New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) India has a potential to export 15 million tonnes of coal to its neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bangladesh, according to a study.
By promoting exports, increasing domestic production, and facilitating import substitution, the country aims to achieve self-reliance, strengthen energy security and support the growth of the coal sector.
"According to a study conducted by IIM Ahmedabad, there may exist potential of exporting 15 MT to the...neighbouring countries," the coal ministry said in a statement.
The country has a capacity to export 8 million tonnes (MT) of coal to Bangladesh, 3 MT to Myanmar, 2 MT to Nepal and 2 MT to others.
The increased production and export of coal will lead to economic growth, create jobs and generate revenue for the government.
