Why did Coal India share price jump today?

The stock rose about 6.9% after Coal India let buyers from Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan bid directly in SWMA e-auctions from January 1, 2026. Investors expect higher auction premiums, faster inventory clearance, and improved cash flows, which boosted sentiment and helped the stock hit a fresh 52-week high.

What exactly changed in the Coal India e-auction rules?

Entities from Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan can now participate directly in Coal India’s SWMA e-auctions. This expands the bidder pool, enhances price discovery, and can support better realizations in select grades and locations. The change is effective January 1, 2026, as reported by Reuters and The Hindu.

Is Coal India overbought after today’s move?

Short-term signals say yes. RSI is 82.30, MFI is 80.41, and price closed above the Bollinger upper band at ₹415.26. That often precedes consolidation. Support sits around ₹405 to ₹400. A pause or pullback would be healthy if volumes remain orderly and auction premiums hold up.

When is the next results date for Coal India?

Coal India’s next earnings announcement is on January 27, 2026. We will watch commentary on auction premiums, offtake trends, logistics, and capital allocation, including dividend plans. These details will help assess whether today’s gains can sustain and guide the next leg for Coal India share price.
