Chairmans Statement
Friends, I feel great pleasure in reporting another strong year for Western Coalfields Limited, at the 37th Annual General Meeting of the company. We reported strong top line, that is, revenues of Rs 8357.48 crores along with sturdy bottom line, that is, pre tax profit of Rs 440.50 crores during the financial year 2011-12. I am delighted to share that we are extremely well positioned among the coal producers in the country on the strength of our strong balance sheet and sturdy performance year after year by surmounting the challenges posed by adverse geo mining parameters, paucity of reserves amenable to mega projects, constraints in land acquisition, the highest stripping ratio among all the subsidiaries of CIL and strata control problems at underground mines by adverse geo tectonic parameters. Vision It is well deliberated fact, that to sustain the high growth of economy, India needs to augment power generation capacity, as the country faces 12% shortage of peak demand in power. It is obvious that the coal producers will have to augment coal availability to meet the high demand for coal, as it is the prime energy mineral. It is a matter of record that exponential rise in Coal demand has resulted in negative coal balance (The difference between aggregate demand and availability of coal) at Western Coalfields Limited to the tune of 34.72 million tonnes during the current year itself). Keeping the reality in the mind, WCL has set its vision to emerge as a key player in the primary energy sector committed to provide energy security to the country by attaining environmentally and socially sustainable growth through best practices from mine to market. Performance 2011-12 With the concerted efforts by the team of WCL, we could achieve 43.11 million tonnes of Coal Production as against the last years 43.65 million tonnes and RE Target of 43.80 million tonnes. Notably the coal production of 1.8 million tonnes could not materialize from Umrer OC due to its prolonged discontinuance since Sept10, due to bench failure leading to inrush of Amb river into the mine. The mine has been started and it will contribute coal production during FY 2012-13. The Coal off-take of 41.967 million tonnes during the financial year, has been constrained mainly on account of non lifting of 4.036 million tonnes of coal over contracted quantity by MAHAGENCO through Road cum Rail mode since Aug 2011, coupled with 1.072 million tonnes less drawal of coal through captive modes (Rope, MGR & Belt) by CSTPS, MAHAGENCO. Of course, non availability of 1.8 million tonnes of coal from Umrer OC on account of its discontinuance had certainly affected the off-take. Factoring these shortfalls on the actual production of FY 2011-12, it may be appreciated that the company could have exceeded its target of 45.50 MT of coal production and Coal off-take.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011-12

WCL produces about 88% of Coal through departmental means, whereas the system capacity utilization in coal production has been 107.02% (System capacity 40.28 MT as assessed by CMPDI for FY 2011-12). The system capacity utilization during the year with respect to OB removal has been 100.55% (122.49 million cubic metres achieved as against the system capacity of 121.81 million cubic metres assessed by CMPDI for FY 2011-12). This achievement is certainly commendable for the company which operates in highest Stripping Ratio. The company has achieved an overall productivity of 2.70 tonnes per man shift, which is 106.3% of the targeted 2.54 tonnes per man shift, thus registering a growth of 1.88% over the last years 2.65 tonnes per man shift. Sales Realisation from customers during 2011-12 has been the highest ever approximately Rs 8620.70 crores, showing a growth of 17.86% against that of Rs 7314.00 crores during last fiscal. The total outstanding dues with customers brought down from Rs 147.37 crores as on 01/04/ 11 to Rs 133.05 crores as on 01/04/12, that is, reduction in outstanding dues by 9.72%. Financial Performance During the year, WCL achieved the highest turnover of Rs 8357.48 crores with a pretax profit of Rs 440.50 crores, which is of course less than the last years corresponding figure of Rs 1067.98 crores. I wish to add here that, we had to provide for Rs 854.30 crores on account wage increase and actuarial liability arising out of the National Coal Wage Agreement IX effective from 1st July11. Adding the figures, we may appreciate that our actual profit had been Rs 1294.80 crores. Net worth of the company has risen from a level of Rs 3236.59 crores last year to Rs 3315.22 crores on 31-03-12. Your Directors have recommended a dividend payment of Rs 184.04crores @ 61.95% on the Paid up Capital of the company i.e. Rs 297.10 crores. I feel pleasure to share with you that our assessment against MoU parameters 2011-12 by Department of Public Enterprises is expected to be Excellent (Provisional) on the strength of our overall performance of the company. Creation of Assets Company has Invested Rs 275.72 crores during FY 2011-12 on development of new mines and infrastructure along with replacement of old assests, entirely from internal resources. HEMM worth Rs 161.85 crores were purchased during the year, whereas the equipments for underground mining costing Rs 23.05 crores were added in the fleet. Planning Preparedness Out of 29 projects of XIth plan with a sanctioned capacity of 38.75 MTA and capital of Rs 5357.52 cr identified to sustain the production, Project Reports for all the projects have been formulated and 6 projects approved by WCL Board are at different stages of implementation, while 21 projects have been approved subject to finalization of cost plus agreements with prospective consumer, accorded 1st stage approval and 2 projects are being re-casted.

WESTERN COALFIELDS LIMITED

At present, the company is implementing 33 ongoing projects with a sanctioned capacity of 32.081 MTA and Capital of Rs 1396.33 crores. Out of 33 projects, 22 are in operation and rest, under various stages of implementation. Contribution of ongoing projects in Coal production was 16.7123 million tonnes during FY 2011-12 as compared to 13.2751 million tonnes during FY 2010-11. Cost Plus Projects Total 32 projects have been approved till FY 2011-12 on Cost Plus Basis, on negotiated price to yield requisite IRR%, out of which Coal Supply Agreements for 7 projects have already been signed. 6 projects, namely Sarda UG, Hurradol UG, Dhankasa UG, Dhuptala UG, New Majri UG to OC and Dinesh OC have been offered to MAHAGENCO and MPPGCL on cost plus basis for which In Principle consent has been received and Coal Supply Agreements are under finalization. As per guidelines from Ministry of Coal, 13 numbers of financially unviable projects were placed on the website of the company and applications were invited from LoA holders/ FSA holders/ Linkage holders both from Cost Plus category and notified price category. Based on the applications allocation of coal from three cost plus mines namely Urdhan OC, Bellora Naigaon OC and Ukni Deep OC has been approved for M/S MAHAGENCO and M/S Wardha Power Limited on cost plus basis. At the same time, it is a point to ponder that in coming days, with implementation of liberalized R&R policy the project financing will be constrained and almost all projects may not yield 12% IRR at 85% capacity utilization in view of already high stripping ratio. In that scenario sustainability of production will be an issue because opening of new projects may have to wait for fructification of cost plus agreement, and at the same time it may not be feasible to implement project specific coal pricing regime. Energy Efficiency initiatives Accepting the fact that there is scope to save at least 20 percent of energy by rationalization of operations, WCL has undertaken various initiatives, which have resulted in net saving of 46.70 million units of power during 2011-12 as compared to last year. Specific Energy Consumption at 4.08 KWH/cum is 10.92% less than the last years 4.58KWH/cum. Material Management e- Procurement has now become a regular feature in procurement of materials. As per advice of Ministry of Commerce, Department of Expenditure, all the tenders are uploaded in CPP portal from January 2012. WCL has been appreciated for keeping the lowest inventory amongst all the subsidiaries of CIL i.e. 1.03 months during the year 2011-12. Company has realized Rs 10.31 crores by means of scrap disposal during the year up by 38.76% over the last years Rs 7.43 crores. Environment Management It is a well accepted fact that Coal mining is environmentally sensitive activity and mitigation of its adverse impacts bears the prime concern in the mind of Coal mining companies in view of environmental sustenance.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011-12

Restoration of degraded land through afforestation and green belt development is another area where WCL has unwavering commitment and achievement. Till date, WCL has planted 178.88 lakh trees covering an area of 6469 ha. in its command area in states of Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh. During 2011-12, a total of 2.26 lakh saplings were planted in the mining and adjoining areas through expert forest agencies namely FDCM and MPRVVN and also by distribution of saplings to employees and villagers. The progress of afforestation in the command areas of WCL are monitored regularly thro satellite imagery which indicates that there is an increase in afforestation/ plantation in mining projects. The 10 major OCPs which are being monitored every year through Satellite Imagery Survey have proved this fact beyond doubt. After analyzing the Satellite data of the year 2010 vs 2011, it has transpired that the plantation works, carried out on back filled area, external OB Dumps as well as on plain land in all these mines of WCL, has increased from 25.35 sq.km to 26.82 sq. km. (an increase 1.47 sq km). In recent past, statutory stipulations such as mandatory public hearing even for expansion projects, extending moratorium on grant of EC under CEPI in Chandrapur industrial cluster, mandatory Stage-I forest clearance to get EC, implementation of Mechanically closed trucks for coal transportation imposed by Maharashtra State Pollution Control Board etc. are some of the nagging problems that are being faced by WCL. I have no doubt that WCL team will rise to the occasion and meet these challenges in coming days, by effective management of natural resources so that the CIL/WCLs policy of sustainable development i.e. achieving the coal production target with minimal degradation of environment, is reached. Acquisition of Land Your company has made a remarkable achievement in acquisition of land for mining and allied activities. It has acquired all time high 2240.194 Ha land which is 9.24% growth over last year. Similarly, we have taken possession of 332.387 Ha of Land which is 1.64% growth over last year. Moreover with enhancement of Monetary compensation in lieu of employment to Rs 500000/- per acre and liberalizing the land compensation rates through Revised R&R Policy of CIL, there has been a positive shift in the attitude of PAPs and coupled with our Confidence Building Measures by CSR initiatives they have been appreciating and are inclined to join us by giving their land. It is a perfect Win- Win situation. Corporate Social Responsibility The CSR Policy of the company broadly covers education, water supply, health care, environment management, infrastructure support, employment generation, encouraging sports etc. The CSR initiatives are village specific, need based and in sync with local development to ensure that they are socially acceptable to local people. WCL has provided @Rs 5/- per tonnes as CSR budget. It has spent Rs 7.65 crore during FY 2011-12 under CSR , up by 8.82% over last years Rs 7.03 crores. During 2011-12, WCL has conducted 171 medical camps in and around its command area, organized 25 coaching camps for promotion of sports, organized 12 de-addiction camps to improve socio economic fabric and commissioned 67 tube wells under CSR initiatives apart from providing 8 classrooms in different schools and providing 2 ambulances for the programme Medicare at your Door Step.

DIRECTORS REPORT
To The Members/Shareholders, Western Coalfields Limited. Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the 37th Annual Report of Western Coalfields Limited and Audited Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2012 together with the report of the Statutory Auditors and report and review of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India thereon. 2. LOCATION OF UNITS : The mines of your Company are located in Maharashtra and South-West Madhya Pradesh. For Effective administrative control and operations, the mines have been grouped in 10 (Ten) Areas as follows :
Area District State Underground Nagpur and Umrer Nagpur Maharashtra 10 12 Chandrapur, Ballarpur, Chandrapur Maharashtra Majri, Wani and Wani North & Yavatmal 13 Pench and Kanhan Chhindwara Madhya Pradesh 7 Pathakhera Betul Madhya Pradesh Total Numbers of Mines- WCL 82 42 Mines as on 1.4.2012 Opencast Mixed 5 26 7 2 -

Overburden removal during the year 2011-12 was 122.488 million cubic meters against the AAP target of 127.000 million cubic meters which is 4.512 million cubic meters less than the target and 6.664 million cubic meters more than last year actual progressive of 115.824 cubic meters for the same period. Notably, the Financial Year 2011-12 had been a year full of challenges, whereas the concerted efforts by the team of WCL could lead to achievement of plus 94% performance. Non-achievement of coal and OB target has been mainly on account of non-revival of Umrer OC, delay in physical possession of land in opencast mines, adverse geo-mining conditions prevailing in underground mines, incidences of fire in underground districts and closure of PKII Under ground mine due to exhaustion of reserves. Coal Off-take during 2011-12 was 41.967 million tonnes which is 3.533 million tonnes less than the targetted 45.500 million tonnes that is 92.2% achievement and 0.593 million tonnes less than last years actual 42.560 million tonnes due to abrupt stoppage of despatch of coal by Maharashtra Power Generation Co. Limited (MAHAGENCO) through Road/Rail mode w.e.f. 16/08/2011 and non lifting of coal during monsoon by Himachal Pradesh Power Generation Co. Limited (HPPGCL) and Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.(UPRVUNL). 3.1 Performance of Production (Coal and Washed Coal), Productivity, Coal Sales and Off-take against Annual Action Plan (AAP) targets and as compared to last years is given in the following table :

OTHERS a) The government of Madhya Pradesh by Gazette Notification dated 30/09/2005 has imposed a new tax named Madhya Pradesh Gramin Avsanrachana Tatha Sadak Vikas Adhiniyam, 2005 (MPGATSVA 2005), with effect from 30/09/2005. This Adhiniyam provides for charging of tax @ 5% on annual value w.e.f. 30.09.2005. Some consumers as well as WCL moved the Honble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur and obtained interim relief. As per the interim order dated 15/02/ 2006 the Honble High Court, Jabalpur had directed the Compay not to deposit this tax to the State Government but to keep in a fixed deposit. The matter was later 122

WESTERN COALFIELDS LIMITED

dismissed by the Jabalpur High Court in favour of MP Government. WCL has filed an SLP before the Honble Supreme Court and the matter is still sub judice. The Honble Supreme Court of India vide its order dated 02-08-2010 directed the Company to file its returns for all the years under protest as per MPGATSVA (2005). The Honble Supreme Court directed the assessing officer under the Act to complete the assessments of returns filed by the Company. In compliance with the Supreme Court directions the assessing officers raised total demand of 244.59 Crores against the Company upto 31/03/2012. As per legal advice full amount of demand made during 2010-11 amounting to 205.79 crores has been paid. The company, as per legal advice, has deposited 19.36 crores (being 50% of total demand raised during 2011-12) and has preferred Appeals against the assessment orders with Competent Appellate Authority, Jabalpur and Bhopal. An amount of 299.21 Crores has been received from customers on this account up to 31/03/12. Term Deposit, against this receipt upto 31st March 2012 (after adjusting 225.15 Crores paid for appeal), for 68.84 Crores has been made upto 31st March 2012 and Term Deposit for balance 5.22 Crores is made in May 2012. The matter is now pending before the Honble Supreme Court and Appellate Authority Jabalpur. The interest on fixed deposits made on this account is treated as liability. b) Pending decision of Honble Supreme Court of India 4.52 Crores being interest on delayed payments on account of enhancement of rate of royalty on coal, collected from customers in the earlier years, continued to appear in account Advance & Deposits from Customers under the head Other Current Liabilities (Previous year 4.52 Crores). By virtue of enactment of Cess and Other Taxes on Mineral Validation Act, 1992, the Company raised supplementary bills on customers upto 4.4.1991. An amount of 2.96 Crores (Previous Year 2.96 Crores) has been shown as liability for Cess on Royalty under the head Other Current Liabilities. In view of the judgment of Honble High Court, Patna, and Ranchi Bench in writ petition no.CWJC/1280 of 1992, the said Cess is not payable. However a Special Leave Petition is pending in Supreme Court against it. As per interim orders dated 20.06.2005 and 29.06.2005 of Nagpur Bench of Honble Bombay High Court, WCL has made Fixed Deposit in Nationalised Banks for the amount of difference between weighted average of e-auction price and notified price for coal supplied to the petitioners during the period 01.07.2005 to 31.12.2005. On 12.12.2005, Honble Supreme Court directed to supply coal to petitioners on payment of notified price plus 33.33% of enhanced price and by furnishing security for the balance amount of 66.67% of enhanced price with an undertaking to the Honble Supreme Court that the said part will also be paid within 6 weeks of the decision of the apex court in the Writ Petitions in case the Writ Petitions are decided against the Petitioners. However, the petitioners voluntarily deposited with WCL the full value of coal, i.e., notified price plus full difference between weighted average price and notified price along with a letter of undertaking. The total amount so deposited by the Customers till 31.03.2007 was 39.78 crores, which was shown under Advances and Deposits from Customers.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011-12

As per the directive of Supreme Court an amount of 4.04 crores was to be deposited with the Court and the Company has paid this amount to Coal India Ltd for depositing with the Court. This amount is shown as advance deposit in our books. As per the Supreme Court order dated 9th May, 2008, refund claims of the customers are to be verified by a Committee at WCL HQ level and the money is to be refunded to the claimants directly. Accordingly an amount of 22.97 crores together with interest of Rs 4.11crores has been refunded to the claimants. The total refunds and interest paid till 31.3.2012 (including the above refund and interest) are 39.29 crores and 7.60 crores respectivel Considering the refunds made to the customers and the amount paid to CIL, there is no Fixed Deposit on this account as on 31st March 2012 e) The Company had approached MSRDC to construct a bridge over Wardha River near Nakoda in Wani Area to reduce the lead for coal transportation between the mines of Wani Area and Railway Siding at Wani. An agreement was entered into with MSRDC on 23.12.1997 for construction of the bridge and a loan of Rs. 2.35 Crores was agreed to be given by WCL to MSRDC, against which a loan of Rs.1.13 Crores, carrying a simple interest @ 9% p.a. was given to MSRDC in 1997-98. The bridge is currently being used to transport coal across Wardha River. The loan is to be repaid by MSRDC after repayment of its other loans. However, till date no amount is repaid by MSRDC. The remaining amount of loan of R1.22 Crores has not been released as WCL wants to establish a time bound schedule for repayment of the loan and interest thereon. Negotiations have been initiated with MSRDC for this purpose. Since the principal amount of advance is doubtful, necessary provision for Rs. 2.14 Crores (including interest accounted for as income up to 31.3.2010 of Rs. 1.01Crores) exists as on 31.03.2012. In view of this, since the year 2010-11, the interest amounting to Rs. 0.10 Crores per year on this advance has not been recognised as income and also no further provision was necessary during the year. f) Report of the Tripartite Committee, comprising of Subsidiary/Mine Management, CMPDIL and Explosive Manufacturers, set up to finalise the benchmark powder factor of each mine for the period 2005-06 and April06 to July06, is still awaited. It has been decided by CIL that Subsidiary Management shall review the impact of considering the powder factor of 2003-04 and 2004-05, whichever is higher vis-vis actual achieved during 2005-06 and submit the Companys view through CMD to CIL. This review is yet to be finalized. As such no recovery has been made from bills for supply of explosives during that period. Pending finalization of the issue, the Bank Guarantees submitted by the suppliers is not released by CIL. Subsequent supplies are covered by new rate contracts which specify that recovery on account of powder factor is to be adjusted after final powder factor reports are received from the Areas on quarterly basis. Pending receipt of final reports for quarter ending March 12 the deduction of Rs.1.23 Crores during current year is appearing as a liability (P.Y.1.01 Crores). Accordingly, the expenditure on account of explosive consumption has not been adjusted since the amount is not ascertainable. During the year 1993-94 a suspected fraud case was detected at Nandgaon Incline of Chandrapur Area, quantified by the Internal Audit Department to the tune of Rs. 0.12 Crores and the same is under CBI investigation. An amount of Rs. 0.02 124

Crores has been recovered from the party and credited to income. For the balance of 0.10 Crores the recoverable figure is matched with a similar provision. h) During the year 1995-96, a theft case at CWS Stores was suspected and police complaint was lodged. A department enquiry is also under progress. During the course of such enquiry many kardex were seized/taken out of investigation. Pending final outcome of the enquiry, the workshop continues to maintain a provisionof 0.14 Crores. In case of Land in Chandrapur/Ballarpur/Wani/Nagpur Areas, a common judgement was pronounced on 05.01.2009 by the Honble Bombay High Court in NonAgricultural assessment cases. Accordingly, there is a contingent demand of Land Revenue, ZP/GP Taxes and Additional Taxes for the period from 1980 to 2009 to the tune of 62.04 crores. However, the Company has filed a Leave Petition before the Divisional Bench of Bombay High Court, on behalf of the Areas on the grounds that such taxes are not payable on lands acquired under Coal Bearing Area Act. The Company had preferred appeals in cases of Income Tax and Sales Tax assessments completed. Pending decision, no provision has been considered necessary and the amount paid/recoverable is being continued to be kept under Loans and Advances/Claims Receivables. The Rate Contracts (RC) for supply of explosives by different suppliers expired on 28th February, 2006 and pending renewal of the RCs the suppliers were asked to continue the supplies at the same rates as prevalent in the expired RC, subject to the condition that such extended period supplies would be governed by the rates as fixed in the new RC. This continued upto 28th July, 2006. The new RC was finalised and came into effect from 29th July, 2006 with a reduced price of the explosives. As a result, the supplies during the extended period of the earlier RC were found to be supplied at a higher price than actually applicable. Hence recovery of excess amount paid was made from the suppliers. Against the above recoveries, some of the suppliers, (six parties) filed a Civil Suit before Honble Calcutta High Court. The Honble High Court of Calcutta granted stay in December 2006 for recovery and directed CIL to stop such recovery of excess payments. Accordingly CIL directed WCL to refund the amount deducted from the six suppliers. The Honble High Court of Calcutta asked these suppliers to deposit the disputed amount in question in an account with the Joint Receiver appointed by the Honble High Court. As the suppliers having failed to do so, the Honble Calcutta High Court in July 2008 vacated the stay of recovery of excess payment made to such suppliers. Hence, CIL directed WCL to restart the recovery of such amount from the running bills of the suppliers as per directives of Court, an amount of 2.58 crores is recovered and kept in the books under a separate account (Liability Code 480199) since 2008-09, pending final disposal of the case by the Court. 14.
