3. COAL MARKETING

• The raw coal offtake during 2022-23 stood at its highest ever level of 694.69 Million Tonnes (MT) in comparison to 661.89 MT during 2021-22. The offtake in 2022-23 recorded a growth of 5% over 2021-22 breaking all previous records of offtake and wagon loading performance.

Company-wise target vis-?-vis actual off-take for 2022-23 and 2021-22 are shown in Annexure-5.

• Some constraints hampered dispatch in 2022-23 which can be listed as under:

• Constraints in availability of rakes especially in Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) and South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL).

• Production constraints at Rajmahal mine of Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) due to land acquisition issue resulting in less coal dispatch.

• Sporadic law and order issues at some of the coalfields.

• Extended and unseasonal rainfall hampered the transportation and dispatch especially at Western Coalfields Limited (WCL).

• 586.57 MT of coal was despatched to the major consumer, power sector. Sector-wise break-up of despatch of coal & coal products for 2022-23 against the target and last year's actual is given in Annexure-6.

• CCEA (Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs) approved new mechanism of single window mode agnostic e-auction by clubbing the existing auction windows and introducing unified auction mechanism irrespective of mode of transport. The decision of CCEA was communicated by MOC vide circular no. CPD-23011/18/2021-CPD dated 21.03.2022. Pursuant to the notification only Spot auction was conducted during FY'23.

• Subsequent to notification for Single window auction policy, CIL developed the modalities and a new e-auction scheme namely ‘CIL e-auction Scheme 2022' to implement the Single window mode agnostic e-auction. CIL introduced the new e-auction policy as per CIL e-auction Scheme 2022 from 1^st March'23 onwards across all Coal Companies replacing the Spot auction.

• During 2022-23, a total quantity of 53.38 MT was successfully allocated under e-auction compared to 108 MT during FY'22. The premium over notified prices stood at 252% during FY'23 compared to 88% premium fetched in FY'22. In absolute terms the gain over the notified price was H 22,832 crore in FY'23 compared against Rs. 12,188 crore in FY'22.

• Additional long term demand is created through linkages allotted through the following schemes:

A. Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyala (Coal) transparently in India (SHAKTI), for Power Sector notified by the government on 22.5.2017 and subsequently amended vide MOC letter dated 25.03.2019.

B. Auction of coal linkages to Non-Regulated Sector (NRS) notified by the government on 15.2.2016.

SHAKTI Policy contains provisions for coal supply for various categories of power plants fulfilling different criteria.

Until 2022-23, Ministry of Coal (MoC) has recommended for signing of FSA with 9 Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) under the provisions of Para A(i) of SHAKTI for an Annual Contracted Quantity of 32.255 MT and FSAs have been signed with 8 TPPs for the ACQ of 31.155 MT. Also, on the recommendation of SLC (LT), FSAs have been signed under the provisions of Para B(i) of SHAKTI with 13 Central/State Gencos for an ACQ of 47.439 MT as on 31.3.2023.

During FY 22-23, Fifth round of SHAKTI B(ii) long term linkage auction was conducted wherein a quantity of 0.049 MT was successfully allocated at average discount of 12 paise/PPA unit(kWh). Till date, in the five rounds of auction, linkages of 36.25 MTPA has been successfully allocated to the power plants. The levellised discounts in tariff offered by the power plants in five rounds of the auctions are in the range of 1p/ kWh to 12 p/kWh.

During this fiscal, CIL conducted three rounds of B(iii) long/medium term linkage auction with a total offer of 22.20 MT and successfully allocated 15.82 MT of coal linkage at an average premium of 1.2% over notified price. In the four rounds of the auction, conducted till date, linkages of 22.31 MTPA has been booked by the power plants.

Further, under para B (viii-a) covering para B (iii) of SHAKTI policy five tranches of short term linkage auctions were conducted during FY'23 wherein a total of 25.28 MT quantity was booked by the power plants with average premium of 152.65% over the notified price

The coal against the linkages secured in the NRS linkage auctions are supplied under the FSAs to be executed for a period of 5 years, except for Steel(coking) sector where the tenure of FSA is 10 years.

During FY'23 CIL conducted linkage auction for following subsectors under Tranche V & VI:

• During Nov'22, auction for others (coking) subsector of tranche V was conducted wherein a quantity of 1 MT was booked at an average premium of 195%.

• Tranche VI NRS linkage auction commenced during Feb'23 with Sponge Iron subsector wherein a quantity of 10.98 MT was booked at an average premium of 118%.

Moreover, in line with the enabling provision of NRS Linkage auction policy 2016 for indexing of ROM price for supply of coal to NRS sector, CIL introduced Modulation of NRS price with Wholesale Price Index(on year on year basis, w,e,f 01.04.2023) from Tranche VI NRS Linkage auction onwards.

Considering the FSAs executed earlier with the power plants under the provisions of NCDP and the FSAs executed under various provisions of SHAKTI, the operative linkage for a total quantity of about 578 MTPA exists with the Power Sector as on 31.3.2023, which is bound by long term supply commitments through FSAs excluding bridge linkage commitments. The bridge linkage commitments as on 31.03.2023 stood at 30 MTPA, where coal supply is based on best effort basis.

The total FSA commitments for Non-Power consumers including the FSAs of erstwhile regime, bridge linkage and State Nominated Agencies stood at 87 MTPA as on 31.03.2023.

For enhanced customer satisfaction, special emphasis has been given to Quality Management of coal from mine to dispatch point.

Now, all the consumers of CIL have the option for quality assessment of the supplies through independent third-party sampling agencies. In order to ensure supply of good quality/sized coal, reputed global quality assurance service providers namely SGS India Private Limited has been engaged in addition to the existing third-party agencies (Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CIMFR) & Quality Council of India (QCI)) for undertaking the job of sampling and analysis of coal samples at loading end in CIL subsidiaries. Further on behalf of MoP, PFC empaneled M/S

Mitra SK Pvt Ltd through bidding process for collection, preparation and analysis of coal samples at loading end for power sector.

Out of 58 coal testing laboratories across the subsidiary companies of CIL, 57 laboratories are now NABL accredited and accreditation process is underway in respect of another 01 laboratory.

As a result of conscious and continuous measures taken towards quality maintenance, the gap between the weighted average of declared and analyzed GCV of coal based on results received till 31.03.2023 for FY 2022-23 is 03 Kcal/kg which is well within 1% of one GCV band.

Linkage rationalization initiatives to reduce the cost of transportation of coal and cost of generation of power were continued during the year 2022-23 also. Under the ambit of the linkage rationalization policy notified by the government on 15.5.2018, sources of linkage for a quantity of 7.80 MTPA for the IPPs was rationalized in 2021-22, yielding annual potential savings in transportation cost by about Rs. 457 crore. In addition to that, CIL as per the request from the State Gencos has rationalized for a quantity of 7.644 MTPA for the State Gencos in 2021-22 with an annual potential savings in transportation cost of about Rs. 624 crore.

CIL is presently operating 13 Coal Washeries with a total operable washing capacity of 24.94 MTY. Out of these, 11 are coking coal washeries and balance 2 are non-coking, with operable capacities of 13.94 MTY and 11 MTY respectively. The total washed coal production from the existing coking coal washeries during 2022-23 was about 2.155 MT, a growth of more than 33.7% from 2021-22.

The Master Plan for dealing with fire, subsidence and rehabilitation in the leasehold of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) and Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) was approved on 12^th August 2009 by Govt. of India with an estimated investment of Rs. 7,112.11 crore for Jharia Coalfields and Rs. 2,661.73 crore for Raniganj Coalfields. Implementation period of Master Plan have been delineated as 10 years for ECL & 12 years for BCCL. Jharia Rehabilitation and Development Authority (JRDA) and Asansol Durgapur Development Authority (ADDA) are the implementing agency for rehabilitation of non-BCCL & non-ECL people under Master Plan.

There are 03 unstable locations under ECL which were already vacated & families were shifted. As per the demographic survey report provided by ADDA, around 29,000 non-ECL families are required to be rehabilitated from unstable locations. Construction of 12,976 houses out of approved 29,000 houses have been taken up by ADDA for shifting of non-ECL families. At present construction of 7184 houses have been completed and 5,792 no. of houses are in different stages of construction.

34 sites have been identified as fire-affected zone, as per survey report by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) in 2018. Later, as per NRSC interim study report (October 2020), 27 sites have been identified as fire-affected zone.

At present, 15 fire sites are economically viable as assessed by CMPDIL, wherein work have been awarded and implementation started. The balance 12 fire sites are found to be economically unviable as assessed by CMPDIL. In recent study by NRSC (August 2021), 10 fire sites have shown decreasing trend/marginal indication of fire. To deal with those, surface blanketing is being done by BCCL. For the remaining 2 fire sites, one mineable site proposal is under formulation and other mineable site requires Viability Gap Funding (VGF) from JMP.

BCCL has taken up construction of 15,852 houses for the shifting of BCCL families. Till date 7,714 houses have already been constructed and 4,215 families have been shifted. Due to superannuation of BCCL employees, shifting of only 7,852 BCCL families are required at present. As per decision of BCCL Board, 8,000 houses are to be handed over to JRDA for non BCCL families and same has been conveyed to JRDA.

Construction of 18,352 houses for non-BCCL families have been taken up by JRDA out of 54,159 houses as per approved Master Plan. Till date, construction of 6,352 houses have completed and 2,684 families shifted. Balance 12,000 houses are under different stages of construction.

e) Deployment of additional Surface Miners and Continuous Miners in opencast & U/G mine respectively for blasting free coal extra action.

Mine Discharge Treatment Plants (MDTP) are installed in mines for treatment of discharged mine water on the surface for second phase treatment. Treated mine water is then used partly for dust suppression, firefighting, plantation, washing etc. As per the need of the local community, treated mine water is supplied to the nearby villages for drinking & irrigation purposes. In order to assess the impact of mining activities on ground water, monitoring of ground water levels is being carried out in and around of the mine lease hold area. For ground water recharge within mine premises and nearby villages, initiatives like rainwater harvesting, digging of ponds / development of lagoons, de-silting of existing ponds / tanks etc. have been taken. Regular monitoring of mine, workshop and domestic effluent is carried out as per rule and desired actions are being taken. Reports of the same are regularly submitted to SPCBs and MoEF&CC. In 2022-23, 92.45 % discharged mined water utilized for internal & community use and remaining 7.55 % is retained for future use and ground water recharging.

For control of noise pollution, various measures like proper maintenance of equipment, green belt development around the mine and residential area, blasting in day time and use of ear muff / ear plugs at noisy areas are adopted.

• Reclamation of the mined out areas and external OB dumps are major environmental mitigatory activities taken up by CIL. Reclamation of mined out areas are being done as per the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Mine Closure Plan (MCP) which are approved by MoEF&CC. Top soil is preserved, stored and used in plantation areas in the opencast mines. Concurrent reclamation and rehabilitation of mined out areas are taken up for gainful land use. After technical reclamation is completed, plantation is carried out which is termed as biological reclamation.

• Eco-restoration: For effective Bio-reclamation of disturbed land, scientific studies are carried out to select suitable species of plants for afforestation on three tier plantation concept. Forest Research Institute (FRI) has been engaged by CIL for sharing their expertise in the field of eco-restoration in the reclaimed areas. Many Eco- restoration sites have been developed in subsidiary companies of CIL with technical collaboration of FRI.
