New Delhi: The government on Thursday said it will develop model terms of reference (TORs) for coal projects to bring down the time taken in assigning environmental clearances to such projects from 3-5 years. Coalmine developers use the TORs in assessing the impact of mining projects on environment, and standard TORs can enable them to do this assessment in advance.
