Govt awards 18 coal mines to private operators
The government has awarded 18 out of 28 coal mining projects, identified for development through mining operators-cum-developers (MDOs), to leading private firms. These projects, initially 15 but now expanded to 28 with a combined capacity of 257 million tonnes, aim to enhance coal production and operational efficiency. The MDOs, selected via global tenders, will handle the entire mining process, boosting domestic coal output and modernizing practices through advanced technology.
