- Recently,Union cabinet has decided to permit 100% foreign direct investment(FDI) in the coal sector.
- This decision is likely to help the coal-bearing states to get more revenue and bring in more players to create an efficient and competitive coal market.
- However,experts have said that right kind of policies are needed to ensure that global players come to India.
- The policies would include a (a)single-window clearance to ensure approvals on environment clearance (b)mining leases and (c)land acquisition are processed in a time bound manner.
