CIL’s additional supply reduces coal imports by 90 MT in FY21

The state-owned coal major booked an all-time high of 124 MT in its e-auctions.

New Delhi: State-owned CIL on Thursday said it provided additional coal supply in the country during 2020-21, which prompted customers to opt 90 million tonnes of domestic coal instead of importing it from abroad.

At the end of Covid-19-hit 2020-21, Coal India Ltd’s (CIL) silver lining, amid output and offtake challenges, came in the form of curbing coal imports to the tune of 90 million tonnes (MT), the public sector undertaking said in a statement.

Also, beating the previous estimates, the state-owned coal major booked an all-time high of 124 MT in its e-auctions. Sustaining its growth trajectory throughout the fiscal, over burden removal (OBR) logged 17 per cent growth easing the way for faster future production, the statement said. OB is the extraneous material that overlays the coal seam, removal (OBR) of which makes the dry fuel’s production easier.

“In the absence of our import substitution measures through a host of concessions and benefits, the customers would have had no alternative than to source coal from imports. In that, it was a productive and timely move,” the company said. The company opened a new window exclusively for coal importers in October last year.

CIL allowed its subsidiaries to sign memorandum of understandings (MoUs) with 17 power plants linked to them to substitute their imports with its own coal, for blending. Additional coal was allocated to central and state power generation companies (gencos), under flexi-utilisation, enabling them avert coal imports.

Annual contracted quantity (ACQ) for power plants was enhanced to 100 per cent of normative requirement from 90 per cent. Increased quantities of coal was offered to non-regulated sectors against fuel supply agreements (FSAs) up to 100 per cent of ACQ.

Trigger level for the power sector was elevated from 75 per cent to 80 per cent. Increased bookings in auctions were a major booster in import substitution efforts. While these actions cumulatively helped the power sector opt for domestic coal to the tune of 42 MT, non-regulated sector (NRS) picked up bulk of the rest.

CIL set a new high in booking 124 MT of coal under five e-auction windows in 2020-21 eclipsing the previous record of 113.6 MT achieved in 2016-17.
