MOIL is planning to diversify into the power sector.
The company has floated an EoI seeking a tie-up with private mine developers for jointly securing, exploring, mining and commercially exploiting coal blocks allotted under government dispensation route. Once it gets the response, MOIL will decide on signing one or more MoUs with a provision for ultimately converting them into SPVs and JVs. By mid-April 2012, MOIL will invite companies that respond to the EoI for presentations after which the MOIL board will pick up partners with best offers. Under the plan, the coal mined from the block will be used to fuel a power plant set up by the MOIL and its partner.
Meanwhile, MOIL is holding discussions with the Madhya Pradesh Government for land to set up a power plant in the state.
