Mr Rao says green light on project area expansion to up CIL output by 40 MTJanuary 18, 2014
Mr S Narsing Rao CMD of CIL said that with the ministry of environment and forests allowing CIL to expand project area by as much as 50% without holding a public hearing, the miner may be able to produce an additional 40 million tonnes next year on this count alone.
Mr Raos said that the easier guidelines would help increase production next year with a higher output possible from at least 25 mines.
CIL fell short of its 464 million tonne production target in FY 13, with output coming in at 453 million tonne. The miner’s target for the current year is 482 million tonne, but output could be lower by about 5 million tonne.
He said that cyclone Phailan had affected production at the Mahanadi Coalfields and Central Coalfields.
Moreover, the Talcher mines were shut for a day due to labour unrest.
The easier MoEF rules apply to a one-time capacity expansion and should not involve any further land acquisition.
A ministry circular said that expansion proposals for existing coal mining projects having production capacity up to 8 million tonne per annum, the limit of one-time capacity expansion may be considered as 50% or incremental production up to 1 million tonne per annum, whichever is more in the existing mine lease area. This expansion is exempted from public hearing.
