the year 2014-15 which works out to 2568.76% of the Paid-up Equity Share Capital.
Off-take of Coal during the year 2014-15 was 73.69 MT against the previous year’s Off-take of 72.11 MT registering a growth of 2.19%.
Your Company followed the concept of workers participation in management and maintained cordial industrial relations. Your Company also paid due attention on employees welfare and social amenities. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities undertaken by your Company during the year included construction of roads, water supply, community hall, skill development, healthcare, education.
Your Company has complied with the conditions of Corporate Governance as stipulated in the Guidelines on Corporate Governance for Centeral Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) issued by the Department of Public Enterprises, Government of India. As required under the said guidelines a separate section on Corporate Governance has been added in the Directors’ Report and a Compliance Certificate obtained from the Statutory Auditors has been annexed to the Directors’ Report.
The physical and financial results achieved by NCL have been possible due to relentless efforts made by the employees of the Company. I am sure, all employees will continue to put in concerted efforts to scale newer heights and thus achieve the targets set for the Company not only for Coal Production but also on all fronts.
Coal being the prime source of energy, demand for the same is ever increasing. For the year 2015-16, your Company has been assigned a target of 79.50 MT for coal production. We also need to focus our attention on liquidation of coal stocks so as to maximize sales realization and in turn to achieve much better financial results.
I am confident that with sustained efforts of all concerned, NCL will grow at desired pace in the Financial Year 2015-16 and years ahead.
I also take this opportunity to convey our sincere thanks to the Government of India, Ministry of Coal, Coal India Limited and all Stakeholders for the trust reposed on us and opportunity given for further growth.

2.1.1 Enchanced EC clearance of three mines namely Bina, Krishnashila and Block-B obtained in the month of August, 2014 but consent to operate was given by the State Govt. of UP/MP in the month of Feb & March, 2015. The delay in clearance of EC & Consent from these three mines lead to coal shortfall of 1.87 MT.
draglines in NCL has affected not only the OB removal programme, but coal production as well.
2.1.3 The main reasons for less achievement of Coal Production and OB Removal by Departmental means are as follows :
As per Board approval of HEMM based on PR/RPR/survey off norms, following equipment are urgently required :

Dumper 725 68185 461 45930 22255 223 Shortages based on 100 Tes bucket capacity
2.1.4 The shortage of these equipment are the biggest hurdle in existing production capacity. At present two nos. of draglines are under erection at Amlohri, 05 Nos. of dragline and 24 nos of Shovels are under process of NIT preparation and under process of tendering respectively. Supply order of 36 nos. of 100 Tes capacity Dumpers are placed and are under commissioning/ Operation.
2.1.5 The availability of Shovels had been badly affected due to non supply of spares of Shovels. M/s Vulcan, Gujrat and M/s Rajesh Engg , Raipur were the main Suppliers for Shovel spares - some of which are listed below:
Dipper Handle, Final Drive Gear,
Final Drive Pinion, Lower Roller assembly,
Drive Tumbler, Shaft and Pinion, and various types of Gears etc.
Rail 34.18%
MGR 48.35%
Road 17.47%
Mode-wise Off-take
2.1.2 One dragline scheduled to be commissioned in April, 2012 at Amlohri was delayed and commissioned by May, 2014. Second dragline scheduled to be commissioned in April, 2013 at Krishnashila was delayed and was commissioned by January, 2015. Third and fourth dragline scheduled to be commissioned in May, 2013 and May 2014 respectively at Amlhori itself was also delayed due various issues and yet to be commissioned by M/s. HEC.
Such a period of lag in commissioning schedule of all the upcoming three

2.1.6 Since M/s Vulcan, Gujrat had been banned and M/s Rajesh Engg. Raipur were unable to supply the spares as per Supply Order. M/s HEC is also not been able to supply spares in time. So the performance of Shovels had become very poor and it affected the production programme of OB Removal and Coal as well.
2.1.7 The BE-9 Hydraulic Shovel at Amlohri and One BE-1600 Shovel at Khadia was under breakdown due to fire in the machine since Feb’14 and March, 2013 respectively. The shovel was under MARC with M/s. BEML and its work for rehabilitation/maintenance was not yet started by March’15.
2.1.8 Stoppage of work by HOE contractor M/s Sainik Mining and Allied services Ltd. at Jayant and Dudhichua from April, 2014 had greatly affected the OB Removal and subsequent the coal production on account of lack of coal exposure.
2.1.9 Poor performance of outsourcing agency M/s JP-ASD-Dhilu (JV) at Dudhichua and M/s Saumya Mining Ltd. at Nigahi project and complete stoppage of work from April, 2014 to November, 2014 for 78 days badly affected the OB removal and coal production program as well.
2.1.10 The boom of 20/90 Bajrang Dragline at Nigahi project has collapsed on 18.1.2014 due to structural failure causing loss in OB Removal and less coal exposure from turra seam.
2.2 Production Programme for the year 2015-16
2.2.1 The company has finalized a Programme for Coal Production of 79.50 Mill. Tes. and OB Removal of 285 Mill. Cum for the year 2015-16. Out of this OB removal by departmental means has been planned for 80.0 Mill. Cum and 205.00 Mill. Cum by HOE means /Outsourcing.
2.3. Productivity
2.3.1 The productivity in terms of Output per Man Shift (OMS) for the year 2014-15 has been 13.76 tes. in comparison to last year OMS 13.78 tes.

5.0 QUALITy CONTROL
5.0.1 Sampling Arrangement
As per the directives of Ministry of Coal, Govt. of india, NCL has switched over to Independent Third Party Sampling appointed by power consumers at loading end from the month of February, 2015. Consumers l ike NTPC, UPRVUNL, RRVUNL, HPGCL and Lanco have appointed their own Independent Third Party Sampling Agency at loading end for sampling and analysis work.
Prior to introduction of Independent Third Party Sampling Agency by consumers, sampling and analysis work was being carried out at Loading End by third party agency appointed by NCL/CIL during 2014-15.
5.1 Sizing of Coal
5.1.1 The entire dispatch of coal during the year 2014-15 was made after proper sizing as detailed below :

5.2 Weighment of coal
5.2.1 During 2014-15 almost 100% coal supplies have been weighed on electronic weighbridges to the full satisfaction of consumers.
5.3 Quality complaints and action taken thereon
5.3.1 During 2014-15 approx. 21nos. of
complaints were received from power houses. The nature of complaints were primarily on account of oversized/ uncrushed coal supplied to the power houses in rakes loaded from wharfwall sidings at Krishnashila, Dudhichua (Jayant) and Spur Siding (Block ‘B’). Details of complaints received during the last three years are given below :

5.3.2 Coal was loaded at Spur Siding (Block B) after passing through an Interim CHP and Dozer crushing. Krishnashila Project is having two Feeder Breakers for sizing the coal. However, in order to ensure maximum sizing and crushing, manual labourers were also deployed. Loading at Dudhichua Wharfwal l (Jayant Project) is made by pay loaders after crushing the coal by means of dozer. Adequate measures were taken at these projects while loading Railway rakes so as to ensure proper sizing and quality of coal, free from stone/ shale and extraneous materials. However, since sizing through Dozer crushing and manual breaking is not fully effective, it was difficult to achieve sizing to the ful l satisfaction of the consumers particularly when loading from the above sidings was done round the clock including nights shifts to maximize coal supplies.

Forest clearances (FCs) have been accorded to the NCL projects by the Govt of India, MoEF/ concerned State Governments (of UP and MP). Til l 31.03.2015, total 8,018.006 hectares forest land has been granted forest clearances, out of which, total 7,838.500 hectares Forest Land has been handed over to the NCL Projects by the concerned State Forest Departments. During 2014-15, total 170 ha. forest lands (150 ha. for Bina Extension by the MP Forest Department and 20 ha. for Krishnashila project by the UP Forest Department) have been handed over.
9.3.1.1 These clearances stipulate certain conditions to be complied with by the user agency. These conditions basically relate to payment of Net Present Value (NPV), compensatory afforestation (CA), reclamation of mined out areas, creation of safety zones around mining areas, meeting fuelwood needs of labourers and employees engaged in mining activities etc. The basic objectives of these conditions are to ameliorate/mitigate the impacts on forests and its various ecosystem attributes (wildlife, flora, fauna, bio-diversity etc.) resulting from coal mining activities. Brief details of various forest/ecological mitigative measures undertaken by the NCL projects are given below :
9.3.2 Compensatory Afforestation
The compensatory afforestation is the afforestation done in lieu of the diverted forest lands for coal mining and other purposes.
Earlier, compensatory afforestation was done over equivalent area of non-forest land. There is a special provision for Central Government/Central Government Undertaking projects. According to that compensatory afforestation is to be raised on degraded forest lands twice the area of forest land being diverted. The State Forest Departments are to identify “blank” or “degraded” forest land for compensatory afforestation and the user agency has to deposit the amount for compensatory afforestation with the concerned State Forest Departments.
In lieu of the diverted forest lands, total 4,323.869 hectares non-forest lands have been purchased by the NCL and handed over to the concerned State Forest Departments for compensatory afforestation along with the required costs of compensatory afforestation. Besides this, total 3,951.492 hectares degraded forest lands have been identified by the concerned State Forest Departments for the purpose of compensatory afforestation and the NCL has paid Rs. 4791.967 lakhs for compensatory afforestation over these lands.
9.3.3 Net Present Value (NPV) :
NCL has paid total Rs. 9,802.298 lakhs towards Net Present Value (NPV) as per the stipulated condition of forest clearances.
9.3.4 (Biological) Reclamation of Mined Out Areas :
After Over Burden Dumps, which are made by back filling of mined out areas, after having achieved the planned heights, are technically reclaimed by means of retaining walls, terraces/steps etc. Afterwards, biological reclamation works are carried out through plantations of suitable local species.
During the year 2014-15, 91.41 ha. OB dumps areas have been biologically reclaimed by planting 3.20 lakhs plant

TRADE RECEIVABLE (Contd.)
*PROVISION TOWARDS DEEMED LOWERING OF GRADE
WiththeintroductionofGrossCalorificvalue(GCV)systemofgradingofcoalw.e.f.1stJanuary2012,supply of coal to NTPC was billed at declared grade of coal corresponding to the GCV range of the coal supplied. With effect from October 2012 NTPC released payment based on GCV determined unilaterally at the receiving end, contrary to the provision of Fuel Supply Agreement which stipulates that the GCV is to be determined at the loading end by joint collection, preparation, testing and analysis of the coal being supplied.
As a result an amount of Rs. 669.89 Crore (Basic bill value Rs.643.88 crore and incentive for 2012-13 Rs.26.01 crore) was unilaterally withheld by NTPC for the period October, 2012 to September, 2013 as on 31.03.2015 from the bills of the Company in respect of supply of coal, which was against the provision of FSA. The issue was taken up with the Ministry of Power through the Ministry of Coal for resolution which resulted in incorporation of a provision for third party sample collection, preparation, testing and analysis at the point of loading in the FSA. Such third party sampling/analysis was implemented from October 2013.
For an appropriate resolution of the issue, the Govt. of India advised for extrapolation of the result of the third party sampling/analysis during October – December 2013 to the supplies during the past period from October 2012 to September 2013. On the basis of this settlement formula an amount of Rs. 669.89 crore (Basic bill value Rs. 643.88 crore and incentive for 2012-13 Rs. 26.01 crore) has been provided in the Accounts upto 31.03.2015.
**It includes a sum of Rs. 3.34 crores recoverable from e-auction & road sale customers on account of the supplementary bills raised for recovering the excise element on royalty and stowing excise duty paid under protest by the Company for the period 1.03.2011 to 28.2.2013. The recoveries from the customers to the extent of Rs. 1.74 crores , have been stayed by the courts. Further, the issue as to the royalty to be a part of the transaction value is pending before the larger bench of the Supreme Court. The Company has challenged the chargeability of the excise duty on royalty and stowing excise duty before the CESTAT, New Delhi and the case is pending for hearing/ decision. In view of above, no provision has been made against the same.
Total provision of Rs. 707.81 Crores for Bad & Doubtful Debts is considered adequate as at 31.03.2015 (As at 31.03.2014 Rs. 653.68 Crores).

WiththeintroductionofGrossCalorificvalue(GCV)system of grading of coal w.e.f. 1st January 2012, supply of coal to NTPC was billed at declared grade of coal corresponding to the GCV range of the coal supplied. With effect from October 2012 NTPC released payment based on GCV determined unilaterally at the receiving end, contrary to the provision of Fuel Supply Agreement which stipulates that the GCV is to be determined at the loading end by joint collection, preparation, testing and analysis of the coal being supplied.As a result an amount of Rs. 669.89 Crore (Basic bill value Rs.643.88 crore and incentive for 2012-13 Rs.26.01 crore) was unilaterally withheld by NTPC for the period October, 2012 to September, 2013 as on 31.03.2015 from the bills of the Company in respect of supply of coal, which was against the provision of FSA. The issue was taken up with the Ministry of Power through the Ministry of Coal for resolution which resulted in incorporation of a provision for third party sample collection, preparation, testing and analysis at the point of loading in the FSA. Such third party sampling/analysis was implemented from October 2013.For an appropriate resolution of the issue, the Govt. of India advised for extrapolation of the result of the third party sampling/analysis during October – December 2013 to the supplies during the past period from October 2012 to September 2013. On the basis of this settlement formula an amount of Rs. 669.89 crore (Basic bill value Rs. 643.88 crore and incentive for 2012-13 Rs. 26.01 crore) has been provided in the Accounts upto 31.03.2015.
