15 Jun 2021 CW Team

As many as 114 projects of Coal India (CIL), costing over Rs 20 crore, are under various stages of implementation.

The Ministry of Coal said in its annual report 2020-21 that the completion and implementation of these projects depend upon significant extraneous factors like green clearances, possession of land, and evacuation infrastructure.

In 2020, a total of 34 projects were approved and nine projects finished by CIL. CIL took several measures to guarantee the timely completion of projects.

There was a determined persuasion of CIL with the state government for expediting land authentication in Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh.

The report said that landowners are continually persuaded to take the payment and give the land acquired by the company.

There is also regular coordination and cooperation with state governments for expediting the procedure of grant of forest clearance.

Coal companies are constantly persuading the state government at each level to start the necessary work for curbing the frequent law and order issues.

The implementation of the projects is examined constantly at the level of CIL and its subsidiaries.

The coal ministry also reviews projects costing over Rs 500 crore, including a capacity of three million per annum or more than that in each quarter.

Coal India, which estimates for more than 80% of domestic coal output, is eyeing one billion tonne of production by 2023-24.
