Introducing set of reforms to the existing Mines and Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, the government has recommended sale of 50% of the coal produced from captive mines in order to increase domestic availability and reduce imports. In another suggestion, additional amount has been proposed for coal blocks where mining leases are granted and extended.
