Anticipated yield of selected group: 3,050 t | 2026-06-03. Same 4-entry group; estimate, not actual sales.
It is a channel for selling the forestry company’s own resources, rather than an open multi-vendor exchange. The verified notice concerns standing eucalyptus intended as industrial pulpwood and identifies MSTC as the electronic platform. TAFCORN’s wider sales catalogue also includes other product groups, such as cashew and seedlings; their appearance there does not mean they are offered in every regional auction.
An annex to the notice for 3 June 2026 lists 109.42 hectares and anticipated yield of 3,050 tonnes for a selected group of four Panayappatty entries planted in 2007. This is only part of a larger notice and relates to the specified third- and fourth-rotation plantation group. It is neither the total area of the sale nor a record of timber actually sold. The two indicators illustrate the size of a defined portion of the offering, with their restricted scope explicitly retained in the spreadsheet.
The notice requires bidder registration with both TAFCORN and MSTC. It describes a standing-tree sale under which the buyer organises harvesting, debarking, stacking and transport in accordance with the contract. A purchaser must therefore assess execution capacity as well as the price of raw material. Before bidding, inspect the plantations, establish access conditions and estimate equipment, labour and haulage costs. The catalogue’s anticipated yield is not a substitute for an independent assessment of the resource and the practical risks of carrying out the work.
Important commercial questions concern the basis for measuring quantities, payment deadlines, security, the work schedule and collection. Conditions from one notice should not automatically be applied to subsequent sales, so they have not been presented as permanent operator tariffs. Prospective outside sellers should also understand the business model: the published offering concerns TAFCORN resources. A business hoping to sell its own timber must separately establish whether any collaboration is possible; the existence of an electronic platform does not itself create that opportunity.
A notice, its conditions and estimated quantities are not the results of a completed auction. The tender page is useful for finding subsequent offerings, while participation requires separate formalities. Logistics should be planned around the named plantation and Pudukkottai regional arrangements, rather than the company headquarters in Tiruchirappalli. Future catalogue additions should retain the notice identifier, session date and plantation group so that repeat references to the same offering are not incorrectly counted as additional volumes.
