The Centre on Tuesday said the second tranche of commercial coal mines’ auction has received tremendous response which is reflected in around 50 mine specific tender documents being purchased by bidders till date.
Moreover, many other prospective bidders are in the process of registration and purchase of tender documents from the auction portal, the coal ministry said in a statement.
“The response to this auction tranche, till now, has been tremendous,” it said.
The bid submission date has been extended to enable interested parties travel to mine locations for inspection once the lockdown curbs are removed in states, it added.
