ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15__________________________________________________________

Chairmans Statement
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Northern Coalfields Limited ( NCL), I
welcome you to the 30th Annual General Meeting of NCL and present before
you the Annual Report of your company for the Financial Year 2014-15.
Your Company produced 72.48 Million Tonnes of coal during the year 2014-15
with a growth of 5.60% over previous year.
On the Financial front, however, your Company recorded better performance in
as much as that the profit Before Tax (PBT) of your Company during 2014-15 was
Rs. 3713.47 crores registering a growth of 10.66% over PBT of Rs. 3355.71 crores
during the year 2013-14. The Company paid Dividend of Rs. 4563.99 crores for
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 years 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.

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.

2.1.2 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.

As per Board approval of HEMM based


on PR/RPR/survey off norms, following
equipment are urgently required :

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:

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.

Feb14 and March, 2013 respectively. The
shovel was under MARC with M/s. BEML
and its work for rehabilitation/maintenance
was not yet started by March15.
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

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 :

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 like NTPC, UPRVUNL,
RRVUNL, HPGCL and Lanco have
appointed their own Independent Third
Party Sampling Agency at loading end for
sampling and analysis work.

Nature of complaints (Fig. in nos.)

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.

5.2.1 During 2014-15 almost 100% coal


supplies have been weighed on electronic
weighbridges to the full satisfaction of
consumers.

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 Wharfwall
(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
full satisfaction of the consumers
particularly when loading from the
above sidings was done round the clock
including nights shifts to maximize coal
supplies.

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.

accorded to the NCL projects by the
Govt of India, MoEF/ concerned State
Governments (of UP and MP). Till
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 T hese 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, biodiversity etc.) resulting from coal mining
activities. Brief details of various forest/
ecological mitigative measures undertaken
by the NCL projects are given below :

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

9.3.2 Compensatory Afforestation


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.

The compensatory afforestation is the


afforestation done in lieu of the diverted forest
lands for coal mining and other purposes.

TRADE RECEIVABLE (Contd.)
*PROVISION TOWARDS DEEMED LOWERING OF GRADE

With the introduction of Gross Calorific value (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.
**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).

Management's Reply

With the introduction of Gross Calorific value (GCV) This is a statement of fact, calls
system of grading of coal w.e.f. 1st January 2012, for no comments separately.
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.
