Singareni CMD Directs Agencies to Match Overburden Removal with Coal Production Targets

Hyderabad, Nov 14 (UNI) Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Buddhaprakash Jyoti on Saturday directed overburden removal agencies to ensure that excavation keeps pace with coal production targets, warning that negligence in meeting the targets would not be tolerated.
Reviewing coal production, overburden removal and transportation at opencast mines in the Kothagudem Region through a video conference from Singareni Bhavan here, he stressed the need for adequate machinery and manpower to achieve the prescribed targets.
He said Singareni would have to supply 75,000 tonnes of coal daily to Telangana GENCO thermal power stations in view of El Niño conditions, besides meeting commitments to other power stations with which it has fuel supply agreements.
The CMD said the company needed to remove 14.15 lakh cubic metres of overburden every day across all its areas, of which 5.5 lakh cubic metres should come from the four areas of the Kothagudem Region, comprising Kothagudem, Sathupalli, Manuguru and Yellandu.
He pointed out that coal production from lower seams would be possible only if overburden was removed in accordance with daily targets.
Agencies facing difficulties were asked to bring them to the notice of concerned authorities for early resolution, he said.
Reviewing area-wise performance, he fixed a daily coal production target of 8,000 tonnes and overburden removal of 55,000 cubic metres for Kothagudem Area. For Sathupalli, the targets were 50,000 tonnes of coal and 2.4 lakh cubic metres of overburden removal.
In Manuguru, he set a daily coal production target of 40,000 tonnes and directed officials to remove 2.25 lakh cubic metres of overburden while Yellandu was assigned a target of 5,000 tonnes of coal production and 10,000 cubic metres of overburden removal per day.
He also stressed safe coal production and quality transportation, particularly in Yellandu Area.
The CMD reviewed mines whose contract periods would expire in the coming months and directed officials to prepare proposals for fresh contracts without delay and secure the necessary approvals.
Directors L.V. Suryanarayana, K. Venkateswarlu, Gowtham Potru and Tirumala Rao, Executive Director B. Venkanna, General Managers and officials from the four areas, corporate office officials and overburden contractors attended the review.
