The maiden move aimed at cutting coal imports is set to end the monopoly of domestic giant Coal India that accounts for over 80 percent of India’s dry-fuel output. He said that the government will invite global players for this, as 100 percent FDI in coal will lead to more investors in coal mining operations with better technology.
