(d): High quality coal is an input for specific sectors i.e. non-power sectors which include mainly steel, cement etc. However; the requirement in these sectors is limited.

Moreover; Indian coal, by nature, has high inherent ash & moisture content and is having very poor properties It is usable only when blended with high quality coal of low ash content. availability ofhigh quality coal is limited in the country. caking Also;

The major chunk of coal production is thermal coal suitable for power generation only. In this regard, the following steps are being taken to ensure quality:

- Emphasis is given in planning stage itself for introducing selective mining especially in opencast mines with a view to improve quality of coal produced. Coal companies have consistently enhanced its production by deploying surface miners in various open cast mines for selective mining; wherever geological conditions permit
- Coal companies are insisting on improved   blasting   technique   through selective blasting in opencast mines for improving quality of coal produced.
- Coal  companies are emphasizing on  development of more and more underground mines with mass production  technologies by introducing Continuous Miner  and Longwall technology with a view to produce quality coal. good
- In order to ensure quality of dispatched coal, system of independent third party sampling for power sector has been adopted and regrading of coal mines has also been taken up. The improved coal supply to power plants has resulted in reduction in specific coal consumption from 0.714 kg/Kwh in 2010-11 to 0.642 kg/Kwh in 201718
- Coal companies have also ensured to supply 100 % crushed & sized coal to its power
- consumers in order to maintain the quality of coal.
- To supply high quality of coal to wide spectrum of consumers, Coal companies are insisting 0n enhancing washed thermal coal to meet the MOEF&CC requirement:

Coal companies have taken the following steps to produce higher quantum of coal:

- Action is taken to  implement  on-going  project  in  time bound manner to achieve targeted production as per schedule. Further the implementation of ongoing project is also expedited through meeting at highest levels of MoEF&CC, regular
- MoRly-, State Government and other regulatory bodies. being
- High capacity  mines are being planned with deployment of high capacity/ high productivity equipment in OC & UG mines. Several high capacity mines have been planned such as Gevra (70 Mty), Magadh (51 Mty), Siarmal (40 Mty), Kusmunda (50 Mty) etc. Coal Companies have also introduced state of the art technology to improve its work efficiency.
- Increase in the production from existing mines is being achieved through capacity expansion and modernization wherever feasible.
- In order to maintain the   planned   growth in  production and evacuation, Coal Companies have undertaken investment in Railway & infrastructure projects in growing coalfields of the country and for its associated loading and transportation activities: road
- Exploration capacity is increased through induction of modern non-invasive
- methods and outsourcing: being
- Efforts are made by all coal companies for   obtaining EC (Environment Clearance) & FC (Forest Clearance) and possessing required non-forest land within the scheduled time frame so that project may start production as per schedule. being
- To increase productivity of mines, mass production technology is used. New mines are also planned mass production technology where ever feasible. Such methods include mining with Continuous Miners and Powered Support Long wall (PSLW) in UG mining: For OC mines, State-of-the-Art HEMMs like 42 cum shovel with 240 T Rear Dumper, Surface miners, draglines, Operator Independent Truck & conveying are introduced to being on being
- improve its coal production and operational efficiency
- Other   environmentally friendly coal transport   technologies like Rapid   loading systems (RLSY Silos, high angel Conveyor and conveyor are proposed for coal transportation which will reduce the operational cost of the mines. Pipe
- Coal Companies are also introducing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other IT-enabled applications to manage, monitor and optimize its human, physical and financial resources which in turn shall boost the operating efficiency of coal mines.
- Due to the above mentioned concerted efforts, CIL 's coal production has increased from 462.41 MT in 2013-14 to 567.36 MT in 2017 18 (four years), an absolute increase of 105 MT as compared to increase of coal production of 31.15 MT between 2009 10 and 2013 14 (four years)
