MSTC Limited is a government enterprise that runs one of India's largest e-auction platforms — the primary channel through which PSUs, government departments, and industrial units dispose of scrap, surplus assets, and specific resources like coal.
Unlike a fixed-price sale, MSTC operates on a competitive bidding model — registered bidders compete in live online auctions for specific lots, with the highest qualifying bid generally winning.
The range of what's sold through MSTC is broad: ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap, vehicles, mining leases, coal linkages, and surplus PSU assets all pass through the platform, each with its own auction structure and buyer pool.
For traders and businesses, MSTC represents a genuinely recurring sourcing channel — given the continuous operations of India's PSU and industrial sector, new lots are consistently coming to auction across categories.
