THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINES & MINERALS

(SMT. RITA VERMA)

(a) The names of coal producing States in the country alongwith their share in the total production of coal during the last three years, State-wise is shown in Annexure - I.

(b) Quarterly allotment of coal for power generation projects are accorded by Standing Linkage Committee (Short-term) on quarterly basis for individual power stations. The norms for deciding linkages for thermal power stations are as follows:

1. Generation target of power stations

2. Coal required to meet the generation target.

3. Coal stock available with different thermal power stations,

4. Availability of coal with different coal producing companies.

5. Available infrastructure for transportation of coal to power station.

The Standing Linkage Committee is an Inter-ministerial body of representatives from Ministries of power, railways, Deptt. of Coal, Central Electricity Authority and coal producing companies amongst others. All concerned bodies jointly decide the monthly linkage for individual powerhouses for a quarter.

There is no system of providing quarterly linkages for domestic and non-core industrial consumers in Coal India Limited. Allotment of coal to non-core industrial consumers are made on the basis of linkages established by a competent linkages committee and on the basis of sponsorship issued by the concerned sponsoring authorities.

(c) The details regarding linkages sanctioned to thermal power stations and despatches from Coal India Limited and Singareni Collieries Ltd. during the years 1997-98 to 1999-2000 are given in the Annexure-II. Coal despatches to non-core sector consumers including domestic consumers from Coal India Ltd., are given in Annexure-III

(d)to(f) No sir. Sufficient coal was supplied to the power stations of Bihar and Rajasthan. Besides coal supplies to power houses are reviewed regularly by an Inter-ministerial committee, and appropriate action is taken to step up supplies, wherever necessary.
