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.

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

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)
Chairman cum MD

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

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.)

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.

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

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

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

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:
