Coal India tender for public private partnership by March.

A year after Finance Minister P Chidambaram pitched for a public-private partnership (PPP) model for Coal India Ltd. (CIL) to bridge the demand-supply gap in the sector, the state-owned miner is set to come out with a tender in this regard next month.

The board discussed the matter recently. 'It will be a turnkey-based long-term agreement,' Chairman S Narsing Rao said after the meeting.
