MoC focuses on starting production in auctioned mines
The Ministry of Coal (MoC) is taking various steps to resolve issues related to auctioned mines and allotted blocks, and bring them to production. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier asked MoC to strongly focus on starting production in auctioned and allotted mines by tracking land transfer, mining leases and clearances among others, in coordination with state governments.
Coal Secretary Anil Swarup had earlier said that around 15 more auctioned coal mines would begin production by March 31, taking the total number of producing mines from eight to 23.
