*In addition to the above taxes and duties, NMET also accrue to the Centre.  Additionally, GST and GST Compensation Cess is also payable to the Centre which will then be shared by Centre with the States.  Further, Revenue share and employment numbers for partially explored coal mines of 2nd Round of commercial auction have not been calculated since PRC of these mine is not available.

(d) Ministry  of  coal  has  proposed  "Mission  Coking  Coal"  to  augment  the  coking  coal production to 170 MT by FY 2029-30, considering coking coal demand projected in National Steel Policy 2017 and increasing the domestic coking coal blending percentage from 10% to 35 % using Stamp Charging Technology.

Coal India Limited (CIL) has envisaged to enhance its production to reach the level of 1BT coal by the year 2023-24 from its current production level of about 600 MT which includes enhancement of production of both non-coking and coking coal.
