EASTERN COALFIELDS LTD

HISTORY Raniganj Coalfield, which falls under E.C.L. is the birth place of coal mining in the Country. In 1774, first mining operation in the Country was started in this Coalfield by Sumner & Heatly. In 1820, first Coal Company M/s. Alexander & Company was established. In 1835, first Indian Enterprise i.e. M/s. Carr & Tagore Company was formed. In 1843, the first joint stock Coal Company i.e. M/s. Bengal Coal Company was formed. Since then, underground coal mining operation had been continuing in Raniganj Coalfields by numerous small owners. Raniganj Coalfield remained the principal producer of coal in India in 19th Century and considerable period of the 20th Century. Birth Place of Coal Mining in the Country NATIONALISATION AND AFTER In 1973, all Non-Coking Coal Mines were nationalized and brought under Eastern Division of Coal Mines Authority Limited. In 1975 Eastern Coalfields Limited, a Subsidiary of Coal India Limited (C.I.L) was formed and inherited all the private sector coal mines of Raniganj Coalfields ECL Headquarter at SANCTORIA GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION & AREA ECLs total command area is 1620 Sq.Kms. It is situated in two States West Bengal and Jharkhand. Area of Raniganj Coalfield is 1530 Sq. Kms spreading over Burdwan, Birbhum, Bankura and Purulia Districts in West Bengal and Dhanbad District in Jharkhand. Saherjuri Coalfield in Deoghar District of Jharkhand is having an area of 10 Sq.Kms is being worked as SP Mines Area under ECL. Hura Coalfields in Godda District of Jharkhand is also under ECL having an area of 80 Sq.Kms. ECLs largest opencast mine Rajmahal is being operated here. Heart of Raniganj Coalfield is however, in Burdwan District bounded by Ajoy River in North and Damodar River in South. Kasta Coalfields is located on the North of Ajoy while Mejia and Parbelia are on South of Damodar River. In Dhanbad Distgrict, Mugma field lies on the west of Barakar River.Formation of coal seems has occurred mainly in two sequence at ECL Raniganj measures & Barakar measures. Raniganj measures covers the entire coalfield of Raniganj Pandaveswar, Kajora, Jhanjra Bankola, Kenda, Sonepur, Kunustoria, Satgram, Sripur, Sodepur & Partly at Salanpur Areas. Barakar measures covers two areas Salanpur & Mugma Areas, SP Mines & Rajmahal Areas are mainly related to Barakar measure & Talchair series).

MINES & MANPOWER

At present ECL has 105 no. of operating mines out of which 88 are underground mines, 17 are opencast mines. The existing manpower in Eastern Coalfields Limited as on 1.4.2010 is 85617, out of which female employees are 7750 (9.05%).

Underground Coal Mine COAL RESERVE As on 1.4.2008, the total coal reserve in ECL command area upto 600 metre depth is 40.648 Billion tone out of which 23.572 billion tone is in the State of West Bengal and 17.126 Billion tone is in the State of Jharkhand. Total proved reserve in the state of West Bengal is 11.423 billion tonne and 4.103 billion tone is in the State of Jharkhand. BEST QUALITY NON-COKING COAL The Raniganj measures coal has special characteristics containing the best type of non-coking coal reserves in the country with average ash percentage of less than 20%. The main features of this coal are high volatile content, long flame, quick ignition and high heat value. All the heat intensive industries like glass, ceramics, fertilizers, refractories, forging etc use Raniganj coal. Other Industries also prefer Raniganj coal. The major portion of export coal from the country is contributed from Raniganj coalfield. Raniganj coal which is the most important by way of its higher quality, low ash content and its requirement under MOEF stipulations, is most suited to Power Utilities for replacing the import quantity. Due to its unique characteristics Raniganj coal has high demand in the market throughout the Country. Barakar measures coals are low moisture, high fixed carbon, low sulphur & are suitable for modern power houses & other small scale industries. ECL has earned highest gain over notified price (Rs. 188 crore) from e-auction during the year 2008-09, but the gain over notified price in 2009-10 was only 91.60. New chapter opened through MoU with DVC, WBPDCL,NTPC & other power utilities where coal will be supplied at mutually agreed price considering the cost of production & imported price of coal to recover the loss of u/g mines at Raniganj field producing higher grades for making them sustainable. E.C.L. produces best quality non-coking coal

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS The total coal production of ECL at the time of nationalization was around 21 million tonnes, of which over 19 million tonnes was from underground mines and the rest from manual quarries. Immediately after nationalization, efforts were made to improve production level with addition of inputs by way of both shortterm and long term investment resulting into increase in production. However, owing to suspension of operation of number of mines/ units on the ground of exhaustion of coal reserves in working seams, on safety ground as well as being uneconomic and problem of land acquisition for depillaring with caving as well as gradual reduction of loader strength production from underground mines could not be sustained and got reduced considerably and ultimately attained at a level of 8.395 million tonnes in 08-09. However, the declining trend of underground production has been arrested from 07-08 with a marginal growth in 08-09. In order to sustain and augment the underground production a road map has been formulated envisaging mechanization of manual mines by way of introduction of SDL/LHD in loading operation covering more mines wherever practically feasible. As on 31.3.2010 company is deploying 152 nos. of SDL and 24 nos. of LHD. In 2009-10, 40 nos. standard height SDLs had been received and commissioned. During 2010-11 procurement action has been taken for 21 nos. of standard height SDLs, 5 nos. low height SDLs and 26 nos. of LHDs. Apart from this, for augmentation of underground production three mines have been identified for introduction of Mass production technology by way of deployment Continuous Miner with shuttle Car on risk/gain sharing basis. At the first instance Continuous Miners Package was introduced at Jhanjra Project in collaboration with M/s. Joy Mining Machinery Limited on risk/gain sharing basis in Sept. 2007 and is running successfully at present. For deployment of another Continuous Miner at Sarpi UG mine of Bankola Area agreement with M/s. Joy Mining Machinery Limited has been done on 6.4.2009. Part of the consignment i.e. Shuttle Car Load Centre and Quad Bolter have arrived at site in the last week of April 2010 and have been assembled at Jhanjra workshop. The main equipment i.e. the Continuous Miner and Feeder Breaker have also reached Kolkata port on 26.5.2010. Arrangements are being done for their inland transport to the site.

For introduction of 2nd set of Continuous miner at Jhanjra, project report has been approved by ECL Board and approved by CIL Board in Feb 2009. Global tender has been floated. Techno-commercial Part has been opened and a technical committee was formed by competent authority for evaluation of technical eligibility. Technical committee has submitted its report on 19.4.2010. Commercial evaluation by Tender Committee is under progress. In addition to this, High Power PSLW set is also proposed to be introduced at R-VI seam of Jhanjra for mechanized production from Longwall operation. Global Tender has been floated. A technical committee was formed by competent authority to evaluate technical eligibility. Technical committee meeting has been held on 20.5.2010 and report is still awaited.

Power Plant-Core Sector Principal Consumer Rajmahal Opencast Project ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE In order to meet the growing demand of coal of the consumers, Eastern Coalfields Limited intends to increase coal production from both Opencast and Underground Mines from the existing coal production of 30.067 Million tonne in 2009-10 to an optimum level of 34.00 million tone in 2011-12. Target of coal production in 2010-11 is 33.00 million tonne and OB removal target is 55.00 million cu.m. Company achieved a profit of Rs. 333.40 crore during 2009-10. In addition to mechanization of manual mines by way of introduction of SDL/LHD, Continuous Miner is going to be introduced at Sarpi underground project very soon. Introduction of 2nd Continuous Miner and PSLW (2nd phase) at Jhanjra project are also under process. Ten number of new reorganized Underground Projects have been taken up for implementation during X Plan period and seven number of underground projects have proposed to be taken up in XI Plan period to replace and augment the existing underground production. Out of 10 UG Projects identified in the X Plan period, production from 3 projects are contributing and rest of the Projects are in different stages of implementation. A Dragline machine in Opencast project Increase in Open Cast Production: (1) Global Tender floated twice for Rajmahal Expansion from 10.5 million tonnes to 17 million tonnes, could not be finalised. Hence, tender was cancelled. Revised project report has been approved by Ministry of Coal in Sept. 2009 with a capital investment of Rs. 153.82 crore under partial outsourcing option. Project Report has been approved by MOC in Sept. 2009. Pre-NIT meeting based

on draft tender document was held in Dec. 2009. Final NIT has been prepared and awaiting approval of ECL Board. Simlong Open Cast Mine, where operation had been suspended during 2002, has been restarted for extraction of remaining 0.9 million tonne of coal and to facilitate starting of neighbouring Chuperbhita Open Cast Project

(2) Coal India Ltd. will consider the Project Report of Chuperbhita for 4 MTY and Hurra C for 3 MTY after obtaining forest clearance. Company is pursuing the matter for obtaining forest clearance expeditiously. Efforts are being made to operate Chuperbhita OC and Hura-C OC Projects in the non-forest area. Tendering for opening up a patch in non-forest area in respect of Hura-C OC is in progress.

(3) ECL Board has approved Project Report of Sonepur Bazari combined OC of 8 MTY with an investment of Rs. 495.09 crore in January2008. The revised project report for Sonepur Bazari combined OC is under preparation at CMPDIL, RI-I, Asansol. However, to augment the production of Sonepur Bazari, an outsourced OC patch with a surface miner has started with production of 1 MTY.

(4) For Expansion of Chitra Project to 2.5 million tonnes, Coal India Board has accorded its approval to the Project Report with capital investment of Rs. 112.69 crore during August2007. Estimate for outsourcing of OB removal is under scrutiny.

(5) ECL in totality surveyed off 173 equipment against which 122 have been procured, ordered for 15 nos. and tendered for 34 nos.

Outsourcing of patches: During 2009-10, company produced 4.336 million tone of coal from outsourcing OC patches. As on date, company is operating 8 outsourcing patches. More number of patches have been identified & proposed to be worked in future like Narainkuri, Bonbahal, Deep mining zone of Rajmahal, Samla, Madhaipur etc.

MAHANADI COALFIELDS LTD

Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL), a subsidiary of COAL INDIA LTD (CIL), is a Mini Ratna Public Ltd. Co. doing business in COAL mining in the State of ORISSA. Its activities are located in two coalfields, namely, IB Valley Coalfields & Talcher Coalfields. The company is committed to produce 137 Mte non-coking coal in the XI Plan and 180 Mte in the XIITH PLAN period. MCL is also committed to supply washed coal to its valued consumers. The company intends to establish suitable infrastructures in terms of coal washeries for washing of non-coking coal (Ash % range 38 ~ 48). Initially it is proposed to construct three washeries in two Coalfields washing capacity being 10 Mty each. The washery will be built on (BOM) concept that means the washery will be constructed on the finance made available by CIL or its subsidiary as in the case of turn key execution and the plant has to be operated & maintained by the BOM operator for 10 years with a provision of reviewing by the owner at the end of 10 (Ten) years for each term of 05 (Five) years thereafter on the basis of same terms and conditions for which the BOM operator will get suitable remunerative washery charges. MCL invites EOI from reputed leaders in this field to participate for establishment of COAL washeries in IB & Talcher Coalfields in MCL command area in terms of an offer which essentially shall include general terms, scope and limitations.

Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL) was formed on 3rd April 1992. It has two coalfields, Talcher & IB Valley in Orissa. Talcher Coalfield area is approximately 25 KMs from District Headquarter, Angul.

Talcher Coalfield (Geological Reserve 35.78 B.T. As on 1.1.2002) Talcher Coalfield was first discovered at Gopalprasad in the 1837. Lateron GSI surveyed and mapped in 1855. M/S East India Prospecting Syndicate in Talcher Town in 1920 Handidhua Colliary was opened by M/s Villiers Ltd in 1921. NCDC opened mines at South Belanda, Nandira & Jagannath in the year 1960,1962 and 1972 respectively. After formation of CIL all mines were in CCL then in SECL before formation of MCL in 1992. Production of coal raised from 0.91 M.T. in 1972-73 to 33.10 M.T. in 2001-02.

Talcher Coalfield Map The coalfields at Talcher consist of 5 Coalfields : 1. Talcher Area 2. Jagannath Area 3. Kalinga Area 4. Lingraj Area 5. Hingula Area

NORTH EASTERN COALFIELDS

North Eastern Coalfields is a unit of Coal India (CIL) operating in states of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. North Eastern Region consists of seven states; only Assam, Meghalaya, Arnachal Pradesh and Nagaland are endowed with moderate coal reserves. Though the coal occurrences are reported from four states of North Eastern Region, the actual coal exploitation activity is confined to states of Assam (Margherita Area) and Meghalaya (Simsong U/G) only. NEC coal is of Tertiary age (Eocene to Oligocene= 40-55 million years) younger compare to deposits found in the Bihar, Jharkhand belt, attain low maturity of sub-bituminous coal rank with high calorific heat value ranging between 6500-7500 k.cal/kg.(Grade = A) Although North Eastern Coalfields contains meagre quantity of mineable coal reserves, is one of the countrys best coalfields having good quality coal characterized by very low ash content, high sulphur, high volatile matter and high caking index. Hence has got high demand for coal liquefaction plant and as blendable coal in steel industry. In the year 1870 coal mining development activity was initiated by Dr.John Berry White, Civil Surgeon and Mr.George Turner, Mining Engineer in Assam.The first colliery Ledo Underground mine was opened in the year 1882 by M/s.Assam Railways & Trading Company Ltd. in the North Eastern Region . Subsequently, more collieries were opened to meet the demand of coal from this region. In the beginning of 19th Century the coal production was 30% of the total countrys output, which now stands nearly at 0.37% only (1.05MT) against total 360.94 MT of Coal India. Out of total 257 BT Indian coal reserves , only 0.94 BT occur in the North Eastern Region which constitutes 0.37% share of Indian coal reserves (up to 1200 m. depth and as on 01.01.2007). After nationalization, the mining operations were confined to Makum and Dilli-Jeypore Coalfields of Margherita Area in Assam. At present there are five working mines 3(Three) underground and 2(Two) opencast mines. In 1995, Namchik mine was surrendered to State Govt. Arunachal Pradesh for want of Forest Clearance.The activity of exploratory mining at Simsong in Meghalaya was suspended. Since 1999, due to problems in mining activity and insurgency.

NEYVELI LIGNITE CORPORATION LIMITED

LIGNITE DEPOSIT IN NEYVELI: Lignite is the younger offspring of the coal family. It is a fossil fuel belonging to the Miocene age (25 million years). Popularly known as Brown Coal, lignite is tan brown in colour, light to handle and brittle in nature. This fuel is born from vegetable matter having undergone bio-chemical decay to the stage of peat (rotten wood) and then metamorphosed to lignite under the pressure of the soil above through floods, movements of the earths crust and dehydration when the pressure of the lignite, particularly the horizontal thrust is further increased, lignite is made more dense, less volumetric and becomes coal as such. The lignite mined at Neyveli varies in colour from brown to dark brown and has a non-bonded granular structure. Microscopic studies of this sections prepared from bulk samples of lignite indicate that the fuel is composed of a wide variety of plant ingradients, mainly of coniferous nature. Quality of Lignite: Lignite contains 65-70% of carbon, 20-25% of oxygen, about 5% of hydrogen and small amounts of nitrogen and sulphur. The average calorific value of lignite is

2400 K.cal/Kg. It cannot be compared favourably with the high calorific value of pure coal. Yet lignite has an advantage of being free burning (non coking), of having low ash and of giving rapid and complete combustion. Since the volatile matter is usually high, lignite burns readily. Air dried lignite is quite suitable for direct burning. For high capacity boilers lignite can be burnt in the pulverized form
