DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP FOR COAL MAY WIDEN IN 10TH PLAN
Article Abstract:
The demand-supply gap for coal is expected to increase steeply during the Tenth Plan period compared to the Ninth Plan period. This gap will be marginally reduced once the captive mining sector starts producing around 35 million tonnes by 2006-07 AD. In the Ninth plan period (1997-2002), captive mining plants are expected to supply around 13 million tonnes of coal. Coal availability during the Ninth Plan period is estimated at 357.60 million tonnes against the estimated demand of 412.20 million tonnes. During the Tenth Plan period, coal availability is estimated at 418 million tonnes against the estimated demand of 653 million. (gsh)

ABOLISH THIS ACT
Article Abstract:
Coal mining and trade has to come out of the purview of inefficient state monopoly in order to meet Indian economy's increasing demand for energy. The ministry of coal has tried to revise downward the estimates on coal demand made by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has estimated the demand supply gap for coal at 52.65 million tonnes 2001-02 and 221.40 million tonnes by 2006-07. The coal ministry says that the demand supply gap will be 115 million tonnes by 2006-07 and 136 million tonnes by 2011-12. Coal can only be exploited efficiently if the Coal Mines Nationalisation Act is abolished. (khr)
