Govt not to hive off Coal India arm CMPDIL, say unions
Coal India’s union leaders say they have been assured by the government that the company’s exploration, planning and design arm will not be hived off.
They said the government is looking at the possibility of making National Minerals Exploration Trust (NMET) autonomous, and make it accessible to other explorers.
Union leaders earlier said they would oppose any plan to hive off Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDIL) and make its services available to private miners.
