AI summary

MCX received SEBI approval on April 17, 2026 to incorporate a new wholly-owned subsidiary for trading coal. The new entity, likely named 'MCX Coal Exchange Ltd.', will be 100% held by MCX initially with scope for strategic partners. MCX will commit up to ₹100 crore to meet minimum net worth norms. The exchange will offer a digital platform for physical coal delivery and price discovery. This expands MCX's energy segment beyond crude oil, natural gas, and electricity futures.

Likely market impact

Strategic expansion into coal with ₹100 Cr capital outlay. Positive for long-term growth, though near-term costs may weigh on margins.
