CMD Message
From the Desk of CMD
Dear Colleagues,
“SILENCE AFTER A TYPHOON”. Aftermath the devastating Cyclone 'THANE', which had lashed Tamilnadu coast in the early hours
on 30.12.2011, now we feel a sigh of relief and slowly limping back to normalcy. Needless to say, usual fervor and spirit of New Year has
been virtually taken away by 'THANE' and it has become the spoil spot. Cyclone 'THANE has caused unprecedented damages to the
entire Cuddalore District and Puducherry. Neyveli
Township and surrounding area has suffered extensive
damages, especially, the most admired green lush of
Neyveli Township have been almost vanished. About
10 lakh trees were uprooted and about 70 lakh trees
were branched off, causing road blockages and
damages to the building & structures. Electrical towers
feeding power supply to Mine-I were collapsed and
several electrical poles were damaged. Water supply
and power supply were totally cut off.
As we had taken proper Disaster Management
strategies and precautionary measures to safeguard the
equipments & plants both in Mines and Thermal
stations, no major damages were caused to the vital
installations. On the other side, in Township area, loss
to the tune of `10.50 Crore has been assessed for the
various damages caused. SMD & Electrical Divisions of
Mine - I and Electrical Services Dept. have done a commendable job in the post cyclone period. They have risen up to the occasion at
once, arranged all sort of enabling works and extended all possible helps so that TNEB could complete the re-erection of towers within a
record time of 72 hours and restored power supply to Mine - I.
Our Township Administration has also swung into action without any loss of time by pooling in the resources from the production and
service units. Blockades in main thoroughfares and water supply were restored within one day. Power supply was restored in a phased
manner within a week. Surely, the good work done by Township Administration deserves special appreciation. In the hour of crisis, role
of Neyvelians was also admirable. I am personally indebted to our employees who stood like rock to tide over this crisis.
Now, it must be our new endeavour to bring back environmental ambience to our Township to regain its charm. I appeal to all our
employees and their family members to come forward to plant at least one tree by each member of the family to make this
“GREEN INITIATIVE” a grand success. NLC shall arrange to supply necessary saplings for this good venture.
Barring the ill effects of cyclone and its consequential losses, the year 2011 was generally good for NLC. Let us take a glance of our
physical performance for the first three quarter of the Financial year 2011-12, All the Mines have achieved higher production than the
target of over burden removal, showing an increase of 7.90% in Mine-I, 9.65 % in Mine-IA, 9.64 % in Mine-II and 12.05 % in Barsingsar,
with an over all growth of 3.25% as compared with 2010-2011. In the case of lignite production, Mine-IA & Mine-II have shown excellent
results by achieving 12.18% & 14.31 % more than the target. Production in Mine-I is lesser than the target by 9.58% due to “Lignite
Washout & Less Seam thickness” etc. and continued to besiege the lignite production. Barsingsar Mine has also not performed well on
account of less in take of the linked Power Station. Nevertheless we could achieve a growth of 6.6% over the previous year. Production
of lignite by Mines is a life line for NLC. Therefore, Mine should not leave even an ounce of lignite in 2nd & 3rd seems and appropriate
actions are also been initiated.
In Power Generation front, as in previous years TPS-II has shown remarkable achievement by generating 14.77 % more than the target.
I am very much delighted to note that in the calendar year 2011, TPS-II has generated 11056 MU and set a new record. TPS-I &
TPS-I Expn. also have shown encouraging results. In total we have achieved a growth of 4% in power generation when compared to
the previous year. I expect that we shall take vigorous strive to catch-up the shortfall in production targets of each units, so as to achieve
the target fixed for the year 2011-12.
I am very happy to announce that commercial operation of Unit-I & II of Barsingsar Power station have been declared on 20.01.2012
and 29.12.2011 respectively. It is expected that for the remaining period of the current fiscal 2011-12, this station may add 300 MU to our
Power generation. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the employees who worked tirelessly against all odds to bring out our
maiden endeavour, ‘Establishing a plant out side Tamilnadu’, a grand success and crossed a remarkable milestone in the growth path of
NLC.
I am very proud to note that we shall always be in forefront to fulfill our social obligations. Mine-II Industrial canteen had arranged food &
water to nearly 10000 people, who were marooned by the recent flood in the peripheral villages. NLC had also arranged for relief camps
and provided blankets & medical facilities etc.
Every New Year comes up with new opportunities, new ideas and also new challenges. It is imperative that we need to set our priorities
on our objectives, strategies and work towards the achievement of goal, in order to keep pace with the changing nature of the highly
competitive business environment.
I convey my heartiest greetings to you and your family members for a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2012.
With regards
A.R. ANSARI

Q3 Brings Hope To Achieve Annual Targets
Net Profit hikes by 93% in Q3
During the first nine months of the current financial year (2011-12), all products reached the target except power generation which had a
slight dip. Since the two units of Barsingsar Power Station were permitted to generate electricity commercially, it brings hope that NLC will
achieve its targets in all fronts for the Financial Year 2011-12. In the financial front, NLC registered a Net Profit of `184.94 Crore during the
third quarter (Q3) of 2011-12, which is 92.51% higher than the Net Profit registered during the third quarter of 2010-11 (`96.07 crore). Brown
Coal proudly presents the physical & financial performance of the first nine months of 2011-12. (i.e.from 01.04.2011 to 31.12.2011).

Congratulations TEAM Barsingsar!
Generating Records too…
Barsingsar Thermal Power Project, (2x125 MW), Rajasthan, NLC’s maiden
endeavour on establishing a Power Plant outside Tamil Nadu has successfully
come into commercial operation. The boilers of this power plant is based on
CFBC (Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion) technology. Combating the
troubles that sprouted was a challenge during the previous years as this
technology is new for NLC. By the untiring efforts of our employees, they
themselves derived the solutions and successfully achieved the stage of
Commercial Operation Declaration (COD).
The Commercial Operation for Unit-I was declared on 20.01.2012 and Unit-II
was on 29.12.2011.
Brown Coal congratulates the executives and employees who worked in
unison to achieve the mission of NLC.
While other Power Stations are generating power,
Neyveli Thermal Power Station-II is generating
records along with power. Every time it breaks its
own records. During the calendar year 2011,
(01.01.2011 to 31.12.2011), this power station
has generated 11,056.063 Million Units (MU). The
station has surpassed the previous best
performance of 10,783.324 MU registered during
the year 2009.
Brown Coal Congratulates those who made it
possible!
Highlights of first nine months
Lignite: Mine-IA and Mine-II have registered a tremendous achievement in lignite production. While Mine-IA has produced 12.18%
more than the target, Mine-II achieved 14.31% above the target and registered a growth of 17.73% and 12.59% respectively.
Power Generation: The small shortfall in power generation was due to the non-commissioning of TPS-II Expn. and the bottleneck in
the declaration of Commercial Operation of Barsingsar Power Station. As far as Neyveli TPSs are concerned TPS-I, TPS-I Expn. and
TPS-II have generated 3.01%, 1.08% and 14.77% respectively, more than the target.
