24 CIL projects delayed in absence of clearance

17 Dec 2013

December 17: As many as 24 expansion and new projects of Coal India Ltd (CIL), entailing a total production capacity of around 180 million tons per annum (mtpa), have been delayed considerably due to various reasons, according to a compilation by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MSPI).

The ministry monitors the on-going central sector infrastructure projects, costing Rs 150 crore and above on time and cost overruns, after the projects are approved by the competent authority.

As on October 1, 2013, a total of 738 on-going central sector projects were on the monitor of the ministry and, of this, 301 were delayed as against their original date of commissioning, the data revealed.

Of the total 738 projects on the monitoring list of the ministry, as many as 52 are related to coal projects of CIL and the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL).

“As reported by the project implementing agencies, the main reasons for delay in implementation are law and order problems, delay in land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement problems, fund constraints, delay in forest and environment clearances, right of way/right of use issues, delay in supply of material, contractual issues, etc,” an official from the MSPI said.

Following are the details of the CIL’s expansion and new projects that have been delayed:
