This would facilitate the conclusion of a number of deals particularly in Cement sector stuck due to this provision.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lok Sabha clears Bankruptcy bill, an important step ahead in improving the ease of doing business. The bill essentially aims to simplify the process of winding up of a bankrupt company which is currently governed through many separate laws. (More on this, in a separate story)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Government clears new coal supply linkage policy providing flexibility in sourcing of coal based on the distance of the power plant from the coal mines. As per the earlier policy, each power station was linked to a coal mine depending upon the availability at the time of application and was supplied from there only. (Loosely, it can be compared to children being sent to school nearest to their home rather than the school where they got admission. :))<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Telecom Commission, Deptt. of Telecom, approves base price of Rs 11,485 crore per Mhz for all India license for 700 Mhz frequency.
