On June 20, the government allowed Coal India Ltd. to import coal and supply to power producers on a cost-plus basis, which will be ultimately borne by the consumer. In another step in a bid to streamline the operations and ensure transparency within the system for effectiveness, group of Ministers approved a draft Coal Regulator Bill likely to be passed.
