Investments by CIL to Increase Coal Production



Investments by CIL to Increase Coal Production 
CIL has assessed a tentative capital  investment of Rs. 57,000 crores for the next five years to ramp-up its coal production to one billion tonnes by 2019-20 from the production level of 494.80 Mt. in 2014-15.  This was stated by Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal & New and Renewable Energy (IC) in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.


The year-wise tentative capital investment projection is as follows:

CIL
2015-16
2016-17
2017-18
2018-19
2019-20

Capital investment (Rs.Crores)
5990.5
8282
14539
14635
13529
56975.50 say 57000

In the 12th Plan, target for production of coal set for CIL was as follows: 

Year
Production Target in Mt
2012-13
464.10
2013-14
482.00
2014-15
507.00
2015-16
550.00


However, for the year 2013-14, against a target of 482 Mte, only 462 Mte was produced by CIL resulting in a shortfall of 20 Mte. With aggressive focus on increasing coal production since June 2014, against the original targetted increase of 25 Mte from 482 Mte to 507 Mte. in 2014-15, production of CIL actually increased by 32 Mte i.e. 128% more than target thereby covering the gap of 7 Mte in production of the previous year 2013-14.

The Minister further stated that the increase of 32 Mte in actual production achieved by CIL in 2014-15 is more than the cumulative increase in production for the previous 4 years   of 31 Mte.
