NTPC TO DELVE INTO CONTRACT MINING - ECONOMICTIMES


NTPC, India’s largest power producer, plans to cash in on its decades-old experience in handling coal mines by spinning off a separate  unit that will offer consultancy and mining services to companies which have been allotted captive mines.

The public sector firm is in talks with BEML (formerly Bharat Earth Movers), another public sector undertaking, to form a joint venture to offer the services.

The government has so far allocated 198 captive coal blocks with estimated reserves of over 42 billion tonnes to various public and private sector companies. NTPC and BEML is planning to exploit this opportunity as most of these companies have no experience in coal mining.

“BEML has proposed a 50:50 joint venture with NTPC for starting contract coal mining operations. The company is examining the proposal and will finalise it after taking approval of its board,” said an official in the power ministry, who asked not to be named.

NTPC and BEML had signed a MoU in February 2007 for a long-term strategic and business partnership under which BEML provides its range of mining equipment, spares and services for NTPC’s coal mining operations. The proposed joint venture will take this relationship forward by creating a new entity engaged in contract coal mining.

BEML has moved ahead from being an equipment manufacturer and has forayed into contract mining business as part of its forward integration programme. In fact, it has associated with Indonesian Coal company Sumber Mitra Jaya (SMJ) as a business partner for contract mining.

Earlier, in a letter to NTPC chairman RS Sharma, BEML chairman and managing director VRS Natarajan has emphasised the need of the joint venture either in 51:49 ratio or 50:50 ratio to tide over an existing coal shortage. He also suggested that the new venture could look at contract mining of coal blocks allocated to NTPC apart from other entities and also apply for new coal blocks.

Of the 198 captive coal blocks allocated by the government so far, 22 have gone to Central government undertakings, 78 to state government undertakings and another 98 to private sector companies. All these would provide business opportunity for the proposed venture. It would also help to check imports of coal that has reached around 50 million tonne annually. NTPC alone plans to import 12.5 million tonne coal in 2009-10.
