Ministry of Coal has launched a Project Monitoring Unit for facilitation of early operationalisation of coal mines allocated by the Central Government. This is an important step forward to promote Ease of Doing Business as it will hand-hold and support Coal mines allocatees in obtaining timely approval and permissions to operationalise the mines. Coal Secretary Anil Kumar Jain addressed the allocatees on the occasion through a video conference and asked them to freely utilise the services of the Consultant in sorting out their issues so that coal production may begin at the earliest.
