IMG on coal blocks to review the status of over 40 mines

23 Oct 2013 Evaluate

The inter-ministerial group (IMG) on coal blocks which is scheduled to meet this week is likely to review the status of mine awarded to Mahanadi Coalfields, Neyveli Lignite Corp and Hindalco Industries. There are more than 40 coal blocks, including the Talabira II situated in Jasukuda district of Odisha awarded to Hindalco and others, which recently came in lime light with CBI filing a case for alleged conspiracy to award the block.

The government had formed the IMG last year to review the progress of coal blocks allocated to firms for captive use and recommend action, including de-allocation. The panel under the chairmanship of the additional secretary in the coal ministry also has members from the steel and power ministries.

The review panel does not scrutinise the allocation procedure. Rather, it watches whether the block owners are exploring the mine according to the set milestones. If a company is found delaying developing a block, it will first be issued a show-cause notice seeking explanation and if the explanation is found invalid, it will recommend to the Coal Minister to deduct the bank guarantee of the company or de-allocate the block. Most of the blocks under review figure in the CBI's Coalgate probe and on October 24 and 25, the panel will take a call on all the 30 coal blocks which were issued show cause notices a couple of months back.
