Kishan Reddy flags ‘urgent need’ for reforms in SCCL, seeks tripartite review
Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy announced the formation of a special committee to oversee the tender process for coal blocks at Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), citing concerns over illegal activities and financial difficulties. He claimed that dues owed by the Telangana government have risen significantly, impacting SCCL's ability to pay salaries and operate effectively. The Centre is ready to take on responsibility for running SCCL profitably if the state government hands it over. TGGENCO, a government entity that buys coal from SCCL, also contributes to price increases due to its influence.
