The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Friday cleared award of four Coal Bed Methane (CBM) blocks to an Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group-led consortium and three blocks to a consortium led by Australia's Arrow Energy.

One block was awarded to British Petroleum and two to Coalgas, sources said.

The ADAG-led consortium includes REL-RNRL-GeoPetrol, while the Arrow Energy-led consortium comprises Arrow-GAIL-EIG.
