Govt plans to get clearances for 112 coal mines before auction

摘要

Government is looking at the possibility of putting in place all clearances for 112 mines before they are auctioned in the second phase, so that they fetch higher revenue for the exchequer, a top official said. "We are toying with the idea whether we can first get clearances of the coal blocks (around 112 mines) and then hand them over," Coal Secretary Anil Swarup said at an interactive session organised by industry body Assocham.
