A Parliamentary Panel has asked the government to allocate 138 coal blocks to state-run Coal India Ltd to help it meet production targets for the current and the next plan period and bridge demand-supply gap.
“The Committee urged upon the (Coal) Ministry to consider the request of Coal India for allotment of 138 coal blocks identified by it, other wise Coal India will not be able to achieve the coal production target envisaged in XIth and XIIth Five Year Plan,” Standing Committee on Coal and Steel said in its report.
Coal India Ltd (CIL) has envisaged to achieve annual production target of 520 million tonnes by the end of the XIth Five-Year Plan Period (2007-12) and 664 million tonnes by the end of the XIIth Five-Year Plan Period (2012-2017).
