Out of 12 coal blocks auctioned in Odisha, only three mines belonging to public sector companies have been operationalised in past six years, says FICCI Secretary General
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has pressed for the operationalisation of coal blocks which have been allocated in Odisha since 2015. Out of 12 coal blocks auctioned in Odisha, only three mines belonging to public sector companies had been operationalised in past six years while mines allocated to private sector companies and other government companies had not been made functional largely due to delay in land acquisition and statutory approvals, said FICCI’s Secretary General Dilip Chenoy. Mr. Chenoy recently made a representation on behalf of different coal manufacturers and other industries in a letter addressed to Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mohapatra.
