MINISTER OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS, COAL AND MINES

(a to c): Yes, Sir. Coal India Limited (CIL) has been chasing the targets in the last two years and the current year as stipulated in Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Various physical and financial targets are fixed, in consultation with the Department of Public Enterprises, on yearly basis by signing MoU with CIL.
Targets of MoU with CIL are fixed on the basis of performance of CIL & its subsidiaries. The shortfall in some of the parameters of the targets of CIL & its subsidiaries are primarily attributable to the following:
• Land acquisition problems.
• Delays in physical possession of land.
• Resettlement & Rehabilitation issues.
• Encroachment issues.
• Delays in Forestry and Environmental Clearances.
• Evacuation & logistics constraints.
• Law & Order problems.
