The mine was put on offer yesterday and the bidding for the block lasted for over 12 hours.” The companies which were vying for Gare Palma IV/2 and IV/3 mines included Adani Power Maharashtra, D B Power, GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Ltd, Jindal Power Ltd, Jindal India Thermal Power Ltd, JSW Energy Ltd, KSK Mahanadi Power Company Ltd, Reliance Geothermal Power Pvt Ltd and Sesa Sterlite.

The companies in the race for the block includes ACC Ltd, Hindalco Industries, Hindustan Zinc, Jaypee Cement Corp, Monnet Ispat & Energy, OCL India Ltd Ltd and UltraTech Cement Ltd. States, including Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and West Bengal, are set to get over Rs 50,000 crore from the coal blocks sold in the ongoing auction, sources said.
