You might be
aware that since beginning of 2011-12 we had chalked out a firm
programme for achieving the target for this fiscal. The prime
inputs are Rapid Mechanisation of all the manual underground mines by
introduction of Mass Production technology, Conversion of manual
district into fully mechanised SDL/LHD districts. We have ordered
113 SDLs, out of which more than 40 SDLs have already been received and
are at different stages of commissioning. The introduction of Roof
Bolting machine is also in its final stage. These steps will not
only enhance production and productivity of underground mines, but will
also improve the safety standard of our underground mines to a great
extent.

So
far as Mass Production technology is concerned, we are
already operating two Continuous Miners – one each at
Jhanjra and Sarpi. The work order for the 2nd Continuous Miner
and
Powered Support Longwall at Jhanjra has already been issued.
To augment the opencast production, expansion of different OCPs
– both in Rajmahal and Raniganj field is in progress. One of the
significant achievements is in principle approval of forestry clearance
of Hura ‘C’ project and Stage I forestry clearance for Chitra OC. This
will definitely help in augmenting coal production from
Opencast. We
have already started number of small hired OC patches which will not
only add to the production of the Company, but will also help in
curbing illegal mining to a great extent.

As
a result of above actions, the
Company has registered a
positive growth during the first quarter of the financial year and has
earned a profit of Rs.152 Cr for the first time in the history of the
Company. I believe that it is the beginning of transformation of
a
sick company into a highly profit making company in future. I
strongly
believe that with the coordination & active participation of all
the stakeholders we shall be able to achieve the goal of bringing out
this Company from BIFR very soon.
ECL is not only dedicated about increasing production by following
safety measures, it is also vigilant about the CSR activities for its
employees and people of this industrial belt through organized medical
check up, supplying potable water, construction of roads, providing
educational facilities and all round development of the community at
large. Efforts of State/District Administration is appreciated for the
cause of curbing illegal mining and theft of coal.
