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

- (a) The details of quantum of coal sold by the Public Sector Coal Companies during the last three  years  and  the  current  year  alongwith  the  quantum  of  revenue  earned  therefrom  is provided Company wise  as below :
- @ FY 2022-23 Revenue figure is provisional
- (b) The details of the income, targets and reasons thereof in respect of these companies  are at Annexure-I.
- (c) There is no such proposal by Public Sector Coal Companies to take over coal mines from private companies.
- (d) Public Sector Coal companies are encouraged to enhance revenue through increased sale volumes. The Government has allowed Coal Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) to diversify into other sectors like renewable energy, aluminium etc to enhance their revenues. Further, enactment  of  Mines  and  Minerals  (Development  and  Regulation)  Amendment  Act,  2021 provides  that  captive  mine  owners  (other  than  atomic  minerals),  including  Government companies,  may  sell  up  to  50%  of  their  annual  mineral  (including  coal)  production  in  the open market after meeting the requirement of the end use plant linked with the mine in such manner as may be prescribed by the Central Government and on payment of such additional amount. Moreover, the coal production is being augmented continuously resulting in increase in dispatch / sale of coal finally resulting in augmentation of revenue.
