For the year 2013-14, against a target of 482 MT, only 462.422 MT was produced by CIL resulting in a shortfall of 20 MT. However, with the focus on increasing coal production since June 2014, against the original targetted increase of 25 MT from 482 MT to 507 MT in 2014-15, production of CIL actually increased by 32 MT.Further, increase of 44 MT in 2015-16 is highest ever addition to coal produced. These two years (2014-16) combined incremental production of 76 MT is higher than the combined incremental production of the entire 11th plan period.
This was possible by deploying measures as explained in part (d) of the answer.
(d):To enhance production and evacuation of coal, the following measures have been taken:
• CIL has prepared a road map to reach a coal production level of 1 billion Ton by the year 2019-20 for which mines /projects to produce 908.1 MT have already been identified.
• Works on three critical railway lines in the growing coalfields of Odisha, Jharkhand&Chattisgarh.
• Deployment of high capacity/ high productivity equipment in OC & UG mines of CIL.
• Increase in the production from existing mines by improving capacity utilisation through efficiency improvement and modernization.
• Implementation of on-going projects in a time bound manner.
• Enhancement of exploration capacity by induction of modern equipment and outsourcing.
• Expediting steps for obtaining EC/FC within the scheduled time frame.
At this juncture, there is no reported shortage of coal. As far as imports are concerned, coal is under Open General License and hence can be freely imported by the parties interested. However, keeping in view of enhanced domestic coal production, steps are being undertaken to substitute imported coal with domestic coal.
