Coal India up nearly 3% as analysts see better Q4 performance

Brokerage ICICI Securities said that it believes the coal miner will better its growth in Q4FY22 as high demand for domestic coal due to high thermal power PLFs, and elevated international coal prices are resulting in high e-auction volumes and premiums. 
 
Going ahead, Edelweiss Research expects robust e-auction premium and improving volume to boost the company's performance. Moreover, a price hike for linkage coal may be on the anvil, according to Jefferies. It assumes a 10 per cent likely hike in 1QFY23. "We expect the price hike to offset the wage escalation", said Edelweiss Research.
