ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11

additional revenue to the tune of Rs 613.40 crores during 2010-11, as a quantity of 59.59 Lakh

Tonnes of Coal was offered for sale under spot e-auction against which 58.16 Lakh Tonnes of

Coal was allocated and around 73% of increase over notified price was registered during 2010-11.

Sales Realisation from customers during 2010-11 has been the highest ever approximately

Rs 7314.00 crores, showing a growth of 4% against that of Rs 7027.44 crores during last

fiscal.

The total sales outstanding dues which was Rs 263.31 crores as on 01-04-2010 has de-

creased by 44.03% to the level of Rs 147.37 crores as on 31-03-2011. The reduction in out-

standing dues is mainly in respect of the major Power Houses.

Grade materialization increased to 92.38% during the year as against 89.24% last year. Ash

percentage of coal dispatched to MAHAGENCO and other State Electricity Boards is average

28.91% that is below 34% as stipulated by MOEF.

Productivity (Output per man shift) during the fiscal has been 2.65 tonnes as against the

target of 2.62 tonnes and last year’s 2.64 tonnes.

Financial Performance

During the year, WCL achieved the highest turnover of Rs 7073.44 crores registering an

increase of Rs 325.81 crores over last year’s Rs 6747.63 crores with a pre tax profit of Rs

1067.97 crores during the fiscal as against the last year’s Rs 931.03 crores. Net worth of the

company has risen from Rs 3099.86 crores to Rs 3236.58 crores as on 31-03-11. The Profit

after Tax has been Rs 538.30 crores. The Profit after Tax to Net worth a distinct measure

of return to share holders thus works out to 16.63% in 2010-11.

Your Directors have recommended a dividend payment of Rs 323.25crores @ 108.8% on the

Paid up Capital of the company i.e. 297.10 crores.

WCL has Contributed to the state exchequer during 2010-11 approx Rs 1036.26 crores by

way of royalty & Taxes thereby retaining its title of the highest corporate tax payer in Vidarbha

region.

Creation of Assets

Company has Invested Rs 239.74 crores during 2010-11 on development of new mines and

infrastructure entirely from internal resources. 64 new equipments (Heavy Earth Moving Ma-

chinery) including 2 shovels, 7 excavators, 18 dumpers and 25 dozers have been added under

HEMM fleet renewal initiative with an expenditure of Rs 121.58 crores. It is notable fact that we

have registered impressive record of being in Top Slot in machine utilization in whole of CIL.

As far as underground machineries are concerned, 9 universal drilling machines have been

added, where as 25 LHDs and 4 SDLs have been added as replacement against survey off for

fleet renewal. For optimum utilization of underground manpower, Man Riding System in 4 un-

derground mines i.e. Saoner-1, Shobhapur, Tawa-1 and Kumbharkhani is in advance stage of

installation.

WESTERN COALFIELDS LIMITED

Tenders for implementation of Mass Production Technology through continuous miners are

underway for Saoner -1 UG and Maori UG to add the existing production from this technology

at Kumbharkhani UG and Tandsi UG. Further four mines e.g. Dhankasa, Jamunia, Dhau North

and Tawa II are in the offing. Global bids have already been invited for Borda UG, Murpar UG,

Nand UG.

Project Affected People – Our Stake holders

We believe in symbiotic co-existence with project affected people, our most important stake-

holders, whereby there is marked improvement in their living standards. Extension of educa-

tion, medical facilities, electrification of villages through solar lamps/ lights and improvement in

road infrastructures are some of the indirect community benefits which we propose to extend

by spending Rs 23 crores per year in the schemes of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Rising expectations of Projects affected People towards higher compensation of land in view

of spate of development and urbanization of nearby areas, vis a vis our payouts limited by

provisions of extant land acquisition laws resulted in lower than required acquisition of land

during recent past. The issue is best articulated by the fact that only 16 projects, out of 33

numbers of ongoing projects/ schemes (04 UG and 29 OC) with a capacity of 32.115 MTY and

Capital outlay Rs.1397.14 crores, are contributing coal production, on account of constraints

due to land availability of 2546.00 ha. land under physical possession as against 7222.22 ha.

acquired & 9687.32 ha. required for on-going projects.

I feel happy to share with you that, through revision in CIL R&R Policy, we have enhanced

proactively the monetary compensation in lieu of employment during acquisition of land to the

limit of Rs 5 lakhs per acre, which has made a positive impact on the PAPs. With persever-

ance, we have made progress for acquisition of 2051 Hectares of land in 2010-11 whereas

there has been 25.44% increase in physical possession of land over last year. Of course, we

are committed to enhance payouts against land values beyond existing statutory provisions

once up-scaled by notification of concerned state government, as we believe in making PAPs

our partners in prosperity. We are looking forward to State Government of Maharashtra revis-

ing its stance on the land rates in mining areas in the line of States of Haryana or Chhattisgarh.

Environment Friendly Mining

We consider it our bounden duty to protect the fragile eco-system. For that we have reoriented

our operational plans at 10 major Opencast Units, which are incidentally accredited with ISO

14000 as well, to reclaim and restore the land in perfect cohesion with mining operations. The

assessment of progress of Green Mining is being done by Satellite imagery survey in real time.

I feel happy to share with you that as per the satellite survey reports 2010, we have reclaimed

46 sq km area that is 86% of 53 sq km of the total mined out area. After analyzing the Satellite

data of the year 2008 vs 2010, it has transpired that the plantation works, carried out on back

filled area, external overburden dumps as well as on plain land in all these mines of WCL, has

increased from17.18 sq.km to 25.35 sq. km. (an increase of 47.55%). The pursuit continues

further. That’s the Green Mining.

Clean Coal Technologies

With a view to expedite the clean coal initiatives, we have identified one underground coal

gasification block at Thesgora C, Pench Area. Coal gasification will be the technology of future

as it ensures clean gas ready for industrial use. One 5 million tonne washery in Wardha Valley

ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11

Coalfields is in offing. Other initiatives like enhancing energy efficiency measures e.g. Conser-

vation of POL, electricity in industrial and domestic use have also been undertaken.

Last but not the Least

The excellent performance of WCL has been the outcome of perfect mix of motivated employ-

ees, sound corporate governance and a team spirit with a commitment to achieve consistent

result, despite the adverse geo mining conditions. WCL has always remained on top among

CIL subsidiaries in utilisation of Heavy Earth Moving Equipment. WCL family proudly boasts of

Zero Industrial Unrest and high morale of its workforce.

We firmly believe that we will continue to maximize the returns of WCL’s key stake holders - its

shareholders, customers, employees and local populace.

With Best Wishes,

(D. C. Garg)

5. RESCUE :

5.1 MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS

5.1.1 GETTING ISO 9001:2008

CERTIFICATION :

During the year, your Company addedin its cap the prestigious ISO9001:2008 Certification when MinesRescue Station, Nagpur, the first Rescue Organization in India amongst allCoal and Metal Companies, obtained thiscertification.

5.2 Prompt Service in Emergency & Reopening

5.2.1 During 2010-11, Seven SpontaneousHeating, Ten Reopening operationsand one Life Saving have been dealt

successfully. The details are as under.

5.3 LIFE SAVING OF SHRI C.G.

KINHIKAR,ELECTRICIAN,UMRER

AREA :

5.3.1 In the early hours of 25th September,

2010 the Russian Dragline (15/90)at

Umrer Opencast mine was toppled due

to massive slide from the overburden

bench. The dragline toppled into the

sump trapping the operator and the elec-

trician inside. The operator was fatally

injured and the electrician Shri

C.J.Kinhikar was trapped waist down

within the mangled metal and mud

debris. The bench failure had also

breached theriver embankment and

water was fast rising in the sump threatening

to drown the trapped person. Racing

against time the rescue brigade from

Nagpur, using improvised tools rescued

the trapped person in time. The person

trapped inside the Dragline for a consid

erable period of time was rescued by

First-Aid trained rescue brigade and was

shifted to Area Hospital of Umrer Area.

Thus a precious life was saved.

5.4 COMPLETE RECOVERY OF NEW

MAJRI UG MINE :

Due to massive fire, the New Majri UG

mine was completely closed on

January’ 31st, 2010. Recovery works of

the mine was started in phased manner.

The mine was recovered completely

within a short period of fourteen months.

5.5 EXPANDING EXPERTISE TO CALIBRATE

GAS DETECTORS:

The importance of gas detectors in

mines needs no explanation. Though

maintenance and calibration of gas de

tectors are not in the ambit of our core

competence, two officers were trained

to calibrate Drager make and Oldham

make gas detectors.

This venture will result in considerable

positive financial impact as well as im

proving operation efficiency. The move

will have a direct yearly financial saving

of around 38 lakh rupees. Further the

acquired in-house expertise in these gas

detectors will increase the reliability as

well as availability of the detectors.

xvi) Note No. 13 (h) regarding excess levy of Surface Transportation

Charges.

xvii) Note No. 13 (i) regarding interest paid under Income Tax Act, 1961.

g) Further we report the following observations :

i) As stated in Note No. 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c) of Schedule – 19

‘Notes on Accounts,’ finalization of purchase consideration of

certain fixed assets is still pending, ‘Assets taken over on

Nationalization’ are not classified into proper sub-head within

fixed assets, fixed assets found in excess on physical verifi-

cation were accounted for at nominal value. These have

impact on reported figures of Gross Block of Fixed Assets,

Accumulated Depreciation and Reserves & Surplus and also

on the presentation of fixed assets. The impact however is

not ascertainable.

ii) As stated in Note No. 3 (c) of Schedule – 19 ‘Notes on

Accounts’ certain Lands acquired are accounted for on

payment basis only. The likely payment for the Lands in future,

if any, are not accounted for until paid (even though the liability

is accrued). This may result in understatement of Fixed As

sets and corresponding liability.

iii) During the year the company has made a change in accounting

policy of making provision for mine closure. This resulted in

additional provision of Rs.10442.41 lakhs for Mine closure

expenditure made on basis of Circular of Ministry of Coal dated

27.08.2009 and which was modified on 18.2.2011 for all

existing mines in operation.

iv) During the year the Company has changed its method of com-

puting, net realizable value (NRV) for valuing closing stock of

coal from notified price to weighted average of notified price

for power and other than power sector consumers. This has

resulted in additional impact on coal stock valuation during the

year of ‘.207.66 lakhs and corresponding increase in profit for

the year.

v) The Company has not adjusted / reconciled stale cheques

amounting of Rs.1841.25 lakhs. However, the impact on the

same on liabilities and profit of the Company is not

ascertainable

h) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according

to the explanations given to us, the accounts subject to para 4

(b) & 4 (g) above read with para 4 (f) above in particular and

b) The Company had approached MSRDC to construct a bridge over Wardha River

near Nakoda in Wani Area to reduce the lead for coal transportation between the

mines of Wani Area and Railway Siding at Wani. An agreement was entered into with

MSRDC on 23.12.1997 for construction of the bridge and a loan of Rs. 235 lacs was to

be given by WCL to MSRDC, against which a loan of Rs.113 lacs, carrying a simple

interest @ 9% p.a. was given to MSRDC in 1997-98. The bridge is currently being

used to transport coal across Wardha River. The loan is to be repaid by MSRDC

after repayment of its other loans. However, till date no amount is repaid by MSRDC.

The remaining amount of loan of Rs.122.00 lacs has not been released as WCL wants

to establish a time bound schedule for repayment of the loan and interest thereon.

Negotiations have been initiated with MSRDC for this purpose.

lacs (including interest accounted for as income upto 31.3.2010 of Rs.101.25 lacs.)

existed as on 31.03.2010. In view of this, during the year 2010-11, the interest amount

advance in their parent areas/Companies and such advances have not been trans-

ferred to the respective areas to which they have later been transferred. Conse-

quently, in some areas advances accounts are showing credit balances due to

recoveries. This is under reconciliation and necessary adjustment.

l) In case of Land in Chandrapur/Ballarpur/Wani/Nagpur Areas, a common judgment

was pronounced on 05.01.2009 by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in Non-Agricultural

assessment cases. Accordingly, there is a contingent demand of Land Revenue,

o) The Rate Contracts (RC) for supply of explosives by different suppliers expired on

28th February, 2006 and pending renewal of the RCs the suppliers were asked to

continue the supplies at the same rates as prevalent in the expired RC, subject to the

condition that such extended period supplies would be governed by the rates as

fixed in the new RC. This continued upto 28th July, 2006.

The new RC was finalised and came into effect from 29th July, 2006 with a reduced

price of the explosives. As a result, the supplies during the extended period of the

earlier RC was found to be supplied at a higher price than actually applicable. Hence

recovery of excess amount paid was made from the suppliers.

Page 126: WCL

122

ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11

Against the above recoveries, some of the suppliers, (six parties) filed a Civil Suit

before Hon'ble Calcutta High Court. The Hon'ble High Court of Calcutta granted stay

in December 2006 for recovery and directed CIL to stop such recovery of excess

payments. Accordingly CIL directed WCL to refund the amount deducted from the

six suppliers. The Hon'ble High Court of Calcutta asked these suppliers to deposit

the disputed amount in question in an account with the Joint Receiver appointed by

the Hon'ble High Court. As the suppliers having failed to do so, the Hon'ble Calcutta

High Court in July 2008 vacated the stay of recovery of excess payment made to

such suppliers. Hence, CIL directed WCL to restart the recovery of such amount

from the running bills of the suppliers as per directives of Court. An amount of

Rs. 253.77 lacs is recovered and kept in the books under a separate account

(Liability Code 480199) since 2008-09, pending final disposal of the case by the Court.

figures are as in Annexure at S.No.5 (e).

b) Employee Benefits under AS-15 :

The Company has adopted AS 15 (Revised) - Employee benefits with effect from

liability arising on adoption of AS-15 (Revised), net of related deferred tax assets

arising out of such adoption as on 1st April, 2007 against the General Reserves.

(1) Short term employee benefits: The Company recognises the undiscounted amount

of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services

redered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.

(2) Post-employment benefits: the company operates defined contribution plans

pertaining to Coal Mines Provident Fund schemes for all employees.

(3) Other long-term employee benefits : Entitlements to annual leave and sick leave

are recognised when they accrue to employees. Sick Leave can only be availed

during service period while annual leave can either be availed or encashed

subject to leave rules of the Company. The Company determines the liability

for such accumulated leaves using the Projected Accrued Benefits Method with

actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date.

(4) Terminal benefits : VRS benefits are recognized in the books in the year of

occurrence.

WESTERN COALFIELDS LIMITED

of Ordnance Factories of India, the Jt. Venture partner of the Plant, the Plant was

closed on and from 28.04.2003.

CIL had given its approval for disposal of the Plant and the Company in its 197th

Board Meeting held on 19.04.2006 had approved the disposal of P&M by tendering /

e-auction and accordingly the P&M along with related stores & spares have been

disposed of during 2006-07 by auction through MSTC. The Net Block of assets

pending disposal is Rs. 8.14 lacs. The liability towards Overheads after closure of

the Plant till 31.03.2011 for maintenance and upkeep of the Plant is Rs. 39.56 lacs.

The revenue expenses incurred during the current year is Rs. NIL (Previous Year

Rs. 3.64 lacs) Since the Plant works on No-Profit-No-Loss basis, all expenses are

passed on to the Areas. Hence there is no question of profit/loss. There is a NIL

cash outflow attributable to operating, investing and financing of discontinuance

(Previous Year Rs. 0.19 lacs)

ii) DFD Plant, Hinganghat : The Plant used to manufacture Coal Briquettes from raw

coal for domestic fuel purposes till its closure in 1994. Consequent upon non-viability

of the Plant as per the decision of the Board of the Company, the Plant was closed in 1994.

The disposal of the Plant is under process and the exact date of completion of

discontinuance is not determinable as of now. The Net Block of assets pending

disposal is Rs. 2.57 lacs and the liability towards Municipal Taxes is Rs. 3.39 lakhs.

The Company has applied to the Hinganghat Nagar Palika for waival of the Municipal

Taxes for the past four years on the ground that the Plant is no more in operation. The

revenue expenses incurred during the current year is Rs.0.52 lakh (Previous Year

Rs. 0.52 lakh). Since the Plant is inoperative for the past ten years and the final disposal

of the Plant is yet to be done, there is no profit/loss. There is no cash outflow

attributable to operating, investing and financing of discontinuance.

h) Impairment of Assets : AS-28 :

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the impairment of assets if there is

existence of any of the six external and internal indications prescribed.

In case of Land and Building, there is universally upward trend in Valuation. Unless,there

is damage to building, there is no need to make any provision. Similarly, in case of Plant

and Machinery and HEMM there is no downward trend, hence there is no impairment

unless Asset is obsolete or damaged.

Therefore, only prospecting & Boring and Development Expenses in continuous loss

making mines, have been considered for impairment, provided there is no clear indication

for its revival in near future.

In Umrer Area, at Umrer OC Mine there was an overburden-bench-sliding in the early

hours of 28th September, 2010 causing inflow of Amb River water into the mine. This has

caused an abnormal loss to the equipments and causing expenditure for additional activi

ties in Umrer Area due to heavy land slide in eastern quarry of Umrer OC.

A Drill Machine is completely buried under the landslide and the equipment is not

visible. CMPDIL, Nagpur has been engaged to locate the equipment for recovery and

the recovery process is in full progress. An amount of Rs. 94.45 lacs has been

Page 132: WCL

128

ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11

charged to Profit & Loss Account during the current year being the impairment loss

and the WDV of the equipment as on 31st March 2011 has been kept at 5% of its cost .

During the Current Year an amount of Rs. 528.72 lacs (including Rs. 94.45 lacs

mentioned above) has been charged to Profit & Loss Account as impairment loss

against P & B and Development Expenditure (DE) and Plant & Machinery in the

current year (P.Y. Rs. 448.41 lacs) Area-wise figures are as in Annexure at S.No 1(d)

i) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets AS-29

related mines.

i ) Subsidy for sand stowing and protective works is received from Coal Controller's

Organisation on half-yearly basis. The amount of subsidy actually received for Half

Year Ending 30th September 2010 is Rs. 712.94 lacs. The subsidy receivable for the

as was made for the Half Year Ended 31st March 2010, and the amount so receiv

able is estimated at Rs. 642.32 lacs (Previous year Rs. 626.69 lacs)

12. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

a) Weighted Average Notified Price for computing Net realisable Value for valuation of

closing Stock of Coal:

Consequent to the coal price revision w.e.f. 27th February, 2011, two types of

Notified Prices have come into effect as below :

i) For Power Utilities (including IPP), Fertiliser and Defence consumers.

ii) For consumers other than (i) above.

Accordingly, for the purpose of computing Net Realisable Value for Closing Stock

valuation, a weighted average price of the two notified prices, based on proportionate

despatches to the two different groups of entities as mentioned in (i) & (ii) above

during the year 2010-11, has been adopted. The consequent additional impact on

coal stock valuation during the year is Rs. 207.66 lacs increase in profit.

b) Provision for Mine Closure Expenditure:

During the year 2010-11, as per directives of Coal India Ltd., a provision for Mine

Closure in the books is made from current year on the basis of guidelines of Ministry

of Coal circulated vide letter no.55011/1/2009 - CPAM dated 27.08.09 instead of

making provision for Technical reclamation and Biological reclamation done in earlier

years. This change in Accounting policy has resulted in additional provision of Rs.

10442.41 lacs.

13. OTHERS:

a) The Company had preferred appeals in cases of Income Tax and Sales Tax assess-

ments completed. Pending decision, no provision has been considered necessary

and the amount paid/recoverable is being continued to be kept under Loans and

Advances/Claims Receivables.

b) Production of Coal is derived from records of dispatches billed, internal consumption,

opening and closing stock and are further certified by CIL Team.

c) Balances of Sundry Debtors, Advance to Suppliers and Contractors, Sundry Credi-

tors and Advances from Customers and other accounts recoverable/payable are

subject to confirmation.

d) CIL has been levying additional Apex Charges @ Rs. 6.00 per ton of coal dispatch to

meet the rehabilitation & fire fighting expenses of Jharia and Raniganj areas of BCCL/

ECL. An amount of Rs. 2553.54 lacs (Previous year Rs. 2730 lacs) has been

charged to P&L A/c on this account. Area-wise figures are as appearing in Annexure at S.No.5(a).

recovered from the party and credited to income. For the balance of Rs. 9.29 lacs

the recoverable figure is matched with a similar provision.

f) Gross sales is shown in the accounts as net of levies like entry tax, transit fees,

MPGATSVA Tax, etc. levied in the state of Madhya Pradesh amounting to Rs. 4676.60

h) In Pench Area at Sethia OC Mines, having a lead distance of 9.8 kms for levying

Surface Transportation Charges, STC is being charged @Rs. 50/- per tonne against

the permissible Rs. 30/- per tonne for the past several years. For want of details, the

impact of such excess levy of STC on the loss of the Area is unascertainable.

i) The interest paid/payable u/s 234(b) & ( c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is charged off
