Expansion into Coal Market

It aims to provide an organised, transparent, and technology-enabled marketplace for coal trading in accordance with the Coal Exchange Rules, 2026.

Facilitating Efficient Trades

By bringing buyers and sellers together on a single, neutral platform, Indian Coal Exchange will facilitate trades at designated delivery points, enabling efficient price discovery and wider market access.

Ind-Ra has also affirmed the ‘IND A1+’ rating on the commercial paper programmes of MOFSL, MOFL and Motilal Oswal Wealth Limited (MOWL).

Stronger Business Profile
