No proposal to reallocate idle coal blocks to SCCL: Kishan Reddy
Union Minister of Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy has reiterated that coal blocks are now allocated through a transparent and fair auction process and suggested that the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) participate in the ongoing auctions conducted by the Ministry of Coal. Responding to Warangal MP Kadiyam Kavya's query on Wednesday regarding coal block allocations to SCCL, Mr. Reddy stated that his ministry had received a request from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on July 4 last year for allocating specific blocks, including Koyagudem Block III and Sathupalli Block III, to SCCL under sections 11A/17A(2) of the Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) Act, 1957. However, Mr. Reddy clarified that coal blocks are now allocated through a transparent and fair auction process. The MP also inquired about the non-operational status of previously auctioned blocks, such as Koyagudem and Sathupalli, which remain idle due to the failure of private allottees, and pressed for their reallocation to SCCL. The Minister made it clear that no such proposal is currently under consideration. The government noted SCCL's commitment, conveyed by the Chief Minister, to offer a 0.5% higher revenue share than previous bidders for these blocks. Emphasising the need for sufficient coal reserves to sustain SCCL's production capacity and meet Telangana's future power demands, Ms. Kavya urged the Centre to prioritise the State-owned company.
