(a) The details of coking and non-coking coal reserves (resources) and production during last five years (year-wise and state-wise) are given in Table A and Table B respectively of the Annexure.

(b) Quantum of coal imports, its expenditure and annual increase in terms of percentage, during the last five years is as under:-

(Fig in Million Tonnes(MT) and value in Million Rs.(MR))
Year Import
Coal Import (MT) Value(MR) Growth % QTY Growth % Value
2016-17 190.953 1002314 -6.372 16.502

(c) Auction of commercial mining on Revenue Sharing Mechanism was launched on 18.06.2020. Under this scheme, two tranches have been successfully completed and third Tranche is currently under process. From these two tranches total of 28 coal mines have been successfully auctioned. The likely benefits accruing to the states from these 28 coal mines are provided below:


State PRC (MTPA) Royalty@ 14% of revenue (Rs. crore) DMF @30% of royalty (Rs. crore) Royalty and DMF (Rs. Cr.) Revenue Share (Rs. crore) Annual Revenue generated based on the PRC of mine(Rs. crore) Expected Total Employment (Direct + Indirect)
Chhattisgarh 8.20 176.62 52.99 229.61 470.21 699.82 11,086
Jharkhand 20.60 566.43 169.93 736.36 991.33 1727.69 27,852

*In addition to the above taxes and duties, NMET also accrue to the Centre. Additionally, GST and GST Compensation Cess is also payable to the Centre which will then be shared by Centre with the States. Further, Revenue share and employment numbers for partially explored coal mines of 2nd Round of commercial auction have not been calculated since PRC of these mine is not available.


(d) Ministry of coal has proposed "Mission Coking Coal" to augment the coking coal production to 170 MT by FY 2029-30, considering coking coal demand projected in National Steel Policy 2017 and increasing the domestic coking coal blending percentage from 10% to 35 % using Stamp Charging Technology.

Coal India Limited (CIL) has envisaged to enhance its production to reach the level of 1BT coal by the year 2023-24 from its current production level of about 600 MT which includes enhancement of production of both non-coking and coking coal.
