State-owned CIL’s 114 ongoing coal projects, costing Rs 20 crore and above, are under different stages of implementation, according to a report.
Implementation and completion of these projects depend upon critical extraneous factors such as possession of land, green clearances and evacuation infrastructure, the Coal Ministry said in its annual report 2020-21.
In 2020, total 34 projects were sanctioned and nine mining projects completed by Coal India Ltd (CIL), it said.
The coal behemoth took various measures to ensure timely completion of projects.
There was persistent persuasion by CIL with state governments for expediting land authentication in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
