"Global tender notice for supply of imported coking and PCI coal. Sealed tenders are invited for supply of 3.75 lakh MT coking coal and 75,000 MT PCI with the shipping tolerance of 10 per cent as per the specifications indicated in the tender document," an RINL notification said.

PCI is a process that involves injecting large volumes of fine coal particles into the raceway of the blast furnace. Under Ministry of Steel, RINL is among top six steel producers in the country with an annual capacity of about 7.5 million tonne.
