Private firms made windfall gain of Rs 1.86 lakh crore from coal blocks: CAG
Issue Date: Aug 17, 2012
The Comptroller and Auditor General's (CAG) final report on the allocation of coal blocks and coal production, says that the private sector made a windfall gain of Rs 1.86 lakh crore between 2004 till now.

A part of this profit would have gone to the public exchequer.
