MINISTER OF STATE FOR COAL (SHRI N. T. SHANMUGAM)
(a) Yes, Sir. Coal Sector Rehabilitation Project was
formulated for bringing improvement in the coal industry.
(b) The Coal Sector Rehabilitation Project (CSRP) was
conceived to cater for investment towards increasing
coal production for 9 new / expansion projects and
maintenance of capacities in 15 replacement projects
under 5 subsidiaries of Coal India Ltd. viz. Central
Coalfields Ltd. (CCL), Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd.
(MCL),Western Coalfields Ltd. (WCL), South Eastern
Coalfields Ltd. (SECL) and Northern Coalfields Ltd.
(NCL). The basic objective of CSRP was to make Coal India
Ltd. commercially viable, self-sustaining and to bring
improvement in the coal industry.
The total investment in the project was estimated at
US$ 1.695 billion, out of which US$ 1.03 billion was to
be financed by the World Bank (IBRD) and the Japan Bank
for International Co-operation (JBIC) on 50:50 co-
financing ratio. The balance amount was to be financed by
the participating subsidiaries of Coal India Ltd. The
project consists of investment component, technical
assistance and training component. The investment
component is to finance procurement of Heavy Earth Moving
Machinery (HEMM) in 24 profitable mining sub-projects and
also construction of Coal Handling Plants (CHPs) in four
of them. The technical assistance component was
envisaged to finance Coal India’s Institutional Capacity
Development in the project implementation, mining
operations and management.
CSRP was approved by the World Bank in September,
1997 and the loan became effective in June, 1998. The
disbursement for the project started in July, 1998.
(c)&(d) Heavy Earth Moving Machinery worth US$ 477.89
million (equivalent to Rs.1964.42 crores) has already
been ordered for 5 subsidiary companies of Coal India
Ltd. Details of orders are at Annexure.
(e)&(f) After examining in its entirety, CIL felt that
balance of convenience lies in agreed cancellation of the
balance uncommitted facility of World Bank / JBIC loan
and further steps have been initiated in this direction.
The works under the Project are now being completed from
financing from CIL’s own resources and on the basis of
its balance sheet.
