The government is understood to have awarded a coal block each to Tata Sons-Sasol joint venture

The companies would soon be awarded prospecting licenses for the two coal blocks. Jindal Steel and Power Ltd confirmed the allotment in a statement. Initially, the government had planned one pilot project of up to $8 billion project in Orissa for converting coal into liquid petroleum that would produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

There would now be two CTL projects, for which one coal block each has been awarded to the two companies. The projects would take at least five years to commence production.
