Minutes of the Meeting held on 11.01.2012. & 12.01.2012 at Scope Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi Chaired by Additional Secretary (Coal) to review the progress of captive blocks and the associated End Use Projects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A meeting chaired by Additional Secretary (Coal) was held on 11th and 12th January, 2012 in Scope Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi to review the progress of development of coal blocks allocated up to 31st Dec.2011 along with their associated end use projects. List of participants is enclosed as Annexure.

At the outset, Chairperson welcomed all the officers representing different Ministries/ Departments of Central/ State Governments attending the meeting as well as different block allocatees. Information was sought from each of the company representatives (block allocates) on milestones achieved by them since the last review meeting held on 20th and 21st July,2010. Committee also confirmed the minutes of last review meeting.

The status of allocated Coal Blocks was then reviewed. Out of a total of 218 Coal

blocks that have been allocated so far, 23 blocks have been deallocatted by Ministry of Coal till Dec., 2011. The status of remaining coal blocks was reported as follows:

(i) Net allocated coal blocks are 195 (ii) 39 blocks are allocated to Govt PSUs for commercial use. Out of these, some

blocks have been transferred to linked Power project for commercial use within the State.

(iii) Mining Plan approved for 126 coal blocks (iv) 29 coal blocks have started coal production (v) 3 coal blocks started coal production after the last review meeting. (vi) 9 coal blocks have reached peak rated capacity of the mine.

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 GoM’s 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.

5

• 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 Hon’ble Court. Committee recommended that the State Govt. may be advised to immediately stop construction of Aerotropolis and to intimate the court accordingly.

6

• 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 follows:-

(I) The following 9 coal blocks have started coal production and have attained the peak rated capacity.

*The allocattee has been issued a show cause for deviation of conditions of allocation. The matter is subjudice.

(II) The following 20 coal blocks have started coal production and have not attained the peak rated capacity. The allocatees are advised to attain the peak rated capacity as per the approved mining plan.

(IV) 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.
