meet the coal requirement of the associated end use plant(s) in pursuance to the Coal Mines
(Nationalisation) Act, 1973. As per the guidelines/conditions of allocation, modalities of
disposal of surplus coal/middlings/rejects would be as per the prevailing policy/instruction
of the Government at the relevant point in time and could also include handing over such surplus
coal/middlings/rejects to the local Coal India Limited subsidiary or to any person designated by
