Supreme Court Upholds Coal India's 2006 Coal Policy

The Supreme Court has made a decision about Coal India's old rule from 2006.

This rule made companies in certain industries pay 20% more for coal.

The court said this rule was fair and legal.

This means the companies that complained about the extra charge won't get any money back.

The court also explained that Coal India wasn't just trying to make a profit with this rule.

They were trying to make sure everyone had enough coal.

The court reviewed if Coal India had the power to make this rule, if the extra charge was okay, and if the companies should get their money back.

The court decided Coal India could make the rule, the extra charge was valid, and there would be no refunds.
