Green nod not required for 74 coal blocks to be auctioned in February: Govt

01 Dec 2014 Evaluate

The 74 coal mines out of 204 quashed mines by Supreme Court will not require any green clearances, the government stated. The government plans to auction 74 coal mines, having potential produce 210 million tonnes of coal, to specific end-users in the first phase of bidding on February 11. The auction will be for the private sector, while state-owned companies will get mines via allotment. Among 74 blocks, 42 blocks are already into production and another 32 which are ready for production.

Highlighting that land acquisition and environment clearances are not an issue for these blocks, Coal Secretary Anil Swarup has asserted that the clearances for these 74 blocks that have been given in the past shall pass on to the new allotees. The Ministry of Environment and Forests have agreed that there would not be any requirement for fresh clearances and is working out a formulation, Coal Secretary added.

The e-auction of coal blocks will have a two-stage tender process of technical and financial bids and the number of mines a company can bid will be capped to avoid monopoly.

Indian domestic coal demand is around 35 percent higher than domestic supply. The government aimed to double the domestic coal production to 1 billion tonnes in the next five years. The government had already cleared that it will soon come out with a clear-cut strategy paper aimed at doubling coal production during next five years.
