39 mining initiatives of Coal India face delays

State-owned CIL’s 39 coal mining initiatives 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) mentioned in its report.
The main causes for delays in implementation of those initiatives are delay in forest clearances and possession of land and points associated to R&R.
CIL’s 9 coal initiatives, 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 initiatives 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 throughout the 12 months 2020-21, the report mentioned.

CIL arm South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) is the mining mission that began manufacturing throughout FY21, it mentioned.
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 fulfill the coal demand of the nation.
