For a developing economy like India, assured and

affordable supply of Energy is the prime prerequisite for achieving economic growth and
desired level of human development.
In India, it is Coal which is ensuring this since it
accounts for almost 55% of country's Commercial
Energy needs and more than 70% of Power
Generation.
Going forward, Renewables will have a bigger role
to play than what they are doing today but Coal is
projected to maintain its dominant position for
almost next two decades. This also makes sound
economic sense since the country is blessed with huge
Coal Resources whereas it is rather decient in other
Fossil Fuels like Oil and Gas and development of
Renewables is going to take time.

Challenges in Coal Sector are many and so are the

obstacles which are varied in nature. The objective
of the Summit would be to identify them and take a
comprehensive look there at and chalk out
strategies to meet them. The entire gamut of Coal
Mining activities starting from Exploration and
including Mining technologies, improvement in
Infrastructural facilities, upgrading of Mining
Equipment and facilitation of clearance processes
particularly those related to Environment and Forest
and Land Acquisition and R&R and most importantly
Mine safety will have to be addressed.
Relevant issues to be dwelt upon have been
identied as under:
Modernising Coal Exploration Technology;
Expediting statutory clearances like those

related Forest and Environment;

Enlisting proactive cooperation of the State

The country has an ambitious goal of ensuring 24 x

7 supply of Power for All and for achieving this
objective, the Coal production programme has been
accelerated to 1580 mill tons per annum to be
achieved by 2019-20.

Govts in matters of Land Acquisition & R&R;

Improvement in Infrastructural facilities

particularly Rail connectivity for un-developed/

under developed coalelds;
Upgradation of Mining Equipment;

It is heartening to note that the spell of stagnation

which had crippled the Indian Coal Industry till
about two years back has been broken and the
Industry has achieved an unprecedented growth
rate of 8.4% in 2014-15. More encouragingly, the
way things have progressed, it is likely to do one
better in the current year by achieving a growth rate
of more than 9%.

Improvement in Underground production with

modernisation of Technologies;
Impact of volatility in International Coal Prices on

Domestic Coal;
Development of Captive Coal Blocks;
Improving availability of Indigenous Coking

Coal;
The Industry has thus covered lot of ground but lots
more remains to be done. Need of the day is to take
a look at where and how the Industry has reached
where it is and chalk out the Roadmap for sustaining
the growth momentum that has been generated.
India Energy Forum (IEF), the premier think-tank of
the Country on Energy issues together with Mining,
Geological and Metallurgical Institute of India
(MGMI), Delhi Chapter the oldest organisation of
Earth Scientists in India and Indian School of Mines
Alumni, Association (ISMAA), Delhi Chapter, has
been organising a Biennial Summit on Coal for a
decade now. In view of the current situation and
ongoing developments in the Industry, it is decided
to devote the 6th Coal Summit due this year to the
theme of Indian Coal - Sustaining The Momentum.
This Summit will be organised on 6th and 7th the
September 2016 at Hotel Le Meridian, New Delhi.

Making Coal Mining and Coal Utilisation more

environment friendly with particular emphasis on

Coal Beneciation.
Stimulating coal demand via-a-bid the

production schedule to ensure there is no

mismatch to impact adversely on coal production
schedule
Successful organisation of an Event of this nature
and magnitude will require the active support of all
the stakeholders in Coal Sector like Coal Producers,
Coal Consumers, Regulatory Authorities in general
and that of Ministry of Coal, Ministry of Power,
Ministry of Environment and Forests, Ministry of
Steel, Indian Railways, concer ned State
Governments in particular. This support has already
been sought and assured.
