Policymakers have instead asked state-owned giant Coal India Ltd. to boost output and the railway to help secure timely transport to power stations, they added.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -1.0% on the day at ₹389.00, and has returned -6.8% over three months. It sits 19% below its 52-week high. The metals & mining sector has moved -9.5% over the same period, so Coal India is running 2.7 points ahead of its peers.
For Coal India, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the metals & mining peer set alongside it.
