KINGRI COAL A HIDDEN GOLD TREASURE!

Coal mining is one of the oldest industries of Pakistan. The discovery of coal in
Balochistan during the late 18th century led to its commercial utilization mainly by North-
Western Railways during the colonial regime. During fifties coal constituted 50 per cent
of total energy consumption. Up to mid sixties the major consumers of coal were
railways, cement, fertilizer and power plants.

The Balochistan province possesses huge reserves of coal at Duki, Harnai, Kingri,
Degari, Mach, Ziarat, Chamalang and Abegum estimated at 217 million tons. The 40
km-long Kingri coal mines contain coal ranging from high volatile C bituminous to high
volatile A bituminous with a total reserve of six million tons.

Pakistan spends billions of dollars annually to


meet its primary energy requirements. Oil and
POL import bill is expected to further increase due
to inadequate gas supply and price of crude oil
remaining high. The fact that higher crude oil price
is rendering local industries uncompetitive needs
no analytical elucidation. While the GoP is making
efforts to make it obligatory, for the industries, to
switchover from oil and gas to coal, the objective
cannot be achieved without announcing a comprehensive Coal Policy and investing
heavily in infrastructure development.

Due to increase in oil prices, shortage of gas and


electricity, Last year, chairman of Pakistan Steel during a
visit to Balochistan announced to purchase 60,000 tons of
coal and Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shehbaz Sharief
announced to purchase 2500 tons coal on Daily basis
from Balochistan for thermal power.

About one per cent local coal is presently utilized by coal-based power stations.
Balochistan government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a
Canadian firm for setting up 50 megawatts coal-fired power plant. Under the deal,
Balochistan Power Generation Limited (BPG) and Canadian Ever light Energy
Corporation (EEC) would prepare feasibility of the project and submit it to Provincial
Thermal Power Board for review. The board would settle matters relating to tariff and
supply of electricity between Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO) .The
companies would be bound to spend five per cent of their total revenue on development
of social sector in the areas where they supply power. The Cement, Urea and other
industries shifting to coal and the demand comes all over from Pakistan.
Presently, bricks makers utilize over 80 per cent of the local coal and the rest are
consumed by cement makers who blend it with imported coal to reduce the cost of
production. Coal is the cheapest source of thermal energy used in industrial sector. It
has the potential to replace other expensive fuels such as furnace oil.

Kingri sub-Tehsil of Musakhel District is


located in extreme border of Punjab
Province. Kingri area is well known for
its natural proved coal. In early 1980s
coal exploration started but due to
unavailability of Mattel road, the project
was stopped. In President Musharaf
regime the road from Fort Minro to
Kingri was mettle and now we are
connected to the country for business.
The area possesses two different
seems from Chamalang and Duki. The
Hills of coal is hard and supportive to
mining. More than 50 mines operating in
the area to full fill the energy requirements of the country.

Aram in Kingri has fine coal in depth of just 30 feet and fine charcoal. The specification
of Kingri coal is as:
