NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India has extended the deadline for bidding for offshore mineral blocks by one month, an official with the country’s mines ministry said on Thursday.
India in November launched the auction of 13 offshore mineral blocks worth more than 1.5 trillion rupees ($17.20 billion).
The official declined to be identified because the notification is not yet public.
