CHAPTER -III
ACTION PLAN
Framing of an UG Vision Document was required to enhance UG
production to about 90 to 100 Mt by 2027-28 and reach 125 MT by
2029-30 from the current levels of 25 Mt. For this, subsidiary wise
production plan, indicating the projects to be taken up, timelines of
such identification, projectization and approval for implementation
etc. is to be laid out properly. The roadmap so prepared must be able
to granularly indicate the projects to be undertaken, schedule of
approval of PR, production YOY, type of mines that are to be consid-
ered along with their peak rated capacities (i.e. Highwall/CM/Long-
wall/Shortwall), mode of mining (MDO/HoE/Risk Gain sharing basis)

NCL:
Detailed Exploration: All the coal blocks located at Main Basin are yet to be explored by CMPDIL. Also, all the 05 Coal Blocks which are under PR stage are having very less
Borehole density (2.85 -9).
Financial Viability: Draft report submitted by CMPDIL for both the projects suggests negative IRR for both the Projects.
Greenfield Projects: All blocks are located in a virgin area which requires huge infrastructure development and other associated issues.
Poor Coal Grade- Coal available at Main basin is of inferior quality ranging from G8-G14. Thus, price realization is also at the downward side.
Geo-technical issues: Most of the Coal seams are thin. Coal seams are highly faulted, posing a serious challenge to mining.

Anticipated constraints along with mitigating measures:
Anticipated project risks & uncertainty along with possible mitigating measures:
CCL:
A longwall project at Patratu ABC UG was conceived but it could not take off because of Patratu Gomoh railway line passing over the property. It requires diversion.
Regarding Possibility of LW Projects or CM Projects for deeper coal seams below the Opencast seams:
No. Name of Mine Name of UG Seams Remarks
1. Dhori Area Amlo UG Seam-III / V Report is already prepared. Capacity of the project is 0.36 Mty. Life of the project is around 12 years.
The parting between floor of quarry and seam-V is around 30m. Discussed with DGMS, the parting is
not sufficient so depillaring below active dumping will be unsafe. Permission may not be granted.
Hence report is shelved.
2. B & K Area Karo UG Seam-III & Karo opencast is in operation and dump is proposed over the developed workings of Karo UG.
V Dump height is around 40m above original surface RL. Standing pillars will be undersize due
to external dump and chances of crushing of pillars as seen in Bhurkunda UG. DGMS
suggested extraction below active dump will not be allowed and completion of active dumping
stability of pillars will suggest the extraction possibilities.
3 B & K Area Godo UG Seam-III & Godo opencast is planned in overlying seam-VI/VII combined. Underlying seam-III & V may be taken by UG.
Seam-V The parting between the floor of quarry & seam-V may be around 30m same as that of Amlo UG.
Hence extraction of seam-III & V may be possible only after completion of opencast.
4. B & K Area Kargali UG Karo group Overlying seams up to Bermo seam has opencast potentiality. But existing Kargali OC is filled up
of seams with fly ash. Kargali opencast is worked up to Kargali Seam. Progress of opencast is restricted due to
Kargali Bazar, railway line and Kargali washery in dip side of the property.
WCL:
Longwall Projects can be conceived in WCL Underground Mines. Earlier, Project Reports were prepared with Longwall Technology in Shaktigarh, Murpar, Borda, Sangam and
Silewara Deep Blocks. But owing to Surface Infrastructure constraints and unviability of reports, these reports could not fructify.
Longwall Projects/Continuous Miner Projects for deeper coal seams on the dip side existing opencast coal mines could not be conceived in WCL Mines. The reasons are as
mentioned below:
i. Dip side of opencast mines in the deeper portions is in progress beyond 300m depth.
ii. Thick seams of about 18m exists and Kamthi series having aquifers exists in Wardha Valley Coalfield. Planning the thick seams with either longwall or continuous miner
technologies having highly watery problems, very high slushy conditions and fiery condition makes it difficult. Till date, extraction by stowing has been adopted in the
underground mines of Wardha Valley Coalfield.
iii. In other coalfields of WCL, multiple coal seams with wide variation in seam thickness and contiguity issues with some seams exists. This makes the condition more adverse.
SECL:
Clean property i.e. without faults are not available or left in SECL command area.
The coal seams are of varying thickness and splintered in most of the mine.
Some opencast coal mines are available in Raigarh area in which UG mining with longwall can be operated after 10 years after completion of opencast workings.
However, successful implementation of paste backfilling method will reduce the quantum of land required for depillaring.
MCL:
1. Talcher UG, Orient Mine no.03 and Orient Mine no.04 are proposed on Revenue Sharing basis through MDO. It is expected that method of work, mine capacity & technology
will be offered by MDO.
2. Talcher (W) UG and Jagannath UG were withdrawn in MCL Board on 19.11.2021. RPR is under preparation at CMPDIL, RI-IV for MDO mode with enhanced capacity up to 1.5
MTY.
3. CMPDI has proposed that Nandira UG, Orient Mine No.1 & 2 and HBI shall also be given for Revenue Sharing basis through MDO as these mines are making huge losses. As
there is IR issue involved, HBI can be planned for HoE after incorporating property below Samleswari OCP workings and at a latter stage Mine No.1 &2 can be planned for
MDO on revenue sharing basis.
4. Extractable reserve in Nandira colliery is very less i.e 4.27 Mt (on pillars), so it will continue in existing departmental mode.
Total 54.91
However, during the 2nd DTs Coordination Meeting held on 10.10.2022 with all subsidiaries, it was agreed that the target should not be less than 100
Mt by the year 2027-28 and all subsidiaries need to revisit their plan with an aggressive approach.
The committee, during the meetings with subsidiaries, have discussed in details the different ways and means for successful implementation of UG
Vision Plan of CIL and came out with the identification of following major activities:
• Possibility of identification of big UG mines (Cap.>2 Mty), preferably LW, wherever possible below the OC workings in the lower seams, having 2
Mt and above thickness, considering technical viability only without considering the financial viability.
• Identification of mines for scientific study to determine where there would be no subsidence during depillaring with caving.
• Block plans of all subsidiaries be studied for planning purpose.
• As billions of tonnes of coal in ECL and BCCL are standing on pillars, it is important that focus should be on adoption of technologies like Paste
Fill, sand stowing, bottom ash stowing etc. keeping the technological viability in view.
• For unviable mines alternative options on a case to case basis may be explored keeping manpower cost as sunk cost.
• Considering high CPT of UG mines, options for composite pricing/cost plus model/ total auction regime may be explored.

1 Ghonsa Wani North 0.85 - - 0.35 0.5 - - Ghonsa OC is operating mine. As per CSIRO Report this mine is in
good condition for HW mining.
HW mining is expected to be commissioned by 2024-25 & after
exhaustion of HW reserves i.e. 0.85 MT HW mining equipment
may be considered for shifting to Penganga OC.
As production from Penganga OC is planned from 2026-27, to
maintain continuity in HW production and to avoid any idling of
HW machine, HW production from Ghonsa OC is planned from
2024-25.
2 Penganga Wani 2.05 - - - - 0.5 0.5 CSIRO in its Feasibility Assessment stated that Penganga OC is
not suitable for HighWall mining at current HW section.
Condition of the roof is poor to fair having loosely sandy material
like soil with no cohesive strength. Seam is at high depth up to
160 meter. A major fault exist which cuts the Highwall patch at
an acute angle to less than 30 degree where the coal seam is
disappears.
Low wall stability during rainy season.
However there is possibility for HW mining in future.
As such Considering the present situation HW mining may be
dropped for now.
Later on it will be considered after exhaustion of HW reserves at
Ghonsa OC.
3 Pimpalgaon Wani North 2.1 CSIRO has not inspected the mine.
At present Pimpalgaon OC mine is operating through a scheme
which may last up to 2026-27.
Review of PR/Scheme is being explored including barrier coal
and dip side property
up to a depth of 250 m. Hence Highwall Mining may not be
considered.

4 Gondegaon Nagpur 1.12 As per CSIRO report at Gondegaon OC, out of 2 patches smaller one is ready to go. Coal reserve in this patch is
approximately 0.5 MT only, including all 5 seams. However parting between lower seam & topmost seam is around
80 m which needs to be back filled on phase-wise. As such it may not be feasible & economical. Out of a total of 1.12
MT of which availability is considered for Highwall mining, 0.5 MT is a smaller patch. The remaining will be available
in a major patch which is approximately 0.75 MT. Further the width of the barrier which is available for Highwall
mining is approximately 60 meter only that too beside Kanhan river. In addition to the above constraint seams are at
steep gradient i.e. 1 in 4.5. In such scenario it may not be feasible for Highwall mining.
5 Padmapur Chandrapur 2.1 CSIRO in its Feasibility Assessment stated that condition is poor to fair. As per CSIRO report low recovery rate is
expected.
Due to depth of more than 180 meter high stress is expected. Due to bad roof conditions i.e. shale parting and
immediate shale roof, there is always a possibility for roof falls. The excavated area of the mine is filled with water
to a level of 15 meter above the seam. CSIRO in the report express their concern for possibility of water inrush also.
In addition to the above constraint seam is at steep gradient i.e. 1 in 5. There are 2 major faults cutting the middle
section of the Highwall patch. Further to above there is an involvement of forest land which is also a buffer zone. In
such scenario it may not be feasible for Highwall mining.
6 Dinesh Production after 2027-28
(MKD-III) Umrer 9 Barrier reserves between Makardhokra-III & Makardhokra-IV Block can be extracted by Highwall Miner Technology
from Makardhokra-III OC. This area is not exposed currently. The coal to be extracted through Highwall Miner will
be exposed after 8 to 10 years as the existing Makardhokra-III OC will be expanded in western side. No additional
land acquisition is required.
Total - - 0.35 0.5 0.5 0.5
Note: In addition to above identified mines, CMPDI, RI-IV was requested vide letter No. 268 dated 02.12.2022 to explore the possibility for Highwall Mining at Gokul OC,
Makardhokra-I OC, Bhanegaon OC & Singhori OC.

TALCHER AREA
1. Nandira Colliery
• Location- Talcher Area, Talcher Coalfield
• Mineable Reserve -4.27 MT
• Name of Coal Seam- Seam I is worked in 2 sections-Seam I (top), Seam I(bottom)
• Method of working- Bord & Pillar Extraction
• Grade of Coal- G-8
• Present Status- Running departmentally
• Brief of workings- Seam I is worked in two sections- Seam I (top) and Seam I (bottom). Top section consist of 32 panels and bottom setion has 10 panels. No more

• Incline drivage work discontinued since 22.05.2013 due to stoppage of work by the contractor (M/S Apex Encon Projects Pvt. Ltd.). Incline no.1 was driven upto 127m
out of total length of 525m and Incline No. 2 was driven up to 111m out of 440m. Location of the inclines are beside siding 5&6 near Ananta SILO.
• Approval of Model RFQ documents for Development and operation of Talcher (West) UG mine through MDO was given in 155th meeting of Board of Directors of MCL
held on 05.02.2014.
• Subsequently, Talcher (West) UG was identified by CIL for operating through MDO mode and for customization of this project in MDO mode, CMPDI was asked to take
the work on priority basis.
• The proposal for withdrawal of Talcher West , Jagannath and Natraj UG was put in 660th FDs meeting of MCL dated 10.11.2021.
• FD’s recommended the proposal for placing before MCL Board. Subsequently, the agenda for withdrawal of UG Projects was put up in 241st MCL Board meeting and
approved.
• As directed in 153rd CMDs meet held on 23rd July 2022, MCL had to submit a UG Vision Plan.
• A committeee was constituted to explore the possibility of the planning of UG Mines on Risk Sharing/MDO Mode.
• A team from CMPDI visited MCL on 02.08.2022 for discussion on engaging UG Mines of MCL on Revenue Sharing /MDO Mode.
• Tender for incline drivage was cancelled for number of times due to non-participation of vendors.
• As per PR, there is dense forest land around the proposed incline mouth. Further, General Manager, Talcher Area communicated vide letter no. 495 dtd 26.05.2020
that the proposed Incline Area falls under the Dera Reserve Forest, which is not acquired by MCL.
• The proposal for withdrawal of Talcher West , Jagannath and Natraj UG was put in 660th FDs meeting of MCL dated 10.11.2021.
• FD’s recommended the proposal for placing before MCL Board. Subsequently, the agenda for withdrawal of UG Projects was put up in 241st MCL Board meeting and

• A committeee was constituted to explore the possibility of the planning of UG Mines on Risk Sharing/MDO Mode.
• A team from CMPDI visited MCL on 02.08.2022 for discussion on engaging UG Mines of MCL on Revenue Sharing /MDO Mode.
• Talcher(W) UG and Jagannath UG are to be planned for operation through MDO mode with enhanced capacity upto 1.5 MTY based on the model document under
preparation at CMPDI. Approval is being sought from competent authority for revival of these projects and for preparation of RPR as these projects have been
dropped in 241st MCL Board meeting held on 19.11.2021 .
• CMPDI has proposed that Nandira UG, Orient Mine No.1 & 2 and HBI shall also be given for Revenue Sharing basis through MDO as these mines are making huge
losses. As there is IR issue involved, HBI can be planned for HoE after incorporating property below Samleswari OCP workings and at a later stage Mine No.1 &2 can
be planned for MDO on revenue sharing basis.
• Extractable reserve in Nandira colliery is very less i.e 4.27 Mt (on pillars), so it will continue in existing departmental mode.

OBSERVATIONS:
ECL has proposed about 7 Mt less than the projections envisaged during 2027-28.
ECL needs to identify atleast 3 more HW mines immediately for implementation beyond 2023-24. 2 of the identified mines i.e. Rajpura &
Narayankuri shall exhaust by 2026-27.
ECL has the proposed technology wise break up of approximate projections by 2027-28 as follows:
• Operational CM (8 Nos.):Cap.- 3.6 Mty
• Operational LW (1 No): Cap.-1.7 Mty
• Proposed HW (4 Nos.): Cap.- 1.4 Mty
• Approved CM PRs (19 Nos): Cap.-8.28 Mty
• To be approved CM PRs (22 Nos): Cap.- 4.52 Mty
• Operational mines with Intermediate Technology: Cap.-3 Mty
• Revenue Sharing Mines (5 Nos.): Cap.-3.1 Mty
• CM with PFT (7 Nos.): Cap.-2.1 Mty
Hence, a projection of 27.7 Mty is likely by 2027-28
