Simultaneous e-auctions for other mining sites were going on and there was technical glitch: SC
The Supreme Court has dismissed Jindal Steel & Power Ltd's appeal to stop the development of the Chhendipada coal mine in Odisha. Rungta Sons, the highest bidder in an e-auction of commercial coal mines, was granted the coal block. JSPL claimed that technical glitches on the MSTC portal prevented them from submitting a higher bid. However, the court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision and rejected JSPL's petition.
