In the month of May’09 ECL could  achieve 22.64 L.Tes against a target of 23.58 L.Tes. The main reason for shortfall in coal production was due to cyclone Aila from afternoon of 25.5.09 to morning of 26.5.09 accompanied by  high velocity wind and continuous heavy rainfall.  Due to this coal production particularly in opencast projects of all the operating areas including Rajmahal and SP Mines  was severely affected and most of the hired OC patches got waterlogged, production from which could not be normalized till now.

Production from underground mines also suffered due to disruption of power supply to many mines for long duration as due to cyclone Aila trees/electric poles were uprooted and overhead lines snapped atmany ny places.  Normal power supply was restored after 2/3 days.

Stock Liquidation:
Coal stock has been reduced from 2.52 MT (computed based on audited stock as on 1.4.08) as on 1.4.09 to 1.92 MT as on 31.5.09. Coal stock at Raniganj Coalfield reduced by about 0.26 MT and same at  Rajmahal reduced by about 0.24 MT

Profitability
During May’09, company made a loss of Rs. 49.12 crore against a loss of Rs. 2.69 crore during May’08. The Loss during April to May’09 was Rs. 73.97 crore against a loss of Rs. 38.38 crore during April to May’08.

Forestry clearance:
As advised by Dy. Conservator of Forest, Eastern Regional Office, Bhubaneswar, a presentation on Hurra ‘C’ project was made by ECL on 30.4.09 at Bhubaneswar. Further a team from Regional Office, Eastern Region, MOEF, Bhubaneswar inspected the site from 19.5.09 to 21.5.09. The application for clearance is expected to be forwarded to MOEF, New Delhi shortly.

Introduction of Continuous Miner at Sarpi UG mine:
For augmentation of UG production a contract has been signed with Joy Mining Machinery of UK for introduction of Continuous Miner at Sarpi UG mine. The equipment is expected to be delivered in October 2009. Equipment is scheduled to be commissioned in Dec 2009.
