Bharatbook.com has this special report, which sources information of the Indian coal industry faces shortage of supply akin to the gas industry a decade ago. As per Infraline’s estimates, the domestic shortage of coal would be around 300 MT by the end of the XII Five-Year Plan. This demand-supply mismatch is likely to widen drastically over the medium to long-term. As a result of this scenario, many Indian companies are scouting, and some have succeeded in acquiring global coal assets. While such coal imports would address the supply needs, it would still face the risks associated with prices, country’s politics, economy and associated infrastructure. Even the recent proposal on pooled-pricing of coal to leverage the costlier foreign coal is not an appropriate solution, as it is likely to add huge national cost and discourage domestic mining. The bottom line is that the productivity of domestic mining companies is abysmally poor when compared globally. What India needs is reforms in opening the coal mining sector to private participation. The MMDR Amendment Act, 2010 in the last fi scal paved the way for introducing competition in coal mining. The Ministry of Coal (MoC) recently issued the draft guidelines for allocation of captive coal blocks on competitive basis. Against the earlier preference- based practice, the new blocks will be offered with reserve price tags set by MoC on the basis of the assessed resourcefulness of the blocks. Moreover, the bidders whose end-useplants are in same State as the notifi ed block would be given a due weightage while evaluation. Successful bidders would have to explore, develop, operate, and close the mines, which would create huge business opportunities for other players in the mining industry. New entrants without deep pockets for acquiring global coal could now opt for domestic captive blocks in order to minimise their costs and risks. InfralineEnergy through its second annual edition of “CAPTIVE COAL BLOCKS IN INDIA – 2011” investigates the captive coal space in a 360 degree perspective. The preliminary sections are contemplated to showcase the ground realities of the industry supported by updated facts and fi gures. Statistical models are used to forecast the demand for coal under various scenarios, assess the supply position from declared production and planned imports so as to deduce the precise demand that captive coal can address. Such demand sizing is indispensable for macrolevel business decisions and is the only thing investors would ever need. Based on recent block-wise status and developments, the further sections will trace the trends set by the allocation done so far. Though of different nature and varying quantum, captive coal similar to imported coal, faces certain unquantifi able risks demanding premium-returns unless assessed and mitigated in time. In addition to the comprehensive block-wise details and trends on so far allocation, the report will bring out the primary-research outputs on end-use projects, de-allocated blocks, distressed blocks and blocks in line for future allocation. Over and above, the exclusive issue map on uncertainties and challenges, impact analysis of the proposed competitive bidding mechanism, industry opinions, comparative analysis of different sourcing options and economics of Captive Mining will altogether set an innovative path fi nding guide to all stakeholders Industry-fi rst analysis on * Ground realities on extractable reserves, actual productivity and effi ciency setbacks * Captive coal demand sizing through scenario based outlook on aggregate demand and supply position by FY20 * Recent trends in block allocation and production * Impact analysis of the proposed competitive reserve-price tag mechanism (MMDR Act, 2010) * Key issues and challenges from the perspective of owners, lenders and developers * Comparative analysis on different sourcing options viz Captive, Imported and Linkage Coal * Estimated investments in captive coal segment * Qualitative analysis on associated risks and mitigating measures * Business case analysis – capital cost of coal mining projects and contracting arrangements * Mapping business opportunities for stakeholders in the value-chain * Feasibility of the emerging business models like trading surplus coal, merchant mining etc. Comprehensive Data Points on * Details of the blocks allocated so far * List of de-allocated blocks with reasons * Recent status of end-use-projects * Details of the blocks in Captive Mine list * List of blocks identifi ed for future allocation Key Questions Answered * What is the key rationale behind the supply shortfall in domestic coal industry? * Will CIL’s CLTO Import Model sustain in long run?
