COAL
To open up a larger window for commercial mining of coal by private investors, having recently decided to permit such private operators in the coal mining sector, the Indian government has started identifying additional coal blocks to be auctioned for exclusive extraction of alternative fuel. According to a Coal Ministry official, the new coal blocks will be identified over the next two months and auctioned during the current financial year for projects, including coal-to-gas, coal-to-liquid (CTL) and coal-to-polychemicals.
