GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION OF CAPTIVE BLOCKS

1

Blocks already identified for development by CIL where adequate funding is on hand or in sight should not be offered to the private sector.

2

The blocks offered to private sector should be at a reasonable distance from existing mines and projects of CIL in order to avoid operational problems.

3

The areas where CIL has invested in creating infrastructure for opening new mines should not be  handed over to the private sector, except on reimbursement of costs.

4

Blocks that are explored in detail and where Geological Report with assessment of extractable reserves is available should normally be put in the offer list. Public/private sector shall bear full cost of exploration in blocks which may be offered for captive mining.

5

For identifying blocks,the requirement of coal for about 30 years or such other period as may be decided  in the Ministry,would be considered.
