What is Coal Linkage Auction on MSTC

Coal linkage auctions are a specific, higher-stakes category on MSTC relevant to industrial buyers with genuine, ongoing coal requirements.

These auctions relate to securing coal supply linkages — essentially competitive access to coal allocation — rather than a simple one-time purchase of a physical lot.

Eligibility and participation requirements for coal linkage auctions tend to be more specific than general scrap auctions, often requiring demonstrated industrial use case and capacity.

Given the complexity and stakes involved, businesses considering coal linkage participation benefit from understanding the specific eligibility and compliance framework well before attempting to bid.
