Das said Nalco was planning to file a review petition in the Supreme Court, which cancelled a coal block allotted to it. Nalco’s Utkal E coal block was among the 214 coal blocks cancelled by the apex court recently.
The coal block had been allotted to Nalco in 2004 for the coal requirement of its captive plant in Odisha’s Angul district.
