NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian government will allot 11 new coal mines to Coal India (Ltd), adding 225 million tonnes to the state miner's annual production capacity, a government statement said on Friday.
The mines, located in Odisha, Jharkhand and Bihar, will help boost local production and reduce the country's dependence on imported fuel.
