39 mining tasks of Coal India face delays

State-owned CIL’s 39 coal mining tasks are operating behind the schedule on account of delays in getting inexperienced clearances and points associated to rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R).
This assumes significance within the wake of the nation’s energy crops grappling with depleting shares at their finish.
“114 coal projects with a sanctioned capacity of 836.48 mty (million tonnes per year) and a sanctioned capital of Rs 1,19,580.62 crore are in different stages of implementation out of which 75 projects are on schedule and 39 projects are delayed,” Coal India Ltd (CIL) stated in its report.
The main causes for delays in implementation of those tasks are delay in forest clearances and possession of land and points associated to R&R.
CIL’s 9 coal tasks, with a sanctioned capability of 27.60 million tonnes per 12 months and a sanctioned capital of Rs 1,976.59 crores had been accomplished with a complete completion capital of Rs 1,958.89 crore throughout 2020-21.
Four of those tasks belong to Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL), three of Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL) and two of Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL).
WCL,CCL and MCL are subsidiaries of Coal India.
One mission with a sanctioned capability of 1.4 million tonnes per 12 months and a sanctioned capital of Rs 143.63 crore had began coal manufacturing through the 12 months 2020-21, the report stated.

CIL arm South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) is the mining mission that began manufacturing throughout FY21, it stated.
Coal India accounts for over 80 per cent of home coal output.
CIL has envisaged one billion tonne coal manufacturing within the 12 months 2023-24 to satisfy the coal demand of the nation.
