceeding to the electronic auction stage on the MSTC portal. This move is part of the government's strategy to boost domestic coal production and reduce reliance on imports.
