Availability of Coal for Medium and Small Scale Enterprises

As per the New Coal Distribution Policy (NCDP), 2007, the medium and small scale industries whose requirement is less than 4200 tonnes per annum are required to take coal through State Agencies nominated by the respective State Governments. An aggregate of three million tonnes of coal is made available for this purpose. This quantity is allotted amongst various States/UTs depending on past trends. Coal India Limited (CIL) has not received any complaint of medium and small scale enterprises affected due to this arrangement. This was stated by Sh. Piyush Goyal, Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal & New and Renewable Energy in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today. 

A meeting was held on 19.06.2015 by CIL, Kolkata which representatives of State nominated agencies of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Odisha, Assam and Telangana attended. 

The Minister further stated that various issues such as expediting the signing of FSA, timely raising of coal bills, carrying out regular reconciliation of accounts, expediting the refund, settling of old dues, grade of coal supplied, making FSA's for two years subject to the period for which nomination is received etc. were discussed in this meeting.
