Joshi unveils single window clearance
Coal Minister Pralhad Joshi on Monday said the next tranche of commercial mines auction will be unveiled this month and stressed that further rounds would continue thereafter.
Speaking at the agreement signing ceremony for commercial coal mining and unveiling of a single-window clearance system, he said commercial coal mining had been made a part of the system now. “The next tranche of commercial mining auction would be launched in January 2021, and further tranches will continue thereafter,” the Minister said.
Synopsis
Presently, about 19 major approval or clearances are required before starting a coal mine in the country. In the absence of a unified platform for grant of clearances, the companies were required to approach different departments leading to delay in operationalisation of coal mines, Joshi said.
