Coal India cuts prices, revenue may be hit – report

Coal India , the world's largest coal miner, cut prices
on Monday, a move that may weigh on the state-run company's revenue, the Mint
newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing a senior government official.

“The exercise of reviewing the prices has been done.
There is definitely a reduction,” the newspaper quoted Alok Perti, coal
secretary, as saying after a board meeting of the company. “Probably there
could be a reduction in the revenue.”

Coal India will implement a new pricing mechanism by the
month-end but will ensure this will not result in higher prices for power
producers, federal coal minister Sriprakash Jaiswal had said last week.
