## ANSWER MINISTER OF COAL, MINES & PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (SHRI PRALHAD JOSHI)

- a. Yes, Sir.
- b. Total of 42 coal blocks have been allocated to private sector under Coal Mine (Special Provisions)  Act,  2015  and  Mine  and  Mineral  (Development  and  Regulation)  Act, 1957 till date through a transparent & competitive bidding mechanism.
- c. During  the  last  3  years,  20  coal  blocks  have  been  allocated  to  Private  Sector companies  under  Coal  Mine  (Special  Provisions)  Act,  2015  and  Mine  and  Mineral (Development and Regulation)  Act, 1957.  List of those  mines  may  be  found  in the Annexure enclosed.
- d. & e. Ministry of Coal allocates coal blocks with production target to the allocattees. Revenue generated from these mines is dependent on coal production and earned by the respective State Governments where mines are located.

Central Government only gets tax and cess portion on such revenue such as Central  Goods  and  Service  Tax  (CGST),  GST  compensation  cess  and  National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET). As such there is no revenue target fixed by the Central Government from allocation of coal mines.
