## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR COAL, POWER, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

(a): During  April-October  2016-17,  CIL  produced  273.57  Mte.  of  coal    which was 89% of its corresponding target. The off-take of coal from CIL was 292.16 Mte. during April-October 2016-17 which was 88.% of the corresponding target.

Generally, it is observed that coal production slows down considerably between June-September  every  year.  This  trend  is  evident  this  year  also  and  the downswing has been greater than previous years due to excessive rain in coal mining areas. The production has picked up from October onwards

(b)&(c): Though the vendible stock of CIL as on 1/11/2016 at 38.59 Mte. was higher as compared to the vendible stock of 31.74 Mte as on 1/11/2015, CIL has planned to produce more coal and has set a target of producing 598.61 Mt. coal in 2016-17 against an achievement of coal production of 538.75 Mt during 2015-16 with a growth rate of 11.11%.

(d): The  Overburden  removal  by  CIL  during  2015-16  was  1148.91  Million Cubic  meter  as  compared  to  886.53  Million  Cubic  meter  during  2014-15 having an incremental growth of 262.38 Million Cubic meter.

(e): Overall  off-take  of  coal  from  CIL  during  2016-17  (upto  Oct.  2016)  was 292.16 Mte (Prov.) as against 295.80 Mte. during the corresponding period of last year, a drop of 3.64 Mte on a year on year basis. Dispatch to power utility sector from CIL sources during 2016-17 (upto Oct. 2016) declined by 8.27 Mte to 216.86 Mte. (Prov) against 225.13 Mte. during corresponding period of last year  primarily  on  account  of  regulated  lifting  by  Thermal  Power  Plants  who preferred to consume from stock.

## 270. SHRIMATI  KOTHAPALLI  GEETHA:

Will the Minister of NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY be pleased to state:

- (a) whether India's renewable energy capacity could touch 225 GW by 2022 if hydro-electricity is added to the renewable category as is being done the world over, if so, the details thereof ;
- (b) whether  it  is  a  fact  that  it  is  only  in  India  where  hydro-projects  below  25  MW  are  considered renewable and those above are considered non-renewable, if so, the details thereof; and
- (c) whether the Government is looking into removing this distinction and prepared a report to put it out for public consultation, if so, the details thereof and present status in this regard?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR POWER, COAL, NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY & MINES (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

- (a): Government has set the target to reach 175 GW of Renewable Energy capacity by the year 2022 which includes 5 GW from Small Hydro (up to 25 MW station capacity).  So far larger  hydro plants are not considered as Renewable  Energy.    In  case  large  hydro  capacity  (above  25MW)  is  added  to  the  renewable  category,  India's Renewable Energy capacity could reach 225MW.

(b): Hydro power can be called renewable power of energy because it uses the water for generation of electricity  without any consumption and  leaves this vital resource available for other uses.

Implementation of Hydro Power up to 25 MW station  capacity was  brought under the ambit of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy from Ministry of Power during 1999.

The norms of SHP differ from country to country. In some countries  station capacity with more than 25 MW is classified as SHP, example- Brazil -30 MW, Canada-50 MW,  China- 50 MW, Pakistan- 50 MW, Vietnam30MW, Eastern Europe/ Russian countries - 30 MW.

- (c): Yes Madam,  the matter is under examination.
