Captive Coal Blocks in India 2009
Infraline Energy, Sep 2009, Pages: 300
India has envisaged to add a capacity of approximately 78000MW to meet the growing power demand in the country during the 11th Five Year Plan out of which about 50570 MW is being planned through coal based thermal power projects only. An ambitious target of 36 MT was kept for 2008-2009 from captive coal blocks but actual production during the year was only 30 MT resulting in a shortfall of around 17% against the target. An ambitious target of 104 MT has been kept for 2011-12, the terminal year of the Xlth Five Year Plan and to achieve this, requires a growth rate of around 35-40% in captive block segment.
During last few years with growing thermal power generation, coal supply is proving to be a major cause of concern. With such a massive coal based capacity addition planned, there were apprehensions that coal companies may not be able to cater to the enhanced coal requirement.
The shortage scenario in the country multiplied with production deficit of CIL and its subsidiaries forced the coal ministry to think of an alternative and it decided to allocate captive mines to the bulk users of coal such as power, cement industries. The incumbent power utilities and cement industries have no previous experience of coal mine development, it was apprehended that the mine development may get delayed which would in turn defeat the very purpose of allocation.
The apprehension is just coming out to be true as after allocating approximately 210 blocks, only 24 blocks could start production as of date. Coal ministry is always put to blame for its method of allocation of captive coal blocks as developers are not putting serious effort to start mining and all clearance hurdles, R&R issues; infrastructure problems add salt to injuries.
The much awaited coal reforms to open up the sector has been debated for quite a long time and it is yet to see the light of the day. Forming of Coal regulator, competitive bidding of coal blocks is in the pipeline of coal ministry’s agenda.
Though Coal Controller Organization has the responsibility to monitor the development of coal blocks, it is marred with its inherent problems that sometimes show its inability to monitor such huge number of coal blocks along with its end use plants monitoring. CEA along with NTPC also monitors the development of coal blocks specifically allotted to power projects. Besides all the monitoring, show cause notice and de-allotment nothing seems to be going in the right direction for captive coal block development in India.
This report brings forth a report on Captive coal mining in India which not only provides comprehensive details of captive coal blocks allotted to different companies but also covers the end use progress of linked power projects. It also highlights the procedural delays faced by coal block developers, financing issues, issues related to joint block development etc.
- This first ever report on Coal Sector is an effort to showcase the crucial details of captive coal blocks along with its end use project status. The report is scheduled to be released on 2nd week of October 2009.
- The 300 page Report comprehensively covers details on 100 captive coal blocks covering all coal producing states in India.
