Chairperson expressed concern on overall progress of captive coal block/lignite blocks

specially for the blocks allotted prior to 2003 and 2004 and intimated the committee that Govt
is under tremendous pressure due to shortage of coal in the country and no further time can be
lost in the development of blocks to meet the demand and supply gap of domestic coal. She
also urged the State Governments to enhance their co-operation with the block allocatees in
order to clear the pending major milestones in time bound manner. She requested the State
Government to resolve law and order problems promptly and to extend necessary assistance for
deployment of security camps as per local requirement. Additional Chief Secretary,

Government of Jharkhand assured all necessary assistance for speedy disposal of pending
issues at the state level. The target of coal production of 36.15 Mill tonnes for 2011-12 (the
terminal year of XIth five year plan) and 39.2 Mill tonnes for 2012-13 (the initial year of XIIth
five year plan) needs to be achieved.
Joint Secretary (Coal) advised all the allocatees to push their projects for early
clearance of pending milestones. He also requested Ministry of Power to closely monitor the
upcoming power projects as well as coal projects allotted for power generation. He also
advised the owner of those coal blocks which were rejected earlier for forest clearance by
Ministry of Environment and Forest because of No Go Categorisation to pursue their forest
clearance proposal with the State Forest Departments for further consideration. Coal Controller
was directed to give information on opening of Escrow Accounts and approval of Mine
Closure Plan of captive coal blocks from the next review meeting.
General Recommendations of the Committee:During the review of the progress of coal & lignite block the major issues causing delay and
action points for reducing the delay in various clearances were identified. The decisions/issues
and recommendations are categorized as below:(a) Issues relating to Environment & Forestry Clearances:

The decision taken by GoM in its meeting held on July, 2011 has not percolated to
field level.

MOEF may be requested to issue guidelines as per the decision of the GoMs meeting
held on July,2011 to the regional/field offices of MOEF on Go/No Go issues.

In view of the decision of the GoM, cases which had stopped being processed due to
Go-No Go concept may be taken up by the block allottees again with the State Forest
Departments afresh and their pending applications may be processed by concerned
Forest Departments/MoEF without delay.

The block allocatees in the state of Jharkhand are facing a serious problem in forest
clearance issues at the State level as individual applicants are being asked to report on
the environmental impact on the entire forest belt in North Karanpura/Hazaribagh as a
whole. State Govt. representative was requested to take decision on forest clearance
proposals independently on a case to case basis. Impact on the forest belt as a whole
could be better assessed by State Forest Deptt.

Block allocatees should redefine boundaries in consultation with State Forest

department in the case of coal blocks falling in buffer zone or under National Tiger
Reserve Forest area and subsequently move forward for forest clearance to MOEF. In
case this is not possible Blocks may be de-allocated.

(b) Issues pertaining to State Governments:

State Government should adhere to the time schedule of 24 months or the time
schedule prescribed in allocation condition from the date of allocation for granting of
mining lease of captive coal blocks.

The block allocatees in the state of Orissa are facing a serious problem regarding land
acquisition and grant of mining lease due to the issue raised by Orissa Govt. for
supplying of 33% reject based free power to the State Govt. There is no clear cut
policy in this regard. Committee asked representative of Govt. of Orissa to issue
guidelines in the matter not to hold up clearances on this account till a policy is
formalized in consultation with Ministry of Power.

The block allocatees in the state of Jharkhand are facing a serious problem on law and
order issues. The representative of State was requested to look into the matter and to
ensure full security by deploying CRPF camp as and when requested.

Rehabilitation and Resettlement issue and issue of notification under section 4 of LA

Act, at the State Govt. level in case of land acquisition should be settled on priority
basis.

(c) Miscellaneous Policy Issues

As the block allocatees are facing serious problem regarding transfer of land from
subsidiary companies of CIL under CBA Act, Committee advised that subsidiary coal
companies of CIL should urgently transfer the land rights under CBA Act to State
Govt/ coal block allocatees. Necessary guidelines be issued, if necessary.

Decision on reduction of GR cost whenever required should be taken by CMPDIL in

consultation with Ministry of Coal on priority basis.

Transfer of surface right and mineral right of land acquired by subsidiary coal
companies of CIL to the block allocatees is sometimes a major cause of delay.
Committee urged Ministry of Coal to issue concrete guidelines in this regard.

Attention is needed for early settlement of bipartite agreement between subsidiary

coal companies and block allocates without delay.

Pending issues of Mine Plan approval and previous approval under section 5(1) of
MMDR Act in case of grant of mining lease on priority basis need to be cleared
expeditiously.

In a case from West Bengal, there is a problem due to overlapping of area for CBM
with coal block. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has accorded permission to
extract CBM from the allocated coal block and due to absence of any guidelines, the
coal block allocatees are unable to go ahead with the extraction of coal. Ministry of
Petroleum and Natural Gas may be requested to issue policy guidelines in order to
resolve the overlap issues.

Committee observed that some block owners are willfully delaying the achieving of
pending milestones of coal block and EUPs. Committee viewed it seriously and
recommended that deduction should be made from the Bank Guarantee corresponding
to slippage as per provisions contained in the allocation condition. In this regard
Ministry of Coal may consider framing policy guidelines regarding quantum of
deduction over period of delay.

Committee observed that every allocatee is required to open an Escrow Account with
Coal Controller for mine closure prior to opening of mines as per procedure laid down
in the guidelines of approved Mine Closure Plan. Compliance may be specifically
reported in the next review meeting.

(d) Other Issues

One coal block in the state of West Bengal is facing a serious problem due to
construction of Aerotropolis /airport project within the coal block areas. Construction
of Aerotropolis is going on the coal block area though the matter is subjudice before
the Honble Court. Committee recommended that the State Govt. may be advised to
immediately stop construction of Aerotropolis and to intimate the court accordingly.

In order to sort out the problem faced by block allocatees, close monitoring with the
concerned State Govt. and MoEF at the level of Ministry of Coal /Coal Controller may
be initiated. Regular meetings with Coal Controller/Ministry of Coal and representative
of State and Central Govt may be organized every 3 months. Forming a monitoring
sub-committee in this regard at the Ministry level may be considered.

Joint venture companies formed by the joint allocates are required to submit a
compliance status of Coal Block and associated EUPs of individual allocates to CCO
by 5th of the next month after every quarter. Block allocates were advised to submit the
progress reports and renewed BG to CCO without any lapse.

All the allocatees were advised that BG should be submitted by the JVC in case of
jointly allocated coal blocks. Individual submission of BGs will not be accepted.

The specific recommendations of the Review Committee regarding each coal block are as

The progress of the following blocks was not found to be satisfactory but it is
seen that these blocks were delayed due to Go/No Go categorization, location in
wildlife corridors, allocation to PFC for UMPPs and overlapping of coal bearing
area with CBM/Aerotropolis project. Committee expressed concern over unsatisfactory
progress and advised the allocattees whose blocks were held up due to location in
No-Go area to pursue their forest diversion proposals since Go/No-Go concept has
been done away with. The Committee advised the other allocattees to pursue their
cases with the concerned authorities and get the requisite forest clearances
expedited.
