I fully agree with Mr. Shenoy's views about coal. We need to do more for making domestic coal available which is a huge resource.
Sasol is world leader in developing technology for converting coal into oil. If they are not interested in giving the technology to India, we should develop it on our own. Indian Oil Corporation has an excellent R&D centre. Why can't Coal India too have a similar R&D centre for developing such technologies ? Another interesting technology is to convert coal into SNG (Synthetic or Substitute Natural Gas).
