1.3.5 Prevalent Coal Industry Environment vis-a-vis role of CMPDIL
Approximately 40% of the world’s electricity needs is being provided by coal. Yes,
coal is the second source of primary energy after oil. Since the start of the 21st
century, coal production has been the fastest-growing global energy source. It is the
second source of primary energy in the world after oil, and the first source of
electricity generation. The surge in global coal consumption is driven primarily by
developing economies, such as China and India.
As for India, the economic growth will continue to be robust in coming several years.
Coal is the key fuel in the energy mix and since economic growth and energy use are highly
correlated, coal demand prospects are bullish in near future. The XII Plan (2012-17)
document of Ministry of Coal (March, 2012) indicates coal demand of 980.50 at a CAGR of
7.0 in terminal year of XII Plan i.e. 2016-17. The indigenous all India coal production
projection in 2016-17 is projected to be 795 Mt (615 Mt for CIL). Hence, the demand &
indigenous supply gap by 2016-17 is projected to be 185.5 Mt. Also, even with a longer
perspective beyond XII Plan period, coal production is not likely to be capped in the
country in foreseeable future due to demand restrictions.
Though, on the one hand, the huge demand of coal facilitates for the growth of the coal
producers in the country, the role of CIL - the producer of 81 % of coal in the country
often comes under scrutiny for the coal shortages for the power sector without
acknowledging the role played by CIL in enhancement of the coal production of the country
from 70 Mt in 80s to about 452 Mt in 2012-13 and the adverse impact of non-removal of the
constraints like under-developed infrastructure including poor evacuation logistics of the
railways which has been creating problems for transportation of coal to various power
plants across the country in spite of considerable pit head stock, non-availability of
forestry clearances in time, R&R and law & order problems. Often CIL comes into
the domain of criticism even for the non-performance and inefficiencies of the captive
coal producers to whom a considerable coal reserve has been allocated over the years.
Presently, India is mainly dependent on Indonesia and South Africa for import of Steam
coal and on Australia, United States and South Africa for coking coal. However, the new
regulatory scenarios in Australia and Indonesia are reflective on the increasing coal
prices. This necessitates the requirement of intensive efforts in identifying new avenues
for supply, like Mozambique and others. While the alternate sources for coal import beyond
Indonesia, South Africa and Australia are identified, the challenges in these countries
(like Mozambique, Columbia) are numerous ranging from lack of infrastructure to export
coal out of country, concerns over stability of political and fiscal regime,
unavailability of skilled manpower, etc. Beyond acquiring coal assets, huge investment in
developing surrounding infrastructure and government support to secure stable fiscal
regime would be necessary to ensure long term sustainable coal imports from Mozambique and
Columbia.
The target for detailed drilling for 2013-14 has been substantially enhanced and set at
a level of 9.0 lakh meter from the achievement level of 5.63 lakh meter during 2012-13
which is further emphasized to be raised to a level of 15 lakh meter per year (including
departmental exploration capacity of 4 lakh meter) by 2015-16, considering about 57 lakh
meter of drilling target for the XII Plan period. For building up of drilling capacity,
strengthening of CMPDIL with additional manpower (both executive & non-executive),
plant & machinery and funds for procurement of equipment is under way. However, till
date about 6 lakh meter of detailed drilling in coal bearing is remaining to be carried
out by CMPDI and contractual agencies working under its supervision. Nonetheless, annual
rate of addition in this total requirement of detailed drilling through regional drilling
being carried out by GSI, MECL, etc., is substantially lower than the desired drilling
rate of 15 lakh meter per year. Hence, for sustaining the detailed drilling capacity of
CMPDI at a rate of 15 lakh meter per year, commensurate capacity addition in regional
drilling capacity of various agencies is also necessitated.
CMPDI, being the consulting subsidiary of CIL - the largest coal producer company in
the world, has the mandate to provide exploration, planning & design and other allied
services for its rapid expansion. Additionally, CMPDI’s expert services had been in
demand by other coal producer in public and private sector as well. Stride of coal
companies, mainly of CIL, towards meeting the coal demand from indigenous supply will have
a spurt in CMPDI’s services.
Also, arising out of the deficiencies in the UHV system amidst realization of the fact
that there was no room for quality improvement and gains thereon, shift from coal pricing
from UHV to GCV was affected by CIL which is a welcome step in improving the quality of
coal being supplied to the consumers. However, this has necessitated strengthening of the
required infrastructure for crushing, sizing, washing and sampling of coal. In turn, this
is likely to give further boost to CMPDI’s expert services.
Furthermore, adopting alternative source of coal based non-renewable energy generation
like Coal Bed Methane / Coal Mine Methane, Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) and Coal
Liquefaction, etc., is being stressed to meet energy needs to the extent possible. CMPDI
is generating CBM related data under Promotional Regional Exploration (PRE) programme of
MoC for enlarging CBM resource base. Development of Shale gas has also emerged out as a
promising area of operation for CMPDI. CMPDI’s services are being sought in
generation of CBM related data under delineation of blocks, preparation of data dossiers,
etc. Data dossiers on shale gas, blocks in pursuance to work awarded by DGH, were
submitted by CMPDI. Additionally, emerging area of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) in coal sector is also presenting additional opportunities for CMPDI and
likely to inflate further in coming years.
1.3.6 Strategy adopted to realize above objectives and vision:
With the depth of knowledge and market place CMPDI has in mineral, mining and allied
sectors, it is adopting the following strategies and business plan to realize its
corporate objectives and vision as above:
(i) Enhancing exploration capacity with addition of manpower, plant & machinery,
etc., (ii) Diversification in newer areas of mineral, mining and allied engineering
sectors other than coal, (iii) Increasing market share for outside clients, (iv) Tie-up
with strategic partners both within and outside the country, (v) Upgradation and
modernisation of existing facilities and infrastructure, (vi) Increasing operational
efficiency and work quality, (vii) Improving corporate culture and internal systems,
(viii) Rationalising manpower utilization and executive manpower induction to ensure
continued planning and specialized support to the coal industry, (ix) Better cost control
measures and monitoring and (x) Development of Coal based alternate source of energy and
Shale Gas.
1.3.7 Preparedness of CMPDIL
CMPDI exploration activities had major spurt during the XI Plan period as well as in
the 1st year of the XII Plan. Through departmental drills and outsourcing, CMPDI carried
out 19.41 lakh meter of drilling during the XI Plan period (2007-12) in comparison to
about 10 lakh meter of total drilling carried out during the X Plan period (2002-07).
Also, compared to 2.0 lakh metre of drilling carried out in the beginning year of XI Plan,
i.e. 2007-08, 4.98 lakh metre of drilling was carried out in 2011-12 and 5.63 lakh metre
in 2012-13 through departmental resources and outsourcing. Modernization of departmental
drills, procurement of new mechanical and hydrostatic drills and its deployment, effective
arrangement for drilling accessories including mud pumps and trucks had been the key to
augmentation in the drilling capacity of CMPDI.
The target for 2013-14 has been substantially increased to 9.0 lakh metre which is
further required to be raised to a level of 15 lakh meter per year by the 2015-16
(departmental exploration capacity to be raised to a level of 4 lakh meter. This
necessitated emphasis on outsourcing of substantial number of coal blocks for drilling.
CMPDI had entered into a long term MOU with MECL on 6th January 200 for
offering up to one lakh meter of exploratory drilling per annum to MECL in different coal
blocks. The annual limit has further been enhanced to 1.5 lakh meters from 2012-13. CMPDI
has outsourced 26 coal blocks since 2008 to private agencies through different rounds of
national and global tenders. Further ‘e-tendering’ was introduced for
outsourcing of coal blocks for detailed exploration during 2012-13 and work has been
successfully awarded for 10 blocks through E-tendering and drilling work has started in 5
blocks.
A total of 126 projects were identified for XII Plan resulting in capacity addition
about 438 Mt, against which, project reports for 100 projects, with capacity addition of
about 333 Mt have already been formulated. During the year under review, 2 Project Reports
have been prepared with capacity addition of about 75 Mt. Balance 26 Project Reports with
capacity addition of about 105 Mt will be formulated in subsequent years of XII Plan.
Capacities of most of the laboratories in CMPDI have been upgraded. Chemical and
Petrography laboratories have been upgraded with sophisticated imported equipments and the
capacities have been enhanced. Environment laboratories have been upgraded at HQ and RI-IV
and established at RI-V, whereas, upgradation of RI-I and RI-VI Environmental labs are
underway. Action for establishment of new environmental lab at RI-VII, Bhubneswar and
RI-II, Dhanbad have been taken up. The Mining Technology laboratory has been made capable
for carrying out the Resin and Cement Capsule tests. One heavy duty Universal Testing
Machine (UTM) of 2000 kN capacity has also been procured and installed for determination
of physico-mechanical properties.
CMPDI has created the facility for adsorption isotherm test, which is capable of
testing adsorption capacity of coal seam upto 20 Mpa pressure (a pressure of about 2000
meter depth). The equipment of this capacity is probably first of this kind in India.
Manpower requirement of Exploration, Planning and Design as well as allied engineering
services have been addressed. Out of total requirement of 134 Management Trainees (MTs) in
different disciplines in 2012-13, 131 MTs have been recruited and posted in CMPDI.
Efforts are being made to get remaining number of MTs. Similarly, non-executive
manpower have been brought from other subsidiaries and process of addition in manpower is
going on.
Development of coal based alternate energy sources has become one of the priority area
of operation for CMPDI. Coal Mine Methane project has been successfully demonstrated by
CMPDI at Moonidih project of BCCL. CMPDI has closely pursued the issue regarding
operationalization of CMM with Ministry of Coal and Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
and with the constant pursuit of CMPDI, the matter got resolved between the two ministries
in Aug.’2012 and has paved the way for taking up commercial development of CMM. CMPDI
will take further action after getting a formal order in this regard for which required
collateral activities have already been taken up. In addition, steps taken for commercial
development of UCG in 2 blocks within CIL areas, namely Kaitha (CCL) and Thesgora-C (WCL)
and tenders were under finalization at CIL level. Foray in the area of Shale Gas
development has already been affected and the data dossier on prospective Shale Gas blocks
in Damodar Valley and Sohagpur Basin have been submitted to DGH. CMPDI is likely to be
given the work of examining potentiality of development of Shale Gas even outside CIL
areas.
Satellite surveillance for land reclamation monitoring of opencast projects of CIL is
being carried out by CMPDI from the year 2008. 50 nos. of Opencast projects/mines
producing 5 million cubic meter and more (composite) and 113 Opencast mines/projects
producing less than 5 million cubic meter (composite) are monitored annually and at three
year interval, respectively. Land reclamation monitoring of 90 nos. of opencast projects
of CIL based on high resolution satellite data has been completed during 2012-13.
Additionally, land use/vegetation cover mapping of 6 (Six) coalfields viz. Karanpura, West
Bokaro, East Bokaro, Bander, Singrauli and Korba based on satellite data has been
completed.
Pertaining to the Planning & Design of Coal Handling Plants for various coal mines
of CIL and outside agencies, CMPDI has the expertise for preparation of Basic Layout of a
CHP having facilities of ROM coal receiving, crushing, storing and rapid loading in to
rail wagons for incorporation in the Project Report, preparation of tender document for
turn-key execution of CHPs including detailed specifications of various P&M used in
the CHP and commercial terms & conditions, tendering, tender evaluation and
determination of L-1 bidder for a CHP on turn key basis, design/drawing scrutiny and
author’s supervision, etc. Tendering for Krishnashila CHP (4 Mty) has been carried
out by CMPDI in 12-13, whereas, e-tendering for Block-B CHP (3.5 Mty) and Jayant
Incremental CHP (5 Mty) is in process. Work has also been started for e-tendering of
Nigahi CHP (5 Mty). CMPDI has also future plan for e-tendering of Khadia Incremental CHP
(6 Mty).
As per the directive of Railway Board, diesel locomotives will be phased out and
replaced by Electrical Locomotives. CIL has entrusted the work to CMPDI and accordingly,
the work is underway at CMPDI.
Environmental services rendered by CMPDI to CIL during 2012-13 included preparation of
5 Environment Management Plans (including 30 Form-I) and 180 Environmental Audit
Statements. Environmental Monitoring (air, water and noise) of 28 projects /

Apex Body to administer coal related research activities and, research grant of Coal India
is administered through CIL R&D Board under the Chairmanship of Chairman, CIL.
Having state-of-the-art facility and well equipped laboratory facilities etc, CMPDI has
been recognised as an in-house Research & Development (R&D) unit from the
Department of Science and Industrial Research, Ministry of Science & Technology
(S&T), New Delhi.
The required details Under Section 217(1)(e) read with Rule – 2 of Companies
(Disclosure of particulars in the report of Board of Directors) Rules 1988 are furnished
below:-
FORM B – (Form for disclosure of particulars with respect to absorption) I.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
1. Specific area in which R&D carried out by the Company
i. The Government of India through its Coal Science & Technology (S&T) Plan and
Coal India Limited through its R&D Board have launched R&D activities with
substantial funds being earmarked annually for improvement in production, productivity and
safety in coal mines, coal beneficiation and utilization and protection of environment and
ecology in coal and lignite sector.
ii. CMPDI is the nodal agency for coordination and monitoring of Coal S&T and CIL
R&D projects. These projects are being implemented by various research and academic
institutes related to coal and allied industries with active participation of coal and
lignite mining companies.
iii. CMPDI besides being the nodal agency, a number of research projects have also been
implemented /being implemented by CMPDI.
iv. An R&D Project on microgrid system has been taken up towards use of non
conventional energy as well as conventional energy conservation.
2. Benefits derived as a result of the above R&D
i. Many of these projects have yielded considerable benefits, resulting in operational
improvement, safer working conditions, better resource recovery and protection of the
environment. While some research projects have produced tangible impact on the industry
directly, there are others which have strengthened mine planning, design and technical
services required by both operating mines and future mining projects.
ii. Design tools developed specifically for Indian geo-mining conditions are now
available for a variety of problems, like underground coal pillar design, analysis of roof
capability and stability of partings between multiple seam workings, prediction of surface
subsidence, optimum blast design for various rock conditions, opencast slope stability
etc.
iii. The findings from some projects, like the study in engineering classification of
roof rocks, have led to stipulation by the Directorate - General of Mines Safety (DGMS)
that the design procedures developed should be employed for all underground mines while
seeking statutory permission to work.
iv. To ensure safety of underground workings significant advances through R&D work
have been made for introduction of modern techniques like Ground Penetrating Radar for
detection of old unapproachable water logged workings, trial of blind back filling of
underground voids has also been made with promising results.
v. Advanced methods like remote sensing for mapping of underground fires have been
established as a viable technique.
vi. Further, meaningful studies have been carried out for improvement in coal
beneficiation techniques, especially for high ash Indian coals. Significant results have
also been obtained from research related to combustion techniques for effective
utilisation of high – ash coals. Some of the major projects related to dry
beneficiation of coal are also presently being executed by CMPDI in association with other
organisations.
vii. Notable trials have also been made for re-vegetation of mined out areas, use of
fly ash and production of humic acid from lignite for use as fertilizer etc.
3. Future plan of action
i. For enhancing the quantum of research work needed to address the complexity of
operations of the coal industry and wider involvement of research organizations including
private organizations with adequate infrastructure and expertise, CMPDI on behalf of
Ministry of Coal has invited Expression of Interest (EoI) for areas related to mining
methods, strata control, and mine safety, coal bed methane(CBM), etc., for funding under
S&T Grant of Ministry of Coal.
ii. Future R&D efforts will address areas like liquidation of developed pillar in
underground mines, pit and dump slope stability in opencast mines, hydraulic mining, high
wall mining, Early warning systems for roof prediction and dump & highwall failures,
assessment of shale gas potentiality in Indian coal fields, CBM reserves estimation, CBM
from fugitive emissions from opencast mines, in-situ coal gasification, coal liquefaction,
and development of predictive models for air quality and pollution etc.
iii. A research project related to mine communication is under implementation at one of
the underground mine of CCL. This consists of Through-The-Earth (TTE) one way messaging
system and two way voice communication and tracking system. The integrated system is now
being used with digital wireless telephones in Bhurkunda mine of CCL. Now one can make and
receive a telephone call from underground.
iv. In another research project, self advancing goaf edge (mobile) chock type supports
of 2x240 Tonne have been developed and field trial is under progress at Bastacola mine of
BCCL. v. Another important research project, Shale gas potentiality evaluation of Damodar
basin of India is started recently.
vi. Emphasis has been put on "coal to oil" conversion technology. The
prevailing high prices level of crude and petroleum products warrants a fresh look at coal
liquefaction process. The rising costs and issues related to adequate and assured supply
of oil from overseas have a significant bearing on both the national economy and energy
security. One important project for development of indigenous catalyst for coal – to
- liquid (CTL) is under implementation with an objective to eliminate the dependency on
technology provider for supply of catalysts for future CTL plants likely to be established
in India.
4. Expenditure on R&D during 2012-13:
(a) Capital Rs. 22.75 crore
(b) Revenue
(c) Total: Rs. 22.75 crore
(d) Total R&D expenditure as a percentage of total turnover of CMPDI: 3.78%
(II) TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, ADAPTATION AND INNOVATION
1. Efforts, in brief, made towards technology absorption, adaptation and innovation.
The main R&D in coal sector is mainly for improvement of efficiency parameters in
mining operations including mine safety and related activities like coal
beneficiation/utilization and also on control of mine environment.
2. Benefits derived as a result of above efforts, e.g product improvement, cost
reduction, product development, import substitution etc.
a. Notable advances have been made through R&D efforts in coal exploration
techniques, introduction of mining methods like "blasting gallery and cable
bolting" for recovery of coal in thick seams and shortwall mining at SECL with an
output of more than 1000T per day being replicated now in more panels. "Controlled
blasting" has also been introduced through R&D and is being used now for removal
of overburden rocks and coal in opencast mines as close as to 50m from surface structures
successfully. More than 150 Mt of coal so far has been extracted in more than 116 mines by
introduction of "Controlled Blasting" which otherwise would have been remained
sterilized.
b. A quantified assessment of roof strata called Rock Mass Rating (RMR) developed under
R&D is now being used for designing support in underground mines. So far, over 835
districts in about 273 underground coal mines have been covered.
c. A number of research projects have yielded considerable gains in the area of land
reclamation after mining and utilization of fly ash. Humic acid from lignite as a
fertilizer in agriculture has shown 35% increase of yield in case of capsicum, tomato
crops and also substantial increase in other crops. This product has been commercialized
and is being used by the farmers in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.
d. A multi institutional funded (UNDP/ GEF, CIL and MoC) demonstration research project
on "Coal Bed Methane Recovery and Commercial Utilization" has successfully
concluded at Moonidih underground project, BCCL with encouraging results. The gas
recovered under this project is almost 98% pure methane, which is being utilized to run
gas based generators to supply electricity to Moonidih mine residential colony.
e. Significant improvement has been achieved in both "coking and non-coking coal
washing" and "recovery of fine coals". Encouraging results have also been
obtained from research related to "combustion techniques" for effective
utilization of high-ash coals. Major R&D projects on fine coal beneficiation are under
implementation through CIL R&D funding.
f. A number of research projects has been taken up in the area of environment and
ecology to integrate coal mining activities with ecological conservation and hazards due
to mining. The findings of these research projects have made a significant impact on the
industry resulting in the adoption of proper environment control. Efforts to delineate
unstable working below Howrah- Dhanbad Railway line (Eastern Railway Main Line), stability
analysis by numerical modeling and possible remedial measures for stabilization of railway
line have been made successfully with CIL R&D funds. Programmable Logic Control(PLC)
based monitoring & control system has been successfully designed, developed and
introduced in an underground mine of CIL duly approved by DGMS through another research
project funded by CIL R&D Board.
g. New areas, like application of robotics and latest two-way communication systems for
rescuing miners trapped in underground mines, Coal Bed Methane (CBM)/Coal Mine
Methane(CMM)/Abandoned Mine Methane(AMM) recovery and utilization, utilization of low rank
low volatile high rank Indian coking coals, numerical models to address strata control
problems for appropriate solution, safe dragline dump profiles for varying geo-mining
conditions, Green House Gas(GHG) emissions in mine fire areas, treatment of acid mine
water generated in Indian coal mines, roof fall prediction in underground coal mines, dry
coal beneficiation, development of integrated dumper collision avoidance system for
opencast mines, assessment of shale gas Gondwana basin with special reference to CIL areas
are being addressed through on-going research projects with CIL R&D fund.
h. An indigenous tool for carrying out the job of random sampling and testing of
explosives and accessories for mines of CIL has been developed by CMPDI in association
with IIT, Kharagpur through CIL R&D project.
i. Substantial funds are being earmarked annually A research project under S&T
grant of Ministry of Coal regarding delineation of barrier thickness against waterlogged
workings in underground mines has been completed. In this project, a Ground Penetrating
