History:

 

Subject was formed in April 1986 as a subsidiary company of Coal India Limited. Its headquarter is located at Singrauli, Distt. Sidhi (M.P.). Singrauli is connected by road with Varanasi (220 Km.) – a holy city on the banks of river Ganga, and Rewa (206 Km.) – the state of white tigers and Sidhi (100 Km.) – district headquarter town of Madhya Pradesh. The nearest railway station is Singrauli located on the Katni-Chopan branch line running parallel to the northern boundary of the Coalfield. The nearest railway station for reaching directly to Delhi and Kolkata is Renukoot that is located on the Garhwa-Chopan rail-line. Nearest (private) airstrip is at Muirpur (60 Km.).


The area of Singrauli Coalfields is about 2202 Sq.Km. The coalfield can be divided into two basins, viz. Moher sub-basin (312 Sq.Km.) and Singrauli Main basin (1890 Sq.Km.). Major part of the Moher sub-basin lies in the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh and a small part lies in the Sonebhadra district of Uttar Pradesh. Singrauli main basin lies in the western part of the coalfield and is largely unexplored. The present coal mining activities and future blocks are concentrated in Moher sub-basin.


The exploration carried out by GSI/NCDC/CMPDI has proved abundant resource of power grade coal in the area. This in conjunction with easy water resource from Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar makes this region an ideal location for high capacity pithead power plants. The coal supplies from NCL has made it possible to produce about 10515 MW of electricity from pithead power plants of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (UPRVUNL) and Renupower division of M/s. Hindalco Industries. The region is now called the "power capital of India". The ultimate capacity of power generation of these power plants is 13295 MW and company is fully prepared to meet the increased demand of coal for the purpose. In addition, NCL is also supplying coal to power plants of Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited, Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) and Hariyana State Electricity Board.


Company produces coal through mechanised opencast mines but its commitments towards environmental protection is total. It is one of very few companies engaged in mining activities, which has got ISO –14001 Certification for its environmental systems.


Company through its community development programmes, has significantly contributed towards improvement and development of the area. It is helping local tribal, non-tribal and project-affected persons in overall improvement of quality of their life through self-employments schemes, imparting education and providing health care.

 

Coal Production

 

Mining history in this region is very old. The first systematic mining, however, was started by NCDC in Jhingurda during early sixties. The master plan of the coalfield (Moher Basin) was prepared by P&D Division of NCDC in consultation with Soviet Experts. This envisaged construction of large mechanised opencast mines. The mining activities are going on as per the master plan provisions. Company, during successive years has not only achieved targets of production but also exceeded them.

 

During 2006-07 coal production was 52.16 million tonnes. In 2007-08, the revised target for coal production is fixed at 58.00 million tonnes. NCL has excellent record of capacity utilisation, which is around 86.24% in 2006-07. The productivity in terms OMS (Output per Man-shift) of NCL during 2006-07 was 10.97 tonnes, which has been the highest in CIL and during successive years it is increasing. It is planned to remove 186.00 Million CuM of overburden during 2007-08, out of which 142 Million CuM will be removed departmentally and rest (44 Million CuM) will be outsourced under Emergency Coal Production Plan.

 

Industrial Relations:

 

The industrial relations at company have been very congenial throughout the past successive years. Employees' representatives take active participation in operational matters, health & hygiene, welfare matters etc. through forums such as joint consultative committee, safety committee, welfare board, community development committee, sports control board, employee benevolent fund committee and core group. The participative style of management facilitates amicable settlement of disputes & grievances.
