Need to enhance domestic coal production to meet rising demand: Piyush Goyal

20 Jun 2014 Evaluate

Coal and Power Minister Piyush Goyal has expressed the need to increase the domestic coal production by sorting out environmental issues in order to meet the rising demand. Power Minister has stated that lack of favorable policies over the past couple of years has impacted the domestic coal production and it has become imperative to take measure soon to improve the situation. 

Piyush Goyal also stated that presently coal ministry is in conversation with environment ministry and both ministries are planning to take measures soon to resolve environment concerns, impacting coal mining in the country. By adding further, Coal and Power Minister  stated that to enhance coal production, ministry is also looking at other ways such enhancing morale of coal India employees through giving more incentive. Minister also ensures that there would be an improvement in coal quality in coming future.

India is world's fifth largest in terms of reserves and the third-largest producer of coal. Over the past few years, India domestic production has failed to keep pace with increasing domestic demand. Indian domestic coal demand is around 35 percent higher than domestic supply, resulting into a high deficit of which a huge part is being met by costly imports from Indonesia, South Africa and Australia. Acute coal shortages in the country have become primary reason for power deficit as coal-fired plants account for 68% of India's installed electricity capacity. Presently, Coal India (CIL) is the only producer of domestic coal accounting for around 80 percent of the domestic production. Meanwhile, in order to meet India’s growing coal demand, the government has planned to allot coal mines directly to private players under public-private partnership (PPP) mode, which would also end the monopoly of public sector unit Coal India.
