(b)   the details of representations regarding long term coal linkages and allocation of mines received from Karnataka Government for Chhattisgarh thermal power plant during the last four years; and 

(c)    what is the present status thereof? 

ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COAL
(SHRI PRATIK PRAKASHBAPU PATIL) 

(a): The year-wise and state-wise details of coal allocation made for new projects of various State Government's power projects during the last five years is at Annexure-I 

(b): One representation has been received from Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) for grant of long-term coal linkage for their proposed 2x800 MW (1st Phase) and 2x800 MW (2nd Phase) power plant to be set up at Godhna, Janjir, Champa Chhattisgarh. As far as allocation of mines is concerned it is based on the applications called for from the state Governments/ Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) for allocation of identified coal block under Government dispensation. During the period of last four years, applications for allocation of coal blocks to government companies were invited only in December, 2012. In response to the Notice Inviting Applications (NIA) dated 31.12.2012 for 14 coal blocks for specified end-use i.e. Power, this Ministry had received application from Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd. (KPCL) for 8 coal blocks for various TPPs located in the Karnataka State and Godhna TPP (2x800 MW) in the State of Chhattisgarh. 

(c): Coal India Limited (CIL) and its subsidiary coal companies have issued 176 Letters of Assurance (LoA) for coal supply, covering the capacity of about 1,08,000 MW. During the last three years of 11th Plan, capacity of about 26,000 MW has been commissioned and the balance capacity of about 82,000 MW is likely to be commissioned during 12th Plan period and beyond. Since LoAs amounting to more than 80,000 MW for setting up the power projects already exist and subsidiary companies of Coal India Limited (CIL) are reporting negative coal balance, there is prima facia no scope for the grant of new coal linkages/LoAs for the plant under reference. 

In so far as allocation of mines is concerned, the proposal received from Godhna TPP (2x800 MW) in the State of Chhattisgarh was not recommended by CEA/Ministry of Power.
