2. ENERGY SCENARIO - AN OVERVIEW
In the energy scenario world over there is an overall trend to shift away from fossil fuels
Share of renewable energy is expected to grow at a fast pace
India is also shifting its focus away from fossil fuels based power generation towards solar and other renewables
Share of coal is 55 % in the commercial energy supply in India, but is likely to reduce to 48 % or even less by 2040.
In India, growth of renewables is limited by the capacity-potentials and storage constraints

4. COAL DEMAND SCENARIO
In a draft study done recently by KPMG, the following three demand scenarios have been considered:
Scenario-1: Base case demand scenario
[Overall coal demand estimated to be around 964 Mt by FY 2020 at a CAGR of 4% from current level, and to reach to around 1.46 Bt by FY 2030 at a CAGR of 4.2% from FY 2020]
Scenario-2: High energy efficiency and high renewable
[Overall coal demand estimated to be around 923 Mt by FY 2020 at a CAGR of 2.5% from current level, and to reach to around 1.3 Bt by FY 2030 at a CAGR of 3.5% from FY 2020]
Scenario-3: High demand scenario
[Overall coal demand estimated to be around 1.0 Bt by FY 2020 at a CAGR of 5.8% from current level, and to reach to around 1.9 Bt by FY 2030 at a CAGR of 6.5% from FY 2020]

5. Status of Coal Exploration in India
Coal basins in India
There are 63 major coal basins (45 in Gondwana Formation and 18 in Tertiary Formation) as per National Coal Inventory by GSI.
Major Gondwana basins are spread in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, W. Bengal, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh & Telangana states.
Tertiary coal deposits are found in the North Eastern States of Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland

6. Present Status of Exploration in India

An ambitious time-bound Programme for Coal exploration has been envisaged for India
About 3280 Sq.Km area is to be covered under Regional Exploration in next 3 years
About 6170 Sq.Km area is to be explored in detail in next five years
The entire area to be covered by surface geophysical surveys followed by exploratory drilling and preparation of Geological Reports
Global Bidding will be floated to carry out the job beyond departmental capacity

7. Capacity of CMPDI for Detailed Exploration
CMPDI carries out Detailed Exploration through its own resources as well as through contractual agencies
CMPDI had an ambitious capacity enhancement program for detailed exploration in terms of Plant & Machinery, Human Resource and skill development.
The Departmental Capacity of exploration enhanced to 4.41lakh m of drilling achieved during against 2.73 lakh m achieved during

9. EXPLORATION
CMPDI has enhanced its in-house capacity by adoption of modern technology in coal exploration to increase drilling productivity
By deploying High Tech Hydrostatic Drilling Rigs,
Use of polycrystalline diamond core bits (PCD Bit) of specific design
Use of 4.5 meter core barrels instead of standard size of 3 meter core barrels to achieve higher productivity
Selection of suitable drilling fluids mixed with desired chemicals for borehole stability
Introduction of casing advancer for very loose strata/overburden drilling, in-seam drilling, directional drilling etc

10. EXPLORATION
Multi parametric geophysical borehole Logging is being used routinely in non-coring boreholes
Ground Probing Radar (GPR) : is an electromagnetic method for shallow high resolution subsurface investigations survey used for locating water logged mine workings, barrier pillars, buried pipes, soil overburden etc.
2D/3D Seismic Survey: is being used for comprehensive mapping of subsurface features
Tomography: Another geophysical technique being planned to introduce in coming years for sub-surface mapping.

Increasing the capacity of Katni-Chopan rly line.
Construction of road network to connect the blocks with Singrauli, Katni, etc.
Construction of OHT power lines and Substations for the blocks. 25

26. CONCLUSION The constraints can be summed up as:
Delay in forestry clearance and law and order problem during exploration
Delays in environmental and forestry clearances
Lack of rail networks in green-field areas for coal evacuation
Problems in land acquisition and village rehabilitation & increasing land-prices
Heavily-built up surface areas needing substantial R&R
Shortage of space for overburden dumping
Economic viability of projects due to increase in land prices, specially UG projects
Involvement of diversion of roads and river/nalas, etc

27. CONCLUSION
With its vast expanse and expertise, CIL is expected to meet a major share of the future coal demand
Much of the production planning and time-bound action plans are already in place
Opening and bringing coal projects to target production level entails overcoming the constraints being faced by the coal industry, especially land acquisition
Active guidance and help will be needed from all stakeholders in overcoming the constraints in time
Under the dynamic leadership provided by Hon’ble Minister of Coal, CIL is optimistic about meeting the expectations of the stakeholders and the country.

32. ENERGY SCENARIO - AN OVERVIEW
The Indian energy sector is gearing up for major transformation in the coming years.
Considering:
the limited reserve potentiality of petroleum & natural gas
eco-conservation restrictions of large hydroelectric projects
geo-political perception of nuclear power and
limitations of capacity and storage of solar power
coal is likely to continue occupying center-stage of Indian energy scenario till about 2040.

33. ENERGY SCENARIO - AN OVERVIEW
Ensuring adequate availability of coal and minimum possible import of coal depends largely upon:
efficient exploration, supported by
focused planning of coal mining projects and
effective management of constraints in opening and operating the coal mining projects.
These, however, need to be aligned with the likely demand for coal for thermal power generation.
