Coal India Ltd (CIL), the world’s largest producer of coal, is set to register an average annual growth rate of 4.3 per cent during the current Five-Year Plan period, which ends in March 2012. This would be the second-lowest growth rate in the last seven plan periods since the beginning of the Fifth Plan in 1974. The lowest production growth was registered in the ninth Plan when an unprecedented slowdown in industrial growth had pulled down the demand for coal.
Coal India’s production grew 5.1 per cent to 379.4 million tonne (mt) in 2007-08, the first year of the current plan period. The output grew by 6.4 per cent to 403.7 mt in the second year and 6.8 per cent to 431.3 mt in the following year. Production remained flat in the fourth year (2010-11). For the current financial year, CIL has projected a production growth rate of 3.6 per cent to 447 mt, taking the projected average annual growth rate during the five-year period to 4.3 per cent. The concerns on coal shortages and the impact on power production have led the government to call a high-level meeting on 6th July 2011to take stock of the deteriorating fuel supply situation. crackcrack
