Vedanta might bid for coal mines
Vedanta is planning to acquire coal mines via auctions to ensure fuel security for its energy-guzzling aluminium plants. The government has not finalised the dates for holding a fourth round of coal mine. The company added imported coal prices softened 20 per cent in 2015-16. Vedanta group firm Balco had won the Chotia and Gare Palma IV/1 blocks, both in Chhattisgarh, in the first tranche of auctions on February 17 and 21 last year, respectively.
