In fact, Coal continues to play a major role in the economic development of a country, especially in metallurgical i ndustries and conventional power generation plants. Coal is the dominant energy source in India, account ing for more than half of the country's requirements.70% of India's coal production is used for power generation, with the remainder being used by heavy industry and public use. In a bid to break the public sector monopoly over coal, the government is seek ing to introduce legislative changes allowing for private mining, whilst liberalizing norms for the allocation of captive blocks permitting trading of coal. The government is contempl ating the allocation of captive blocks for setting up was here in the pri vate sector. Captive block holders would also be permitted to sell their coal on the open market. The current legislative requirements permit private - sector investment only for the limited purpose of setting up coal washeries and captive mining for specifi ed end - uses, including setting up power plants, fertilizer and steel units.
