I would request you to personally look into the issues and send me an action plan from CIL as to how CIL intends to meet its committed production and offtake targets of 2021-22,вЂќ Jain said. It is imperative on part of CIL to meet the requirements of the power sector as projected during the meeting. вЂњThe poor performance of CIL has specially been viewed seriously by the (coal) ministry. This was despite the fact that the power ministry had given consent to supply uncrushed coal as well as cost-plus coal to different consumers,вЂќ Jain said referring to a September 21 review meeting attended by coal minister Prahlad Joshi, railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and power minister Raj Kumar Singh. вЂњThe short supply of coal by CIL despite having vendible coal stock of 44 mt was viewed seriously by all. But in reality, neither has offtake been high enough to liquidate the stocks nor has coal production been satisfactory to make coal available at all railway sidings. In short, the letter pointed out how CIL had all along maintained that because of the huge stock, it was backing down coal production and concentrating on removal of overburden - earth covering coal seams - so that coal supplies can be enhanced at a short notice. Referring to measures suggested for mitigating the coal shortage at power stations in seven meetings, including at ministerial levels, between April 12 and September 9, Jain pointed to CILвЂ™s production and offtake figures to show how the company did not prove up to the task. вЂњI will remind you that the (coal) ministry made a number of attempts to sensitise CIL officials (about the low fuel stocks in power plants)вЂ¦ but the desired results have not been forthcoming,вЂќ coal secretary Anil Jain wrote to company chairman Pramod Agrawal on September 27. The outage amid rising power demand has resulted in more than 10,000 MW capacity to trade at Rs 20 per unit on the power exchanges, data from various sources show. NEW DELHI: Coal India Ltd ( CIL) has landed in the governmentвЂ™s line of fire for ignoring repeated warnings about rising fuel shortage in power stations, which, according to Central Electricity Authority data, has led to 72 generation units with an aggregate capacity of 8,817 MW to shut down.
