CMD Message

My dear colleagues,

My greetings to you.

I have not been able to

reach out to you through

this platform for quite

some time though I wanted

to very much. I have been

running against t ime

pursuing our plans and

thought I should bring

some good news for all of

us.

The news for us to feel good is we have more than doubled our

installed capacity in mining (from 30.6 MTPA lignite) by

adding 31.5 MTPA of coal which will be coming from recently

allotted Talabira II & III coal blocks in our favour in Odisha in

addition to South Pachwara coal block in Jharkhand. We have

signed an MoU for acquisition of 1200 MW coal-based new

thermal power station of Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC)

at Raghunathpur in West Bengal and if everything goes well,

we plan to operate the new plant in around

4 months' time adding revenue to our company through the

proposed Joint Venture with DVC. PIB meeting for our

1980 MW NUPPL project is over and we are expecting

clearance (for the project) shortly upon which main plant

package awards will be issued. We have floated tenders for

adding 500 MW Lignite based power generating capacity

(250 MW x 2) in Rajasthan at/near Barsingsar and

prospecting is on to add another 1000 MW Lignite based

power station in Neyveli Complex itself.

On the renewable energy front, our 51 MW Wind Power Units

are nearing completion and we have floated tenders for

adding 130 MW each (total 260 MW) Solar Power generating

capacity at Neyveli and also at Barsingsar.

We are at the end of the financial year 2015-16. The setback

we suffered in last November and December due to

unprecedented rains and floods was substantial and we have

been trying to recover which we may do to some extent. But

non-stabilization of TPS-II Expansion Units continues to be a

cause of serious concern for us and the same is true for our

Barsingsar Units where performance improvement has been

low. In both the cases our performance and earnings are sub

optimal and in fact in case of TPS-II Expansion our cost of

depreciation and interest are more than our earnings. I will

With regards,

Sarat Kumar Acharya

urge our officials in both

the places to pay serious

attention to improving

efficiency.

We have embarked upon

creating a culture of leadership excellence where our Senior

Executives were given an opportunity to interact with some

renowned thought leaders of India. As in the past, this year

also we are taking Development Centre initiatives for

capability building for our middle and Senior level Executives.

Such initiatives will build leadership capabilities to take the

organization to new heights. These are in addition to the skill

development programmes which are getting conducted

regularly for employees at various levels.

There were a couple of industrial accidents which resulted in

loss of life. I urge my dear Brothers and Sisters of NLC to adopt

safety standards and follow safe practices in every sphere of

activity. We do not want any accident to happen due to any

unsafe act.

We celebrated Panguni Uthiram and Holi together spreading

the message of universal camaraderie and brotherhood. We

observed International Women's Day and started skill

development and self-employment courses for women

empowerment. We have our plans for promoting Fish

Cultivation, Aqua Culture, Organic farming, Herbal and

medicinal plantations (that were initiated on World Forest Day)

and eco-tourism. I appreciate our employees in various units -

Thermal and Mines, including NTPL, for achieving record

performance on couple of occasions in the last one month.

I invite all of you to join together for achieving our dream of

making NLC a great company empowering the growth of our

great Nation.

Jai Hind,

Nandri and Vanakkam.

Medical & CSR

Tamil Nadu Chapter of TSI inaugurated at NLC

Kind Gesture of Neyveli Ladies Club and WIPS Members

The NLC GH started Telemedicine services in 2009 with the

help of ISRO and in association with Sri Ramachandra

Medical College (SRMC), Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust

Hospital (KKCTH), Chennai, and Narayana Hridhalaya,

Bengaluru. So far, more than 12,000 cases have been

treated at NLC GH through telemedicine consultation by

super specialists.

With a view to encourage and recognize the efforts of NLC

GH, the Telemedicine Society of India (TSI), a professional

body instituted to promote telemedicine initiatives,

inaugurated its Tamil Nadu Chapter at the NLC Learning

and Development Centre (L&DC) on February 23, 2016. The

TSI was established as a not-for-profit organization in 2001 to streamline and coordinate works in the field of telemedicine and to

train medicos in this sphere. Shri N. Muthu, ED (HR), NLC, lit the traditional lamp and formally inaugurated the TN-TSI in the

presence of Dr. Biswa N. Mohanty, the President, TSI, Dr. K. Selva Kumar, the President of TN-TSI, Dr. K. Ganapathy, the Past

President, TSI, Mr. L. S.Sathya Murthy, former Director, ISRO, and Dr. K. Janardhan, CGS (Medical), NLC GH.

Mr. Muthu said that while 75 per cent of the population was living in the rural areas, 75 per cent of doctor fraternity was based in the

urban areas. Hence, there was a wide chasm in getting the health care services in the rural areas. The only way to bridge the gap

was through telemedicine. Hence, the launching of the Tamil Nadu Chapter of

TSI at Neyveli was a great privilege to the organization for which he thanked

the organizers. In his video conference address, Dr. Prathap C. Reddy,

Founder-Chairman, Apollo Hospitals, congratulated NLC for its involvement

and keen interest in Telemedicine Practices. To mark the occasion a souvenir

was released by Dr. Mohanty and the first copy was received by Shri Muthu.

Dr. Janardhan made a power- point presentation on the telemedicine practices

in NLC GH.

Besides telemedicine consultation, the facility would also offer Continuing

Medical Education Programme and Nursing Education Programme to update

the knowledge of the medical fraternity and nurses.

R & D

MoU with ECT, Australia for Coldry- Matmor Process

CARD signs MoU with ARCI for Developing Fuel Cell

As a part of its R&D activities in developing value-added

products from lignite, NLC joins hand with the NMDC and the

Environmental Clean Technology Ltd (ECT) of Australia for

conducting a “Feasibility study on setting up a Small Pilot Scale

R&D Integrated Plant at Neyveli for Coldry-Matmor process to

attain a value-added product using lignite and iron ore.”

In a brief function, the MoU between the ECT and NLC was

signed by Shri Ashley Moore, MD, ECT, and Shri P.Selva

Kumar, Director (Planning & Projects), NLC, in the presence

of Shri Sarat Kumar Acharya, CMD, NLC, and Shri Glenn

Fozard, CMD, ECT, on January 19, 2016 at Neyveli.

In his address , Shri Acharya said that as the process would be

suitable for purifying the low grade iron ore into a high grade

ore by using the easily available

lignite, the exchange of technical

know-how between India and

Australia would not only benefit the

companies and the countries but also

the humanity. The feasibility report

on the project would be ready by

June-end this year, he said. The

Australian officials said that their

country was pleased to join hands

with NLC in the process of

implementing “Make in India” policy

of Government of India.

Shri Rakesh Kumar and Shri V.Thangapandian, Directors of

NLC, Shri Sean Kelly, Australian Counsel for Southern India,

Shri B.Manivannan, GM/CARD, NLC, Shri P.Veerabalu,

DGM/CARD, NLC, and senior officials witnessed the event.

Earlier, the ECT approached NLC and suggested its

participation in the Matmor Process. Under the procedure,

moisture in lignite would be removed through Coldry process

and iron ore would be added to make pellets which in turn

could be utilized to produce iron ingot of more than 95% purity.

By this effort, lignite could have alternate use as commercial

products and value addition could be done for the lignite

resources in the country.


The Centre for Applied Research & Development (CARD), the

in-house R&D Unit of NLC, and International Advanced

Research Centre (ARCI), an autonomous R&D Centre of

Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, have

signed an MoU for conducting preliminary study on hydrogen

based fuel cell for a period of three months. It is the first R&D

Project of its kind in the country for a power plant to produce

hydrogen based fuel cell for power generation.

In TPS-II Expansion, Sodium Hypochlorite is used as an

oxidizing biocide to control algae growth in the cooling tower

water circulating system, in place of chlorine which is

generally used in conventional method. Fortunately, while

producing Sodium Hypochlorite the process eminates

enormous quantity of hydrogen gas, as a by-product during

the electrolytic process. This hydrogen gas is identified as

useful source of energy in fuel cells (a renewable source of

energy similar to battery cell) to generate electric power on

demand and to fuel electric vehicle etc. The energy produced

in the process is a clean energy as hydrogen and air are the

consumables for the power generation and water is the by-

product. It is predicted that within 45 years, the petroleum

reserves will be exhausted and therefore fuel cells would be

the only option for energising the automobile industry. In

addition, Union Ministry of Coal, was advised to undertake

R&D on fuel cell and Renewable Energy storage as per

Minutes of the Meeting of Prime Minister's Council on Climate

Change at New Delhi on January 19, 2015. With this

background NLC has taken up this R&D Project.

In a simple function held in the CARD premises on February

24, 2016, Shri B. Manivannan, GM/CARD, NLC, and Shri R.

Vijayakumar, Chief Finance & Accounts Officer, ARCI,

Chennai, signed the MoU in the presence of Shri M.V.

Varadharajan, GM/TPS-II Expansion, Shri D. Venkata

Director, Dr. N. Rajalakshmi, Senior Scientist, ARCI and

Celebrations

Republic Day The 67th Republic Day of the Nation was celebrated in

Neyveli on 26.01.2016 with traditional gaiety and fervour.

Shri Sarat Kumar Acharya, CMD, NLC, garlanded the bust

of Mahatma Gandhi in the Township Administration Office

Guards and the students from Neyveli schools and college.

In his Republic Day address, Shri Acharya proudly

announced that “NLC has entered into its 60th year of

formation and with its rich and proud past, it is marching

forward and is still young and vibrant.” He also informed

that NLC has plans to become a 19000 + MW Company by

2025, with 6000 MW coal- based power generation and 2500

MW Lignite-based power generation underway. On the

renewable energy front it has proposed to add 4000 MW

and 3000 MW by acquisition of power assets, he added.

Mr Acharya said that thanks to the ceaseless efforts put in by

the NLC team the company could overcome the temporary

setback caused by the recent unprecedented rains and

heavy floods. During the hard times NLC also extended a

helping hand to the flood-affected people living in the

measures. He thanked the contract agencies, contract workmen and the

supporting bodies like Banks, Post Offices, educational institutions, CISF

and welfare agencies for helping NLC to contribute to the growth of the

Innovation & Exhibition


Transportable Vulcanizing Panel - A tailor-made ready-to-use equipment

NLC Participated in three Exhibitions

Shri K.Natanam,

DCE, Electrical/

Conveyor Division,

M i n e - I A , h a s

d e s i g n e d a

Tr a n s p o r t a b l e

Vulcanizing Panel

for carrying out the

vulcanizing works

in Mine-1A.

This new system contains permanent wiring system for the

five 440 V panels with proper input and output for quick

establishment of power supply to the vulcanizing spot. Earlier,

these 5 panels were used to be transported separately and

assembled at the site. But such an arrangement was prone to

get wrong connection and the panels were also likely to get

damaged during transportation. The new system would be

free from such disadvantages.

This compact transportable power supply system averts

frequent power failures and ensures total electrical safety.

At Toronto, Canada

NLC participated in PDAC 84th Annual International

Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange at Toronto,

Canada, from March 6 to 9, 2016. This convention is the

world's leading Convention for people, companies and

organizations connected with mineral exploration.

PDAC 2016 Convention had drawn a large international

attendance. More than 900 exhibitors and 22,000 delegates

from 100 countries participated in the event. Through the

pavilion put up there NLC highlighted its contributions to the

Mining and Power sectors as well as the CSR works

undertaken for the development of peripheral areas in

Neyveli. Shri Sarath Kumar Acharya, CMD, NLC, presented a

research paper on the topic “Coal and Lignite Sector of India”

in the convention. A large number of Mining Engineers,

students and business people visited the pavilion.

At Kolkata

At Hyderabad

the PSUs Category.

Also, NLC participated in the expo on

“Innovations in Mines Safety” held at

Hyderbad, Telangana, on March 5, 2016 and

showcased the Mines and Thermal Power Station models and

Afforestation activities.

a p p r e c i a t i o n s f r o m Te c h n o c r a t s , E n g i n e e r s ,

Environmentalists, students and public from all walks of life.

No new materials need to be purchased for installing the new

system and hence, it curtails expenditures. Moreover, this

system would work for long duration.

During the Pit Safety Committee meeting, Shri A. Aravind

Kumar, CGM/Mine–IA, presented a memento to Shri

Natanam for his innovation towards enhancement of safety in

the conveyor division. The innovation was well appreciated by

With best wishes to all,

I joined Neyveli Lignite Corporation, a 'NAVARATNA'

pleasure to share with you all that the institution of NLC

happened to be a great platform for me to learn various new

activities and skills, and to enrich myself with knowledge and

experience. After having worked for about three years with

you, now the time has come to bid adieu to you, all the

employees of the NLC Ltd, as I will be laying down my office

shortly on completion of my tenure in NLC on 06-07-2016 along

I, look back at the days and the cherished memories during the

past three years serving in this company. I would not like to

project my contributions and achievements while serving

NLC, as I feel you and the public are the best

evaluator. I can only say that surely I tried to deliver

my services to the best of my knowledge and

capacity, fairly and fearlessly. If I qualify on your

parameters and standards, it will be a great

achievement for me. Here I would like to repeat

some of the lessons which I was told and I tries to

follow.

“You are a ray of hope especially to POOR and

WEAK, Don't avoid them. If you don't entertain

them, they will remain deprived, while rich and

powerful have many ways and means to get their

works done and you can't avoid them”

“If an occasion arises where you have to choose between your

carrier and service to institution/nation, choose the later”

Last but not the least; I take this opportunity to express my

sincere thanks to all the employees, right from contract

workmen up to the Management of NLC Ltd for your kind

cooperation extended to me during my tenure. I am also

grateful to all informants, in and out of NLC, for feeding me

and vigilance department with apt and valuable information. I

wish NLC Ltd and everyone a great success with leap and

bounces not only to attain a status of “MAHARATNA” but

also to be a distinct leader globally. I am sure NLC can attain

this shortly with her great vision, integrity, Transparency,

Fairness and Accountability in actions, and Competitiveness

in business.

May God Bless NLC Ltd and You all.

Sub: Acceptance of Bank Guarantee (BG) - Reg.

******

Reference is invited to the Commission's Circular No. O1/O1/08 dated 31.12.2007

(issued vide OM No. 02-07-1-CTE-30 dated 09.05.2006), wherein necessity for ensuring

verification of genuineness of Bank Guarantee prior to its acceptance was emphasized and steps

were suggested.

2. It is, however, observed that the practice of paper based verification of BGs followed by

the organizations is not only time consuming causing delay in acceptance/award of works or

advance related payments but also its trustworthiness cannot always be ensured due to human

intervention in it.

3. In this background, organizations are advised to follow IT enabled confirmation system

which is swift and secured in addition to their existing paper based confirmation system. The

following methods for verification may be considered by the organizations:-

a) Getting confirmation through digitally signed secured e-mails from issuing Banks;

b) Online verification of Company portal with user ID and password followed by 2nd

stage authentication system generated One Time Password (OTP) on portal for

reconfirmation;

c) E-mail confirmation followed by 2nd stage authentication by system generated SMS

through registered mobile and reconfirmation through SMS to the verifying officer.

4. Keeping above in view, organizations may evolve their own procedure adopting any one

or more of the above methods for ensuring genuineness of B65, which is compatible with the

guidelines of Banks/Reserve Bank of lndia.

98/DSP/9(Part-2)

th07 March, 2016Circular No. 03/03/16

Sub:- Action on Anonymous / Pseudonymous Complaints - reg.

1. The Commission has been receiving references from Departments / Organisations

seeking clarification on the action to be taken on anonymous/pseudonymous complaints which

were acted upon and at different stages of process including under disciplinary proceedings

before issuance of CVC Circular No. 07/11/2014 dated 25"‘ November, 2014 on the captioned

subject. A few Court decisions arising out of the Commission's guidelines issued earlier on the

subject were also brought to the notice of the Commission.

2. The Commission considered the details of the Court orders/judgments and in one

instance, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Principal Bench, Delhi had quashed the charge

sheet dated 14.10.2004 issued to the delinquent official based on the pseudonymous complaints

dated 18.02.1997 and 02.04.1997, vide order dated 20.07.2005. CAT had quashed the charge-

sheet served mainly considering the circulars of the Commission dated 29.6.1999 and 31.01.2002

on the subject. ln the order dated 20.07.2005, it was observed that the charge-sheet dated

14.10.2004 was issued pursuant to pseudonymous complaints received earlier and therefore is in

violation of Commission's circular dated 29.6.1999 and 31.01.2002. The High Court agreed with

the findings and observations of the CAT and dismissed the department's Writ Petition filed

against the order ofthe CAT in limine. Thereafter, the Supreme Court had also dismissed the

department’s Civil Appeal in the matter. CAT’s decision is based on one of the judgement dated

26.09.2003 of Madras High Court (in another case) wherein it was observed that the preliminary

enquiry report dated 25.05.2000 based on anonymous complaint was subsequent to the CVC‘s

circular dated 29.06.1999 and, therefore, is liable to be quashed and further that the prohibition

(in CVC circular) that “no action will cover all pending proceedings on that date.”

3. The instructions I guidelines issued from time to time on the subject-matter by

DoPT/CVC are as follows:

i. DoPT's O.M. No. 321/4/910-AVD.lll dated 29.09.1992 that no action is required to be

taken on anonymous/pseudonymous complaints in general, provided the option to

inquire into such complaints which contained verifiable details.

ii. Commission's initial Circular No. 3(v)/99/2 dated 29.6.1999 prescribing that no

action should be taken on anonymous/pseudonymous complaints and should just be

filed.

iii. Commission's circular No.98/DSP/9 dated 31.1.2002 reiterating that under no

circumstances, should any investigation be commenced on anonymous/

pseudonymous complaints.

iv. Commission's circular No. 98/DSP/9 dated 11.10.2002 reviewing its earlier

instructions of 1999, providing that if any Departments/ organisations proposes to

To send information/complaints/feedback with identity to this branch,

log on to NLC Intranet and also email to [email protected]

look into the verifiable facts alleged in anonymous/pseudonymous complaints it may

refer the matter to the Commission seeking its concurrence through the CVO or the

Head of the organisation.

v. DoPT O.M. No. 104/76/2011-AVD.l dated 18.10.2013 that no action is required to be

taken on anonymous complaints, irrespective of the nature of allegations and such

complaints need to be simply filed.

vi. Commission’s circular No.07/11/2014 dated 25.11.2014 withdrawing Circular dated

11.10.2002 and reiterating previous circulars dated 29.6.1999 and 31.1.2002 to the

effect that no action should be taken on anonymous/pseudonymous complaints and

such complaints should be filed.

4. Since, the aforesaid issues arising out of the observations of CAT and High Court of

Madras involve interpretation of substantial questions of law, the opinion of Ld. Attorney General

for lndia was sought by the Commission. Ld. Attorney General for lndia has furnished his opinion

and clarified that unless expressly stated all Executive Circulars are prospective in nature and they

do not have retrospective effect. Only a law can be retrospective if a law expressly states that it will

be retrospective or the intention to that effect is very clear. it is further clarified that an

anonymous/pseudonymous complaint, say made in 1997 i.e. prior to the prohibitory circular

dated 29.06.1999 ought to have been generally not entertained but if there was verifiable material

in accordance with the DoPT's O.M. of 1992 and investigation has commenced, the same would

have to be taken to its logical conclusion notwithstanding the issue of a later circular dated

29.06.1999.

5. Based on the opinion furnished by Ld. AG, the following clarifications are being issued:-

I. No action should be taken on anonymous / pseudonymous complaints in line with

Commission's present instructions dated 25th November, 2014 and such complaints

should be filed.

ii. However, where the action was initiated on anonymous / pseudonymous complaints

prior to the issue of CVC’s circular dated 29.6.1999 and was pending as on 29.6.1999,

it can be pursued further to its logical end.

iii. Where action was initiated on anonymous! pseudonymous complaints between the

period 11.10.2002 and 25.11.2014 with prior concurrence of CVC but is pending,

further action is permissible on such complaints.

iv. Material/evidence gathered during the investigation/verification of anonymous

complaints when the action was prohibited on such complaints (i.e. between

29.06.1999 & 11.10.2002), or where such enquiry was initiated without the approval

of CVC, can be utilised for further initiation of disciplinary proceedings on

misconducts noticed in such verification / enquiry.

6. All Administrative Authorities / CVOs may note the above clarifications for guidance /

compliance while handling and processing matters arising out of anonymous / pseudonymous

complaints.

TPS-I Expn.& TPS-II excel targets despite Nature's fury!

NLC on the Growth Path - Looking Ahead

On November 8 and 9, 2015 Neyveli received around 440 mm rainfall in 24 hours. Our mines got flooded and the production came to

a grinding halt. This natural disaster marooned our mines for about 35 days and chocked the power generation.

But once again we proved ourselves that we are capable to restore, rebuild and regenerate in the shortest possible time. Incredibly

our TPS-I Expn and TPS-II had generated 110.71% and 109.28% of electricity respectively, against the target. In overburden

removal too, we made 8.46% extra output beyond the target. However the overall target of lignite production and power generation

slightly slipped due to the calamity.

To familiarize the new vision and mission, corporate plans and the strategies of the company to attain Maharatna status with the

Executives of the organization, the CMD organized a series of interactive sessions with the Executives of all cadres at Learning and

Development Centre and at Lignite Hall, Neyveli, on different days.

On 22.10.2015, he interacted with the Senior Executives of the company. He narrated his ideas to the Chief Managers of the

Company on 07.11.2015. He made his presentation to the entry level Executives on 20.01.2016. On January 25, 2016 he explained

his ideas with the Middle Level Executives. Directors Shri Rakesh Kumar, Shri Subir Das, Shri V.Thangapandian and

Shri P.Selvakumar joined the CMD in these sessions. The CMD and Directors also replied to the queries of the Executives.

The interactive session brought confidence to all, and motived the employees to work hard for achieving the next level, Maharatna.

CMD’s Interactive Sessions with Executives

Mine-II has set another record on the highest

production of lignite for any day since inception,

on March 31, 2016 by producing 80,681 tonnes.
