Coal India’s exploration arm, Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Ltd (CMPDIL), will soon receive INR 1,240 crore from the Centre towards the exploration of coal blocks that will be auctioned to commercial coal miners.
Earlier, the monetary allocation was INR 250 crore for exploration of non-Coal India blocks. The amount had substantially increased from the earlier years, thanks to the opening up of commercial coal mining.
