This is the normal auction declared by IOC, which normally takes place at the end of the month having delivery period in the next calendar month.
Notably, in the month of Nov’18, IOC had to conduct a mid-term auction on 14 Nov’18, as 50,000 MT was left over from the normal auction conducted on 29 Oct’18 for 90,000MT.
As the demand of pet coke is gradually picking up, it would be interesting to observe whether the entire quantity offered in this auction gets sold, or if some quantity remains unsold like the auction conducted at the end of Oct’18.
Major cement industries from Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand are expected to participate in the auction.
