IEP Estimate of Energy Demand Assumed GDP Growth rate = 8% per year. Elasticity reducing slightly over time in case of both TPES and Electricity TPES - Total Primary Commercial Energy Supply. Mtoe - Million tonne oil equivalent. B.kWh - Billion units of electricity.
Coal Demand estimate by IEP (Plan-wise scenario)
Coal Production – Achieved/Required Rates of Growth Let us assume that growth rate increases by 1% over the past trend and is 6.3% Production in 2031-32 could be = 2293 MT.
Measures proposed in Expert Committee on Coal Reforms • Delineate the coal reserves situation in India on the basis of international standards UNFC standards. • Allow private industry to enter into exploration-cum-mining lease on the lines of NELP in oil industry. • Liberalize captive mining procedures and release all areas with CIL which are not covered in their production plans up to 12th plan. • Create a Coal Regulatory Authority.
Measures proposed in Expert Committee on Coal Reforms (Contd.) • Dual pricing in coal sector. For industries which ensure large quantities of coal and need special infrastructure arrangements and whose end-products prices are regulated, a cost plus basis pricing to be determined by the Coal Regulator: The price of coal to other industries to be market determined through at auction. • 6. FSTA arrangements to be introduced.
Measures proposed in Expert Committee on Coal Reforms (Contd.) • 7. Encourage coal exports and imports simultaneously each year. • Preference in future power plant locations – for pit head and port locations. • Undertake immediately measures to introduce and use extensively clean coal technology. • Restructuring the coal industry and legal structures governing coal industry.
