Government plans online clearances to coal mining projects
New Delhi: The government proposes to give online clearances to coal mining projects, an official statement said. The mine online application system for the entire mining plan approval process is proposed to be made online for application, processing and approval. This system will ultimately interact with PARIVESH portal of the environment ministry and similar portals of other related ministries and organisations of the central and state governments, an official statement said.
The coal ministry on Monday said has decided to simplify the process of clearance for coal mining projects to expedite operationalisation of already allotted coal blocks and encourage prospective investors in future auctions.
