Cabinet Approves CoalSETU Window for Coal Linkage Auction
On December 12, 2025, the Union Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved a policy introducing the 'CoalSETU window'. This initiative, part of ongoing coal sector reforms, allows for the auction of coal linkages on a long-term basis for any industrial use and export, excluding coking coal. The addition to the NRS Linkage Policy facilitates broader participation and aims to optimize coal resource utilization by easing end-use restrictions, thereby potentially reducing dependence on imported coal.
