Seeking to improve efficiency in the approval process towards accelerating coal production, the government on Friday notified rules that does away with the Coal Controller Organisation’s (CCO) nod for opening a coal mine, individual seams or sections of a seam.

The notified amendment to the provisions entrusts the board of the concerned coal company with the authority to accord the required permissions. This would also apply to permission for re-starting mines that have not been operational for 180 days or more.
