CIL has assessed a tentative capital investment of ₹ 57,000 crores for the next five years to ramp-up its coal production to one billion tonnes by 2019-20 from the production level of 494.80 Mt. in 2014-15. This was stated by Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal & New and Renewable Energy (IC) in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
The year-wise tentative capital investment projection is as follows:
CIL | 2015-16 | 2016-17 | 2017-18 | 2018-19 | 2019-20 | Total |
Capital investment (Rs.Crores) | 5990.5 | 8282 | 14539 | 14635 | 13529 | 56975.50 say 57000 |
In the 12th Plan, target for production of coal set for CIL was as follows:
Year | Production Target in Mt |
2012-13 | 464.10 |
2013-14 | 482.00 |
2014-15 | 507.00 |
2015-16 | 550.00 |
However, for the year 2013-14, against a target of 482 Mte, only 462 Mte was produced by CIL resulting in a shortfall of 20 Mte. With aggressive focus on increasing coal production since June 2014, against the original targetted increase of 25 Mte from 482 Mte to 507 Mte. in 2014-15, production of CIL actually increased by 32 Mte i.e. 128% more than target thereby covering the gap of 7 Mte in production of the previous year 2013-14.
The Minister further stated that the increase of 32 Mte in actual production achieved by CIL in 2014-15 is more than the cumulative increase in production for the previous 4 years of 31 Mte.
