Joshi lists Rs.1.22 lakh crore plan

Coal India Ltd (CIL) will invest over Rs.1.22 lakh crores on about 500 projects related to coal evacuation, infrastructure, project development, exploration and clean coal technologies.

This was announced by Coal and Mines Minister Mines Pralhad Joshi during a Stakeholders meet organized by CIL through video conferencing on 1 Sept 2020.

Joshi called for engagement and involvement of all concerned stakeholders in the company’s affairs, adding it will reduce and uncover the project risks.

“Such two-way interactions help pave way for mutually beneficial newer ideas, improvement areas and project-related expectations.” He said.

The Minister said that avenues for business opportunities with Coal India are huge as the company would be investing around Rs.14,200 crores by the year 2023-24, in two phases for its 49 First Mile Connectivity projects.

The First Mile Connectivity is the transportation of coal from pitheads to dispatch points, he explained, adding that this is being done to bring in improved efficiency in coal transport and to undertake computer-aided loading replacing the existing road transport between the two points.

Out of the proposed spend of over Rs.1.22 lakh crores, CIL has planned Rs.32,696 crores investment on Coal Evacuation, Rs.25,117 crores on Mine Infrastructure, Rs.29,461 crores on Project Development, Rs.32,199 crores on diversification & clean coal technologies, Rs.1,495 crores on social infrastructure and Rs.1,893 crores on exploration works by the year 2023-24.

Further, in a transformative plan to increase coal output and reduce import dependency of coal in the ensuing years, Coal India has identified a total of 15 greenfield projects to operate through Mine Developer and Operator (MDO) model. This would be an investment of about Rs.34,600 crores of which likely investment ending FY2024 is about Rs.17,000 crores.

Evacuation infrastructure is another major area where Coal India will be infusing large sums of money into the economy.

Investments in rail logistics like developing major railways (about Rs.13,000 crores) railway sidings (about Rs.3,100 crores) and procurement of own wagons (Rs.675 crores) would total up to likely investment of over Rs.16,500 crores by FY 23-24.

Giving these details, the Minister said that Coal India and its subsidiaries are engaged in the procurement of various types of Goods, Works and Services amounting to approximately Rs.30,000 crores per year.

This is where the role and importance of stakeholder steps in. He pointed out that Coal India in its endeavor to procure goods, works and services in a fair, transparent and equitable manner has made numerous updates, changes in its Manuals and Guidelines for the benefits of vendors and stakeholders to enhance the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and adherence to principles of transparency.

Anil Kumar Jain, Secretary (Coal), Pramod Agarwal, CMD CIL and other senior officials from the Ministry of Coal and CIL attended the Meet and interacted with stakeholders.

In stakeholder friendly initiatives, Coal India has relaxed an array of measures and provide exemptions for greater participation of its stakeholders in its tenders.

Experience criteria have been brought down from 65% to 50% for mining tenders, while work experience criteria are relaxed by 50% in turnkey contracts.

The Pre-Qualification requirement for participation in low-value Works & Service Tenders has now been done away with.

MSEs and Start-ups are exempted from having prior experience and turnover. There is no requirement of EMDs for MSEs and Start-ups. Make-in-India provisions have been fully integrated in all tenders, said the Coal Ministry. #coal #opec #energy #manufacturing #tenders #investment #procurements /fiinews.com
