NEW DELHI: State-run Coal India Ltd (CIL), which has been in the bad books of the government for a while, now due to its poor performance has been pulled up once again for its progress of development of the additional coal blocks allotted to them.
Recently, the government had enquired about the operational status of the 110 coal blocks allotted to them and whether extraction from these coal blocks is techno-economically feasible. To this, the government was told that of the 110 additional CIL blocks, 50 were explored, 41 were under exploration and balance 19 were partly or regionally explored.
