NEW DELHI, April 15 (UPI) -- India said it has awarded a total of 23 coal-bed methane blocks to various companies after the third round of bidding.

In addition to 23 CBM blocks, government of India also awarded two blocks on nomination basis to the Oil and Natural Gas Corp. and Coal India Ltd. as well as one block to Great Eastern Energy Corp.
