8.8.2 Allocated Quantity for the year on the basis of Scheduled Production of coking coal
8.8.2(a) The Successful Bidder shall be entitled to the Allocated Quantity for the year post
adjustment of the Scheduled Production of coking coal (year-on-year) submitted
by such Successful Bidder as part of Annexure XXI Self-Certificate for
Captive Coal Mine(“Adjustment”). The adjustment with respect to the year-on-
year Scheduled Production of coking coal shall be source-specific and on the basis
37
RFP for Sudamdih Washery Monetization

of the annual coal requirement of the Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast Furnace
Unit(s)) met through the Scheduled Production of coking coal for the year. There
are multiple sources from which Coal is proposed to be supplied, which are
placed at Annexure XVII Details of Coal Linkage. The Allocated Quantity for
each year from a particular source under the RFP shall be computed in accordance
with the following formula:
Allocated Quantity for the year from a particular source” =Adjustment Factor
x Coal Requirement for the year in TPA

Wherein,

Adjustment Factor = Coal requirement of Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast

Furnace Unit(s)) of the Bidder met from a particular source in TPA divided by
1,600,000 (one million and six hundred thousand) Tonnes

Coal Requirement for the year =

Normative Coal Requirement of the Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast Furnace
Unit(s)) of the Bidder as considered in the RFP in TPA + coal requirement of the
Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast Furnace Unit(s)) of the Bidder corresponding to
the minimum of the Scheduled Production of coking coal as considered in the
RFP in TPA – coking coal requirement of the Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast
Furnace Unit(s)) of the Bidder corresponding to the Scheduled Production of
coking coal for the year in TPA.

8.8.2(b) Adjustment in the Allocated Quantity for the year shall be carried out in case the
Coal Requirement for the year as computed above is less than 1,600,000 (one
million and six hundred thousand) tonnes in Washery Grade V. In the event the
Coal Requirement of the Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast Furnace Unit(s)) of the
Bidder for the Year, as computed above, is more than 1,600,000 (one million and
six hundred thousand) million tonnes, there shall be no adjustment in the
Allocated Quantity.
8.8.2(c) In the event the Coal requirement of the Specified End Use Plant(s) (Blast Furnace
Unit(s)) of the Bidder for the Year, as computed above, is less than or equal to
zero, then Annual Contracted Quantity for that year shall be zero. In the event, the
Coal Requirement as computed above, for each year during the Term of the
Agreement is less than or equal to zero, then the Fuel Supply Agreement shall be
terminated.
Illustration:

Assuming the Normative Coal Requirement of the Bidder corresponding to its

Specified End Use Plant (Blast Furnace Unit(s)) of the Bidder is 3,000,000 (three
million) TPA W-V grade and the Bidder had a captive coal mine of W-V grade with
minimum production of 400,000 (four hundred thousand) TPA, if the Scheduled
Production of coking coal for a particular year is 1,000,000 (one million) tonnes,
the Coal Requirement for the year shall be 2,400,000 (two million and four hundred
thousand) TPA (3,000,000 + 400,000 – 1,000,000).

Assuming the total quantity booked by the Bidder in the auction is 1,600,000 (one

38
RFP for Sudamdih Washery Monetization

million and six hundred thousand) tonnes, there shall be no adjustment in the
quantity allocated to the Bidder (since the Coal Requirement for the year of
2,400,000 (two million and four hundred thousand) TPA is more than total coal
requirement booked for the Specified End Use Plant during the auction).

In case the coal requirement of the Bidder for a particular year after adjustment
to the production of coking coal from the captive coal mine for that year is
1,400,000 (one million and four hundred thousand) TPA instead of 2,400,000 (two
million and four hundred thousand) TPA, then there will be adjustment in the
Allocated Quantity of the Year and the quantity allocated to the Bidder shall be
revised from 1,600,000 (one million and six hundred thousand) to 1,400,000 (one
million and four hundred thousand) tonnes.

8.8.2(d) In the event the mine opening permission is received subsequent to completion of
the Bidding Process, the Allocated Quantity for the remaining period of the Fuel
Supply Agreement shall be computed in the manner prescribed above, based on
the Scheduled Production of coking coal submitted by the Successful Bidder to
BCCL, as per format at Annexure XXI Self-Certificate for Captive Coal Mine
immediately on receipt of such information from the Successful Bidder. An
amendment to the Fuel Supply Agreement shall be executed between the
Successful Bidder and BCCL to this effect.
8.8.2(e) Provided however, in accordance with Clause 8.7.5 in the event the Bidder who
has been allocated captive coal mine(s) for its Specified End Use Plant(s), does
not submit a self-certificate as specified in Clause 8.7.1 and/or doesn’t provide
the production schedule for coking coal as stated in Annexure XXI Self-
Certificate for Captive Coal Mine of this RFP, then there shall be no adjustment
to the Allocated Quantity in accordance with this Clause 8.8.2.
Illustration:
Assuming that the Specified End Use Plant of the Bidder is a 2,740 (two thousand
seven hundred and forty) tonnes per Day of hot metal (“TPD”) blast furnace unit
and that the Bidder has an existing fuel supply agreement with an annual
contracted quantity of 500,000 (five hundred thousand) TPA in W- V grade and a
mine of W-V grade of coal has been allocated for captive consumption to the
Specified End Use Plant Unit, and mine opening permission has been granted by
CCO on 1 February 2024, then:
