fEATURE
Ministry of Coal and representative of state and Central
governments may be organised every three months.
Forming a monitoring sub-committee in this regard at the
ministry level may be considered.
♦♦
Joint venture companies formed by the joint allocattees are
required to submit a compliance status of Coal Block and
associated EUPs of individual allocates to CCO by fifth of
the next month after every quarter. Block allocattees were
advised to submit the progress reports and renewed BG to
CCO without any lapse.
♦♦
All the allocatees were advised that BG should be
submitted by the JVC in case of jointly allocated coal
blocks. Individual submission of BGs will not be accepted.
From the reported progress, it is seen that production
from a few coal blocks will be started in the year 2011-2012
or the near future as per the indicated schedule. It is the
recommendation of the Committee that the allocatees of these
coal blocks be advised to start mining or coal production in
2011-12 or as per the indicated schedule of production failing
which appropriate action will be initiated.
The progress of the following blocks was not found to be
satisfactory but it is seen that these blocks were delayed due
to ‘Go/No Go’ categorisation, location in wildlife corridors,
allocation to PFC for UMPPs and overlapping of coal bearing

area with CBM/Aerotropolis project. Committee expressed
concern over unsatisfactory progress and advised the
allocattees whose blocks were held up due to location in No-
Go area to pursue their forest diversion proposals since Go/
No-Go concept has been done away with. The Committee has
also advised the other allocattees to pursue their cases with the
concerned authorities and get the requisite forest clearances
expedited.

The progress of 58 blocks* was not found to be satisfactory.
The Committee expressed concern over unsatisfactory
progress and advised to expedite the development of the coal
blocks and be cautioned to be careful in future with respect
to the milestones stipulated. If they do not improve the
performance on the speedy development of the block further,
action including deduction of BG or deallocation would be
considered.
