NEW DELHI: For higher supply of coking coal in the country and to ensure it is provided at a cheaper rate, the government is considering measures like linking the price of domestic coking coal to the imported dry fuel.
It is also planning on identification of additional coking coal blocks for production by state-run Coal India Ltd (CIL) and private sector, auction of coal bed methane (CBM) overlap coking coal blocks, and allocation of coking coal linkages by CIL to private washeries to boost coking coal production in India.
