State-owned Neyveli Lignite recently achieved a marginal 1.65 per cent growth in lignite production at 14.86 million tonnes (MT) during April-November 2010 over the year-ago period.
The miniratna firm under the Ministry of Coal had produced 14.62 MT of the dry fuel during April-November 2009. “...the company is poised for a substantial growth in the years to come,” the company said in a statement expressing hope to increase its lignite and power production capacity on completion of expansion projects.
It plans to take its power generation capacity to about 4,300 MW by 2012 from present 2,615 MW.
Its projects under-execution include a 1,000-MW project at Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, a 500-MW extension of the Neyveli plant, and a 50-MW wind power project. The company at present operates three opencast mines at Neyveli, Tamil Nadu and one in Rajasthan with a total capacity of 30.60 MT.
It registered a profit after tax of Rs. 1,604.86 crore in FY’10 compared to Rs. 1,046.01 crore in the previous year.
NLC is also spreading its wings in new projects with fuels other than Lignite. NLC forges ahead in all fronts and with its expansion activities the company is poised for substantial growth in the years to come.
On completion of the above On-Going projects already approved and with new projects on the anvil, NLC mining capacity (lignite & coal) is expected to be more than double its present capacity and the power generation will be at least three folds of its present generating capacity.
NLC is expecting shortly elevation of the status of Mini Ratna to Nava Ratna status based on the continuous and consistent support and co-operation from working force. NLC is poised to spread its service in the entire nation and its fame all around the world.
