ROURKELA: The OMC Limited, in a course correction, rescheduled the national e-auction date for sale of minerals to May 21. The change of date came shortly after the news about clashing of the schedule with the date of voting in Sundargarh district on May 20 was published in TNIE on Tuesday.
MSTC Ltd, a government of India enterprise rendering e-commerce services and conducting the e-auction for OMC Ltd, on Wednesday through email informed the prospective bidders that the national e-auction originally scheduled for May 20 at 11 am has been rescheduled to May 21 at 11 am.
