    Report No. 11 of 2018 CHAPTER XII: MINISTRY OF STEEL Steel Authority of India Limited 12.1 Import, Shipping and Transportation of Coal 12.1.1 Introduction Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL or Company) manufactures steel products and requires about 15 MMT (Million Metric Ton) coking coal annually, of which 12-13 MMT is imported. Coking coal is imported either through global tenders or through Long Term agreements (LTAs). The Company’s Coal Import Group (CIG) is responsible for import of coal. The CIG assists the Empowered Joint Committee (comprising SAIL and RINL) and SAIL Directors Committee (SDC) to take import related decisions. The Transport and Shipping Department (TSD) of the Company is responsible for chartering of vessels for overseas transport of imported coal and limestone, port handling and dispatches of imported cargo from ports located at Visakhapatnam, Gangavaram, Paradip, Dhamra and Haldia to respective steel plants. Value of its annual coal imports ranged between `6937 crore to `11,656 crore during 2013-14 to 2016-17 which was 15 to 22 per cent (approx) of the Company’s total expenditure annually. The audit objective was to assess whether import of coking coal and its shipping, handling and transport to the steel plants were managed in a transparent, competitive and fair manner ensuring efficiency and economy. SAIL imported 51.10 MMT of coking coal valuing `37,254 crore during 2013-17. Audit reviewed records relating to import of 38.79 MMT of coal valuing `25,598 crore at Coal Import Group of SAIL. All eight long term agreements for import of coal entered into by SAIL during 2013-16 were covered during the audit.

    Jharkhand Central Railway Limited: [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) Assigned

    December 03, 2020 Jharkhand Central Railway Limited: [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) assigned Summary of rating action Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) Proposed Term Loans 1,259.75 [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable); Assigned Total 1,259.75 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating assignment factors in Jharkhand Central Railway Limited’s (JCRL’s) long-term concession agreement with the Ministry of Railways (MoR), which provides earnings visibility to its upcoming railway project, and the approval to charge an inflated mileage from users, which would make the project’s return indicators attractive. ICRA notes that Central Coalfields Limited (CCL, JCRL’s parent, owning 64%1 of the shareholding) plans to significantly ramp-up coal production in the North Karanpura coalfield over the medium term, which, along with shorter lead distances, faster rake turn-around times, and lower trip costs following the commissioning of JCRL’s railway line, partly mitigates the traffic fluctuation risk. Moreover, given the strategic importance of the rail corridor to CCL's expansion plans, the operational synergies between CCL and JCRL remains high, which supports JCRL’s business risk profile. In addition, JCRL’s credit profile benefits from the strong financial profile of its parent CCL, as well as IRCON International Limited (IRCON), which has a target shareholding of 26% in JCRL. JCRL’s rating also factors in the fixed revenue share clause with MoR for providing reserve services, which partly mitigates risks associated with inadequate increase in freight rates to cover for rising operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The rating, however, is tempered by JCRL’s exposure to high project implementation risks, leading to risks of time and cost over-runs, and the company’s sizeable dependence on external borrowings, which is likely to lead to modest debt coverage metrics during the initial years post commissioning.

Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.
