After getting clearance from the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and coal ministry, it is now confirm that Rao will be the new chairman of CIL.

The CVC and coal ministry has sent its approval to the Prime minister’s office. Rao is likely to join CIL as a chairman the next week. Coal India had been without a chief for eleven months now. Ironically, Rao is the fourth non-CIL nominee for the top post.
