Under the New Coal Distribution Policy (NCDP), 2007, the scope of coverage through State nominated agencies was increased from 500 tonnes per annum to 4200 tonnes per annum.  An aggregate of eight million tonnes of coal is earmarked per annum for distribution to medium and small scale industries.  The earmarked quantity of eight million tonnes is divided amongst various States/UTs depending on past trends.  This figure of eight million tonnes has not been revised since 2007.
