The Ministry of Coal has launched a new mine opening permission module on the single window clearance system (SWCS) portal.
The initiative aims to speed up and simplify the approval process for opening coal mines. By using digital tools, the module will increase transparency, improve efficiency, and reduce the time it takes to process approvals. This move will make it easier to do business in the coal sector and help attract investment, supporting faster approvals. The new mine opening permission module allows for online applications and real-time tracking, removing the need for paperwork and reducing delays.
