MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COAL (SHRI PRATIK PRAKASHBAPU PATIL)
(a) & (b): The coal block-wise details of coal production in coal blocks allocated under the policy of allocation of
the captive coal block and the details of year-wise production from the said coal blocks are given at Annexure.
(c) & (d): The responsibility of developing the coal block as per the prescribed guidelines and milestone chart
attached with the allocation letter rests entirely with the allocattee company. In the terms and conditions of the allocation letters, it is categorically mentioned that no coal shall be sold, delivered, transferred or disposed of except for the stated captive mining purposes, and except with the previous approval of the Central Government. The above condition is also part of the Mining Lease executed with the State Government concerned where the block is located. Any contravention of the above would entail cancellation of Mining Lease and/or de-allocation.
