(Amount in crores)

Some of coal producing States had demanded increase in the rates of Royalty. In this regard, a Study Group was constituted on 21 July, 2014 for the purpose of examining the issue of revision of royalty rates on coal and lignite.

The study group inferred from the comments of the stakeholders that the coal producing States had suggested to increase the rates of royalty from existing 14% to roughly 20%, whereas the coal consuming stakeholders suggested to reduce the present rate of royalty from 14% to roughly 5-6%. The Study Group after considering all factors had submitted its report suggesting no change in the rates of royalty. The recommendation of the Study group has been accepted by the Government and at present Government has no plan to increase the rate of royalty.
