State government has demanded allotment of one coal block out of Tara/Durgapur-II/Sariya/Morga-I coal blocks to CMDC for commercial mining.
CMDC has invested Rs 625 crore on development of five allotted coal blocks including Tara, Gorepelma Sector-1. All kinds of legal permissions have also been taken by CMDC for these coal blocks, said a DPR press release.
Now, Central Government has marked Tara, Gorepelama Sector-1 and Madanpur North Coal Blocks for allotment to power sector and other states (non host). This is the reason why CMDC cannot apply for these coal blocks. The coal blocks which have been marked by Centre for commercial mining in Chhattisgarh are not commercially feasible, the release said.
