The number of captive coal blocks, among the re-allocated ones, producing the mineral has come down to 11 from 17 at the end of FY19, reveals the latest data tabled in the Parliament.
According to information furnished by coal minister Pralhad Joshi in the Rajya Sabha, major coal blocks, including the Parsa East and Kanta Basan in Chhattisgarh are no longer on the list of ‘producing mines’ and so are Barjora in West Bengal and Tadichelra-1 in Telangana.
