Jharkhand SSI units facing acute coal shortage

A sizeable number of SSIs in Jharkhand are either facing acute shortage of coal or are forced to buy from open market because the State mines department did not initiate the process of the renewal of nodal agency for supply of coal at the appropriate time. According to the policies of the Central Government, an SSI, which has a requirement of up to 4,200 tonne of coal a year, is supplied coal at subsidised rates from the nodal agency chosen by the mines department of the State. The Jharkhand State Mineral Development Corporation (JSMDC) had been acting as the nodal agency for the purpose for the last several years. However, the mines department of the State needs to renew the agreement between the State and the nodal agency at the end of every financial year.
