CIL TO HIKE COAL PRICES BY 15 PC FROM TONIGHT - THE TIMES OF INDIA


The Times of India reported that, an Indian State-run coal producer, Coal India will raise the price of coal on an average by about 15 per cent with effect from tonight to bring in some parity between the domestic and international prices.

"We are selling coal at 50 per cent lower than imported price. There is a huge gap between overseas and domestic price. Hence, our Board took the decision of raising the price yesterday," said a source in CIL (Coal India Ltd).

The state-run CIL, the world's largest coal producer, had last raised the dry fuel price in October 2009.

Coal has become costlier in the international market as production of the fossil fuel has suffered badly due to flash floods in Australia's Quuensland province that accounts for 40-45 per cent of the world's coking coal exports.

The disruptions in production pushed up the spot prices of coking coal by USD 40-50 per tonne to USD 280-290 a tonne recently.

The price hike would help CIL to partially mitigate its rising operating costs, including a huge outgo on the salary account for its around 3.85 lakh employees.

"The targeted production growth of 7 per cent could not be achieved this year due to environmental problems. There is an urgent need to maintain the topline of the company," the source said.

State-owned CIL, which accounts for over 80 per cent of the domestic coal production through its seven subsidiaries, marginally missed its output target of 435 million tonnes in 2009-10. It has a production target of about 460 MT for this fiscal.

The Economic Survey 2010-11, tabled in the Parliament yesterday, had attributed the lower growth in coal production in the current year to environmental restrictions and poor law and order situation in Jharkhand and Orissa.

The coal Ministry and its environment counterpart have been at loggerheads for over a year now after mining was disallowed in 203 blocks, classified as 'no-go' zones in 2009, thereby, stalling projects with a production potential of 660 million tonnes of coal a year.
