Activities
Everyone who works at ONGC India is responsible for protecting the environment, health and
safety of our people and communities worldwide. Our commitment to SHE performance is an
integral part of our business, and achieving cost-effective solution is essential to our long-term
success.
The dedication to the causes of environment and safety in ONGC is amply demonstrated by the
fact that a separate institute named Institute of Petroleum Safety, Health and Environment
Management (IPSHEM) had been set up way back in 1989 to deal with these issues.
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited ONGC 's safety policy seeks to provide safe and
healthy working conditions and enlist the active support of all staff in achieving these ends.
The development activities of ONGC has been planned on sound ecological principle and
incorporates appropriate environmental safeguards.
ONGC Represents India's Energy Security:
ONGC has single-handedly written India's hydrocarbon saga by the following methods: :-
• Building 6 billion tonnes of In-place hydrocarbon reserves with more than 300
discoveries of oil and gas; in fact, 5 out of the 6 producing basins have been discovered
by ONGC : out of these In-place hydrocarbons in domestic acreage, Ultimate Reserves
are 2.1 Billion Metric Tonnes (BMT) of Oil Plus Oil Equivalent Gas (O+OEG).
• Cumulatively producing 685 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) of crude and 375 Billion
Cubic Meters (BCM) of Natural Gas, from 115 fields.
Performance
Exploration and production stock, ONGC has recovered by over 11 per cent in March,2007. In
the last one week, the counter has gained around 4.14 per cent. But the current market valuation
of Rs 878 is considered a pale shadow of its peak-traded price of Rs 1,514, hit in May 2006.
Gross sales for the quarter and nine months ended on 31st December, 2006 include Rs. 1381.18
crore (previous quarter Rs. 527.96 crore) and Rs. 4690.88 crore (previous nine months Rs.
2679.98 crore) respectively towards trading of products of MRPL, a subsidiary of ONGC .
The 2006-07 results, expected by the middle of next month, may show higher profit by ONGC

[edit] History
[edit] Foundation
In August 1956, the Oil and Natural Gas Commission was formed. Raised from mere Directorate
status to Commission, it had enhanced powers. In 1959, these powers were further enhanced by
converting the commission into a statutory body by an act of [[Indian Parliament
[edit] 1960-1990
Since its foundation stone was laid, ONGC is transforming India’s view towards Oil and Natural
Gas by emulating the country’s limited upstream capabilities into a large viable playing field.
ONGC, since 1959, has made its presence noted in most parts of India and in overseas territories.
ONGC found new resources in Assam and also established the new oil province in Cambay
basin (Gujarat). In 1970 with the discovery of Bombay High (now known as Mumbai High),
ONGC went offshore. With this discovery and subsequent discovery of huge oil fields in the
Western offshore, a total of 5 billion tonnes of hydrocarbon present in the country was
discovered. The most important contribution of ONGC, however, is its self-reliance and
development of core competence in exploration and production activities at a globally
competitive level.
[edit] Post-1990
ONGC's HAL Dhruv helicopter operating off the coast of Mumbai.

Post 1990, the liberalized economic policy was brought into effect, subsequently partial
disinvestments of government equity in Public Sector Undertakings were sought. As a result,
ONGC was re-organized as a limited company and after conversion of business of the erstwhile
Oil & Natural Gas Commission to that of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd in 1993, 2 percent
of shares through competitive bidding were disinvested. Further expansion of equity was done by
2 percent share offering to ONGC employees. Another big leap was taken in March 1999, when
ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Gas Authority of India Ltd.(GAIL) agreed to have
cross holding in each other’s stock. Consequently the Government sold off 10 per cent of its
share holding in ONGC to IOC and 2.5 per cent to GAIL. With this, the Government holding in
ONGC came down to 84.11 per cent. In 2002-03 ONGC took over Mangalore Refinery and
Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) from Birla Group and announced its entrance into retailing
business. ONGC also went to global fields through its subsidiary, ONGC Videsh Ltd. (OVL).
ONGC has made major investments in Vietnam, Sakhalin and Sudan and earned its first
hydrocarbon revenue from its investment in Vietnam.
In 2009, ONGC discovered a massive oil field, with up to 1 billion barrel reserves of heavy
crude, in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran.[2] Additionally, ONGC also signed a deal with
Iran to invest US$3 billion to extract 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas from the Farzad B gas
field.[3]

• ONGC has been ranked at 198 by the Forbes Magazine in their Forbes Global 2000 list
for the year 2007 [4].
• ONGC has featured in the 2008 list of Fortune Global 500 companies at position 335, [5] a

Business
An energy self-sufficient India can alter the economic, political and manufacturing
landscape of the region. Its quest for energy will create new economic and strategic
challenges, right from mobilising capital to engaging in subtle diplomacy.
IndianOil’s own performance in the financial year 2006-07 was a case of 'exceeding
expectations' with both turnover and profits reaching new highs, product sales
registering a quantum jump, and the refineries as well as pipelines network
enhancing their capacities beyond 60 MMTPA and registering record throughputs.
New projects worth Rs. 10,000 crore were put on stream during the year. Among new
businesses, the petrochemicals and natural gas verticals and participating interests in
a clutch of oil & gas assets in India and abroad has ensured expansion of the
upstream portfolio.
IndianOil has ambitious investment plans of Rs. 43,250 crore in the next five years.
By 2011-12, the IndianOil Group, with 80 MMTPA refining capacity in its fold,
would be playing a key role in realising India’s bid to emerge as an export-oriented
hub for finished products. The pipelines network, which provides strategic logistics
advantage to the marketing operations, is also set to cross the 10,000 km mark in the
next two years.
In marketing, IndianOil is set to leverage the combined strength of over 32,000
marketing touch points, with focus on hitherto untapped rural markets, non-fuel
revenues and pure retailing business. IndianOil aspires to be Asia’s leading
commercial R&D organisation in the downstream hydrocarbon sector by building on
its capabilities in developing innovative technologies, products and processes, and
nodal research in alternative fuels.
Beyond core businesses, IndianOil is working to emerge as a major player in the
petrochemicals business by the year 2011-12, with two petrochemical hubs shaping
up at Panipat and Paradip. In natural gas business, it is attempting quantum growth in
LNG imports, infrastructure and marketing, besides city gas distribution. In the high-
risk business of oil exploration & production, IndianOil’s consortium approach with
established players is paying off well in terms of exceptional Government support
and successful forays in India and abroad. Its current interests are focussed on oil
equity and sourcing of natural gas, predominantly from African and CIS countries,
by leveraging its downstream capabilities to form joint venture partnerships with
reputed enterprises overseas.
With India’s energy needs projected to grow by 40% in the next five years, the future
is indeed full of promise for IndianOil; a future the 31,700 strong IndianOil team
shall build as they fuel the dreams of over a billion of their countrymen.

Research & Development Centre R&D Centre
Technology Provider
In today's dynamic business environment, innovation
through a sustained process of Research & Pioneering Efforts
Development (R&D) is the only cutting edge tool for
Inventions
organisations to thrive. With emphasis on development
and speedy commercialisation of globally competitive Technologies & Services
products, processes and technologies, the focus has now
shifted from R&D to RD&D (Research, Development
& Deployment).
INDMAX, a hallmark technology developed by the

Centre for maximisation of LPG and light distillates
from refinery residue, has been selected by IndianOil
for setting up a 4 million metric tonnes per annum
(MMTPA) INDMAX unit as a part of the 15 MMTPA
integrated refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex at
Paradip, as well as at Bongaigaon Refinery &
Petrochemicals Ltd. (BRPL). The Centre has also
licenced its Diesel Hydrotreating technology to these
two refineries. These successes have catapulted
IndianOil R&D into the elite league of multinational
technology licensors.
Standing in the company of six worldwide technology

holders for Marine Oils, with the second global OEM
(original equipment manufacturer) approval by
Wartsila, Switzerland, IndianOil's SERVO Marine Oils
are now technically qualified to cater to the lubrication
requirements of more than 90% of the world's marine
engine population. In the power-generation segment,
the newly developed SERVO Marine K-Series was
approved by Yanmar Co. Ltd. of Japan for use in their
engines operating on distillate fuels.
The R&D Centre continues to provide significant

support to the IndianOil Group refineries in product
quality improvement, evaluation of catalysts and
additives, health assessment of catalysts, material
failure analysis, troubleshooting and in improving
overall efficiency of operations. In-house developed
FCC models are not only being used in IndianOil
refineries for process optimisation but a similar model
has also been sold to a multinational company.
IndianOil has formed a joint venture company, Indo Cat
Pvt. Ltd., with Intercat, USA, for manufacturing 15,000
tonnes per annum of FCC (fluidised catalytic cracking)
catalysts & additives in India, for catering to rising
global demand.
As a step towards ensuring energy security for the

nation, IndianOil has launched several initiatives to
exploit alternative sources of energy such as Hydrogen
and Bio-fuels. Subsequent to commissioning India's
first experimental H-CNG (Hydrogen-Compressed
Natural Gas) dispensing unit at the R&D Centre
campus at Faridabad, demonstration projects are
underway on use of H-CNG blends in heavy and light
vehicles. IndianOil is also setting up India's first
commercial H-CNG dispensing station at one of its
retail outlets in Delhi in the year 2008 for fuelling
experimental vehicles running on H-CNG blends as
well as on pure Hydrogen. IndianOil R&D is also
working on production, storage, transportation,
distribution and commercialisation of Hydrogen as an
alternative fuel.
In Bio-fuels, besides spearheading commercialisation of

Ethanol-Blended Petrol in the country, IndianOil has
been in the forefront of technology development for
Bio-diesel production from various edible and non-
edible oils and its application in vehicles. Pioneering
studies by IndiaOil's R&D Centre established that Bio-
diesel produced from Jatropha seeds were at par with
that produced from vegetable oils. In the past few years,
the R&D Centre has studied the entire value chain of
Bio-diesel, starting from Jatropha plantation to field
trials on passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and
railway locos in collaboration with several vehicle
manufacturers, railways and state transport
undertakings.
IndianOil, along with its subsidiary IndianOil

Technologies Ltd., has been engaged in successful
marketing of in-house developed technologies,
technical services and training not only in India but
abroad too.
IndianOil has, till date, invested close to Rs. 1,000 crore

in setting up world-class facilities at its R&D Centre for
building world-class capabilities in analytical services,
engines, test rigs and pilot plants for all major refinery
processes, catalyst characterisation & development, etc.
It plans to invest about Rs. 500 crore during the period
2007-12 to maintain its leadership in downstream R&D
activities in the hydrocarbon sector. While continuing
with cutting edge R&D in the core areas of lubricants
formulations, refinery process technologies and pipeline
transportation, the thrust would now be on
commercialising the developed technologies and
initiating research in new frontier areas such as
petrochemicals, residue gassification, coal-to-liquid,
gas-to-liquid, alternative fuels, synthetic lubricants,
nano-technology, etc. Through these R&D initiatives,
IndianOil will continuously enhance value for all its
stakeholders.
Lubricant Research
With over 3500 formulations of lubricating oil and

greases, the SERVO product line developed by the
R&D Centre enjoys the largest market share in India.
While meeting the diverse needs of the Indian Industry
as well as the Defence services, Railways, public
utilities and transportation sectors, the R&D Centre
developed and introduced many multigrade rail road
oils and marine oils, making the Corporation the sixth
global player and the sole Indian presence in the select
league of marine oil technology developers the world
over. SERVO Marine Oil series for DG sets has been
approved by Wartsila of Finland and Switzerland for
their entire series of Wartsila-Sulzur engines. Another
accomplishment is the global approval from MAN
B&W of Denmark for IndianOil's marine oils.

As a supplier, IndianOil would be completely responsible for

delivery of gas to the customer’s premises. The transportation
services of the company engaged in transportation of gas
would be hired to ensure deliveries. World over this model is
in use wherein through one transportation system, multiple
suppliers operate.
IndianOil has inherent strengths and tremendous business

capabilities spread over all parts of the country. Its current
business position and relationship with existing customers
can be leveraged significantly to position itself as a gas
supplier with a back up comfort of liquid fuels, which no
other company can offer so far. Gas marketing is going to be
a focused activity in future.

E&P
Forays into E & P

In keeping with the dynamic business environment, IndianOil's business development
initiatives continue to be driven by the emerging opportunities and guided by its
corporate vision of becoming a diversified, transnational, integrated energy company.
Its business strategy focusses primarily on expansion across the hydrocarbon value
chain, both within and outside the country, while simultaneously revisiting its
strategic plans and undertaking mid-course corrections, wherever necessary.
To enhance upstream integration, IndianOil has been pursuing exploration &

production activities both within and outside the country in collaboration with
consortium partners. Recently, IndianOil was associated with two successful
discoveries in oil exploration blocks, one each in India and Iran. Commercial
appraisal of these blocks is underway. IndianOil also farmed into an exploration
block in Gabon along with Oil India Ltd. (OIL) as the operator. In addition, the
IndianOil-OIL combine acquired participating interest in a block in Nigeria. The
Corporation, in consortium with OIL, Kuwait Energy and Medco Energi of Indonesia
also succeeded in acquiring participating interest in two exploration blocks in Yemen,
awarded through international bidding.
At home, IndianOil and its consortium partners were awarded two exploration blocks
in Mumbai offshore in Round-VI of bidding under the New Exploration Licencing
Policy (NELP). With this, IndianOil now has an upstream portfolio consisting of
participatory interest in eight blocks under NELP and two blocks under CBM, in
addition to two farm-in blocks in northeast India and seven blocks overseas.
Oil & gas will continue to be the principal energy source in the growing economy.

consistent maintenance of standard has fetched the two refineries numerous awards. The
refineries can claim the lion's share of HPCL's contribution in the field of energy conservation,
environment and safety. For HPCL, success is never an end in itself and hence the refineries will
go through further upgradation in future.
Refineries History
Mumbai Refinery
Mumbai refinery has grown over the years as the main

hub of petroleum products, particularly crude base oil.
The refinery has reached its present form through
several upgradation and restructuring processes. A
chronological summary of the developments is
provided below:
• M/s Esso commissioned in 1954 with a crude processing capacity of 1.25
MMTPA.
• Lube refinery, Lube India Ltd, was commissioned in 1969 with a capacity of
165 TMTPA of Lube Oil Base Stock (LOBS) production.
• Crude processing capacity increased to 3.5 MMTPA during 1969
• Government of India took over Esso and Lube India and formed HPCL in 1974.
• Kosan Gas Company, the concessionaries of HPCL in the domestic LPG
market, were taken over and merged with HPCL in 1979.
• Expansion of fuels block was carried out by installation of new 2 MMTPA
crude units in 1985. Also, a second expansion of Lube Refinery took place to
increase the capacity of the refinery to 335 MMTPA, so far the largest in India.
• The current Installed capacity of the refinery is estimated at 5.5 MMTPA
Visakh Refinery
The Visakh Refinery is also an important contributor

to HPCL's crude production. This refinery has been
instrumental in supplementing the production of the
Mumbai refinery to achieve some marketable amount
of petroleum products in chosen foreign markets. The
summary of development of the refinery is given
below.
• The first East Coast Oil refinery was commissioned as Caltex Oil Refining
India Ltd. (CORIL) in 1957 with a crude processing capacity of 0.65 MMTPA.
• The refinery was subsequently taken over by Government of India in 1976 and
merged with HPCL in 1978.
• The refinery's crude refining capacity increased to 4.5 MMTPA during the first
expansion in 1985.
• The refinery's crude refining capacity increased to a further 7.5 MMTPA during
the second expansion in 1999.
Energy Conservation (ENCON)

HPCL's refineries use energy in various forms viz.,
fuel, steam, electricity, etc. in different processing
units to convert crude oil to usable petroleum
products. Most of these refinery processes are energy
intensive and use part of the finished products
produced in the refinery to derive their energy
requirement. Thus any reduction in consumption of
energy directly results in higher availability of
finished products, which in turn results in higher
profit. Hence, energy conservation has direct impact
on refinery's profits.
HPCL Refineries have accorded highest priority to energy conservation considering the
above mentioned system of production. Both the refineries have dedicated Energy
Conservation (ENCON) cell, consisting of Managers& Engineers to monitor ENCON
measures on a daily basis. To use energy optimally has been a constant endeavor of the
Corporation and several research and development initiatives have been undertaken to
achieve the optimal level. As a 21st century energy corporation HPCL upholds the
responsibility of leading the path of energy efficiency. The employees of the
corporation across all ranks have been educated to this effect and the upcoming
projects have all been tailored to be compatible with the corporation's energy efficiency
standards.
Various ENCON measures at HPCL Refineries:
1. Energy Conservation Measures implemented in the past include:

• Adoption of co-generation principle for generation of steam / power,
etc. which includes installation of FCCU CO - Boiler at Mumbai
Refinery
• Modernization of Fired Heaters
• Maximization of crude preheat by optimization of Heat Exchanger Train
using Pinch Technology
• Effective use of Waste Heat
• Modernization of Instrumentation and Advanced Control Strategies.
1. HPCL was one of the first oil companies in the country to initiate and
implement full-fledged automation of its offsite facilities at both the Refineries.
The facilities comprise of the following:
• Automation of tank gauging & inventory management system
• Advanced on - line blend control
• Continuous on - line monitoring of quality of critical products / streams
• Accurate measurement and monitoring of custody transfer operations
• Continuous monitoring of critical off - site transfer pumps
The Off site Automation facilities have been designed by HPCL to reduce loss,
enhance quality, optimize allocation of various refinery streams to produce the
final blended product , improve overall yield of distillation as well as product
accounting. The new projects have usually been implemented in multistage
processes taking updates from every step to avoid any untoward loss of
efficiency in the overall performance.
As part of these projects, customized software packages have been widely used
specially customized for use in refinery projects. The softwares have helped to
decide optimal crude mix based on prevailing prices & demand of various
products and optimize plant throughputs and product slate to get maximum
outputs within the stipulated capacity.
The projects implemented in recent years for the maintenance of energy
efficiency have been path breaking in the Indian perspective. HPCL has paved
the way for efficient production methods in the Indian context to be followed
by organizations for years to come.
2. A detailed Hydrocarbon loss study has been carried out by M/s British
Petroleum for Mumbai Refinery and the various recommendations have been
implemented.
3. A brief of the recently concluded equipment related energy conservation

activities at both Refineries is given below:
• Sonic Soot Blowers have been installed at boiler house for using the
kinetic energy of sound waves to avoid soot deposition. This results in
greater steam savings as compared to the conventional steam soot
blower.
• On - line oxygen analyzers on furnaces / boilers have been provided to
control excess air in the refineries. These instruments measure the
oxygen content of flue gas continuously. The checking of oxygen
content in flue gas helps in improving the furnace efficiencies.
• Ultrasonic Flare meters have been provided to measure the flow rates as
well as molecular weights of different hydrocarbons going to the flare.
This helps to identify the source, type and quantity of hydrocarbon
going to flare.
• Mass flow meters have been installed in various furnaces / heaters for
monitoring individual furnace fuel consumption.
• CCTV for round-the-clock viewing / controlling of flare stack has been
installed in both refineries.
• Electronic themoprobes have been installed for registering accurate tank
temperature from time to time. The accurate measurement of
temperature reduces the flaws in accounting due to faults in the reading
of temperature which were earlier reflected in hydrocarbon loss.
• A CO - Boiler is being installed as part of FCCU - I revamp under the
second Expansion Project of Visakh Refinery. The CO - Boiler will
recover heat from FCCU flue gas and the required amount of steam.
As a result of the above mentioned ENCON projects the Fuel & Loss for Visakh
Refinery has reduced from 7.46 wt% in 1985-86 to 5.4 wt% during 1999-2000.
Specific energy consumption has subsequently reduced from 242.4
MBTU/BBL/NRGF to 121.5 MBTU/BBL/NRGF during the same period.
There has been significant improvement in Mumbai Refinery in the same line and
currently the Fuel & Loss for Mumbai Refinery is restricted to 5.5 wt% (average given
for the last few years) and specific energy consumption is held at a steady 125.5
MBTU/BBL/NRGF. These figures represent efficiency levels compatible with the
international standard.
As a direct undertaking of the govt. of India the two refineries are subject to central
policies regarding petroleum products .Hence the drifting of energy intensive mode of
operation to the efficient variety reflects the country's commitment to the global energy
concerns. HPCL refineries have truly evolved as India’s modern hub for petroleum
products.

[edit] History
The 1860s saw vast industrial development. A lot of petroleum refineries came up. An important
player in the South Asian market then was the Burmah Oil Company Ltd. Though incorporated
in Scotland in 1886, the company grew out of the enterprises of the Rangoon Oil Company,
which had been formed in 1871 to refine crude oil produced from primitive hand dug wells in
Upper Burma.
The search for oil in India began in 1886, when Mr. Goodenough of McKillop Stewart
Company[1] drilled a well near Jaypore in upper Assam and struck oil. In 1889, the Assam
Railway and Trading Company (ARTC)[2] struck oil at Digboi marking the beginning of oil
production in India.
While discoveries were made and industries expanded, John D Rockefeller together with his
business associates acquired control of numerous refineries and pipelines to later form the giant
Standard Oil Trust. The largest rivals of Standard Oil - Royal Dutch, Shell, Rothschilds - came
together to form a single organisation: Asiatic Petroleum Company to market petroleum products
in South Asia.
In 1928, Asiatic Petroleum (India) joined hands with Burmah Oil Company - an active producer,
refiner and distributor of petroleum products, particularly in Indian and Burmese markets. This
alliance led to the formation of Burmah-Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Company of India
Limited. A pioneer in more ways than one, Burmah Shell began its operations with import and
marketing of Kerosene. This was imported in bulk and transported in 4 gallon and 1 gallon tins
through rail, road and country craft all over India. With motor cars, came canned Petrol, followed
by service stations. In the 1930s, retail sales points were built with driveways set back from the
road; service stations began to appear and became accepted as a part of road development. After
the war Burmah Shell established efficient and up-to-date service and filling stations to give the
customers the highest possible standard of service facilities.
[edit] From Burmah Shell to Bharat Petroleum
On 24 January 1976, the Burmah Shell Group of Companies was taken over by the Government
of India to form Bharat Refineries Limited. On 1 August 1977, it was renamed Bharat Petroleum
Corporation Limited. It was also the first refinery to process newly found indigenous crude
Bombay High, in the country.
[edit] Products
Bharat Petroleum produces a diverse range of products, from petrochemicals and solvents to
aircraft fuel and speciality lubricants and markets them through its wide network of Petrol
Stations, Kerosene Dealers, LPG Distributors, Lube Shoppes, besides supplying fuel directly to
hundreds of industries, and several international and domestic airlines.
[edit] Refineries
BPCL has Refineries at Mumbai and Kochi(Kochi Refineries) with a capacity of 12 Million
Metric Tonnes (MMT) and 7.5 MMTPA respectively for refining crude oil. BPCL's subsidiary at

Major International Projects

The Maldives Case Study
The tropical paradise of the Maldives comprises 1,190 coral islands, forming an
archipelago of 26 major atolls. Perfectly combining the sun, sand and sea, massive
lagoons, dazzling underwater coral gardens and a rich marine life, Maldives is the
destination of choice for thousands of scuba divers and snorkeling enthusiasts. Even as
tourists flock to its Robinson Crusoe islands, there is growing concern for the fragile
environment of this pristine land.
The Republic of Maldives was also the destination of choice for UNIDO Austria, for the
latter's program to propagate Renewable Energy Technologies in the Asian region.
Following extensive research to identify islands for propagating solar power, Tata BP Solar
proposed a complete package for a pilot project, on a supply and I&C basis. The pilot
system includes 5KWp Solar Power System and 3kW Wind Generator.
Connecting people in Bhutan & Afghanistan
In the picturesque Kingdom of Bhutan, a quiet revolution is taking place... a telecom

revolution linking remote and isolated hamlets together. Playing a significant role in this
revolution is Tata BP Solar, which has been chosen to supply Solar Power Systems for the
CORDECT Telecom network spread all over Bhutan. The CORDECT network includes VOIP,
Switching System, Backbone Network and Subscriber Terminals. The 410 kiloWatt (kW)
project was valued at approx 2.6 Million Euro.
A Project of Alcatel Contracting GmbH, Germany, funded by DANIDA, Denmark, the Solar
Power Systems have been used by Bhutan Telecom - a long-standing, satisfied customer
of Tata BP Solar. The order was won against stiff global competition.
After the Alcatel Order, Tata BP Solar was chosen to supply 55 nos. of Solar Power
Systems for the WLL Telecom network being set up to connect remote areas of
Afghanistan.
The landlocked mountainous country of Afghanistan is one of the world's least developed
countries. The political and military unrest, the severe drought, the earthquakes have all
aggravated the situation in this country. Rebuilding of telecommunication links is one of
the priority areas of the international efforts to rebuild Afghanistan.
The order has been awarded by UNDP / UNOPS (United Nation Development Program /
United Nations office for Project Services), a long-standing, satisfied customer of Tata BP
Solar. A complete design for a trial lot of 55 stations was proposed by Tata BP on a
supply basis only. UNDP technical staff would take care of the installation of these
systems.
Bridging the digital divide in the Emerald Isle
Many rural schools in Sri Lanka have no access to grid power. As a result children in
villages are deprived of IT education. The "SPACE (Solar Photovoltaic Aided Computer
Education) Project" is in synergy with the policy of the Sri Lankan Government to
empower rural schools with IT education.
Following detailed island-wide surveys over 18 months, jointly with government officials,
a complete package of Solar PV System and the required IT Peripherals were offered by
Tata BP Solar, along with Installation and commissioning support and a three year
warranty.
The pilot project, covering 100 schools in all provinces of Sri Lanka would expose over
75,000 primary students and an equal number of senior citizens to computers.
The order was supplied in a record time of 10 weeks!
TATA BP Solar Competition

Now Viewing TATA BP Solar's competition in: Lighting Equipment Manufacture
Recent Developments
Lighting Shipments/Orders Drop Due to Slow Housing Starts - Shipments and new orders of
US electric lighting equipment fell in April 2009 compared to the same time a year earlier.

SCCL
The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is a government-owned coal mining
company in India. One of the public sector undertakings, the company is jointly owned by the
Andhra Pradesh government (51 percent) and the Union Government (49 percent). The Union
Government's administration of the company is through the Ministry of Coal.
The company is involved in coal extraction in Andhra Pradesh, in the Pranhita-Godavari Valley
region, which has significant coal reserves, with proven geological reserves estimated at 8791
million tonnes.
SCCL was incorporated on December 23, 1920. It currently operates 13 open-pit and 42
underground mines in four districts, employing about 78,000 people.
Since 1889, a spark of enterprise has
evolved
into a force in modern mining.
.... fuelling growth over a century.
The Singareni Collieries Company Limited

(SCCL) is a Government coal mining company
jointly owned by the Government of Andhra
Pradesh and Government of India on a 51:49
equity basis. The Singareni coal reserves stretch
across 350 Km of the Pranahita – Godavari
Valley of Andhra Pradesh with a proven
geological reserves aggregating to whopping
8791 million tonnes. SCCL is currently
operating 13 opencast and 42 underground
mines in 4 districts of Andhra Pradesh with a
manpower around 78,000.
The Spirit of Singareni...

One Family One Vision One Mission
While historically technology has been a critical factor in SCCL's ability to reduce
environmental impacts and occupational hazards, the need to constantly increase
productivity and cut costs has demanded that the company goes in for phased mechanization
and adapts state-of-the-art technologies.
SCCL pioneered mechanization of coal mines in India by adopting coal drilling machines as
far back as in 1937. In 1950 Shuttle Cars, Gathering Arm Loaders, Conveyors and Coal
Plough Equipment were introduced. Later in a path breaking move to replace arduous
manual labour, Road Headers, Load Haul Dumpers and Side Dump Loaders were gradually
brought in.
Pioneer in technology upgradation

A combination of modern machines in Open Cast Mining like Walking Draglines, Shovels and High Capacit
Dumpers were introduced in 1975. In-pit Crushing and Conveyor technology for Over Burden removal and c
extraction was commissioned for the first time in Ramagundam Open Cast Mine with German assistance in 1
In 2002, Surface Miner Technology which not only facilitates cost reduction but also contributes to eco frien
mining, was introduced for the first time. Longwall technology in Under Ground Mining in 1983 and also Bl
Gallery (BG) Technology in 1989 were other notable introductions. Today, with 4 Longwall Panels and 5 BG
Panels working in the company, mechanization of Under Ground Mines is being planned with state-of-the-ar
technologies like Continuous Miner and Punch Longwall. Already the mechanization of Under Ground Mini
seen the commissioning of 104 Side Discharge Loaders and 37 Load Haul Dumpers that have enhanced safe
productivity during the last four years. Other innovations in Under Ground Mines are 35 man-riding systems
(chairlift and railcar) that have improved transportation inside the mines.
From Heritage to Hi-tech:
In a state that is fast emerging as the IT hub of the country and hosts one of the Asia's largest
Technology Parks, it was but natural that IT entered the realm of mining as well. And SCCL
made a head start in harnessing the benefits of IT by developing proprietary software for
integrated Open Cast and Under Ground Mine Management Systems.
From automating the Personnel Records to Material Management Systems, many new
measures were initiated in the IT sphere to improve productivity. To stay in tune with the
online world, and keep customers and other stakeholders informed about the developments
in SCCL, the company launched its website www.scclmines.com.
Initiatives that have cemented SCCL's strength in IT are Video Conferencing, Integrated
Mine Management Applications and e-procurement. Digitization of mine plans by Minex
Software was yet another major initiative. This software supports core areas of geological
data management, opencast and underground mine design and scheduling.
Other IT initiatives that are on the anvil or are being implemented on an experimental basis
include the use of Satellite based communication systems for monitoring Heavy Earth
Moving Machinery using Global Positioning Systems and Biometric based Attendance
Monitoring Systems. A dedicated cross-functional team forms the core of the Software
Development Group to provide in-house software solutions and the company is all set to
become an ERP based company in the coming years.
Responsible Mining. Planned Restoration:
We care
While the benefits of coal are countless, Coal Mining is an inherently environment
damaging and degrading activity. Realizing this, SCCL has launched a number of 'eco-
friendly practices' to mitigate the damage to environment and improve the quality of
life. In all mining areas extensive green belts have been developed, and monitoring of
air and water quality is done on a regular basis to assess the impact of mining on the
environment and corrective steps are being implemented immediately. Opencast Mines
are being restored to pre-mining conditions.
To encourage plantation and social forestry, free saplings are supplied to all the
employees before the onset of monsoon. To reduce air pollution and also meet the
social obligations of SCCL, the company supplies free LPG to its employees. SCCL is
perhaps the only PSU to have introduced 'environment' as part of the curriculum in all
its schools. In another innovative move, company has also introduced Eco Samman
Awards to motivate employees who contribute to all round improvement of the
environment.
A number of other key initiatives taken in the last four years include setting up of Sewage
Treatment Plants, Effluent Treatment Plants, Bio-engineering of Over Burdens, Clonal
Plantations, Medicinal Plantations and development of Eco-parks for which the company
was conferred the Golden Peacock Award from the Institute of Directors in 2005 and
became the first Coal Company in the country to bag this prestigious honour. The company
also bagged the "National Fly Ash Utilization Award” in 2005 for its unique contributions
towards Fly Ash Utilization. SCCL has for the first time also brought out a book titled "Eco-
friendly Coal Mining - The Singareni Approach" highlighting the various innovative
practices initiated at SCCL for environmentally sustainable coal mining.
SCCL’s HR Planning initiatives:
The Company's HR Planning Initiative, with an annual spend of over Rs. 14 Crores, aims at
Training and Development of all its human assets. With a well established HR Department
and 10 Vocational Training Centers and the Nargundkar Institute of Management at
Ramagundam (a full fledged training institute), imparting of in-house training and skill
upgradation is a constant activity at SCCL.
Role of SCCL in Corporate Social Responsibility:
Community Development activities got an impetus when a social service organization -

Singareni Seva Samithi (SSS) was formed by SCCL under the AP Public Societies Act.
Training of unemployed youth and educating the families of workmen on the need to
channelise their energies towards constructive activities is the basic purpose and philosophy
of the Samithi. Towards this noble goal the SSS provides training in skill development to
youth for recruitment in the Army, the Police and the Railways. The samithi also works
innovatively on spreading awareness of AIDS, alcoholism and the benefits of thrift and small
savings.
In collaboration with the workmen and the Trade Unions, SSS has started extending its
activities to the surrounding villages of the Coal Mining areas, and has been contributing to
the development of these villages. Realizing what self employment does to empower
dependent women, SCCL has not only been helping them acquire skills in applied crafts but
also in facilitating them to set up their own enterprises. SSS has also been working towards
making every workers' spouse literate.
The Samithi's singular and dedicated efforts have yielded exemplary

results
• 442 Singareni Employees' children being recruited for the Army, Police
and Para Military Forces.
• Around 34,000 illiterate workmen have been made literate.
• More than 4,400 youth have been imparted Vocational Training.

LIGNITE DEPOSIT IN NEYVELI:
Lignite is the younger offspring of the coal family. It is a fossil fuel belonging to the
Miocene age (25 million years). Popularly known as “Brown Coal”, lignite is tan
brown in colour, light to handle and brittle in nature. This fuel is born from
vegetable matter having undergone bio-chemical decay to the stage of peat (rotten
wood) and then metamorphosed to lignite under the pressure of the soil above
through floods, movements of the earth’s crust and dehydration when the pressure
of the lignite, particularly the horizontal thrust is further increased, lignite is made
more dense, less volumetric and becomes coal as such.
The lignite mined at Neyveli varies in colour from brown to dark brown and has a
non-bonded granular structure. Microscopic studies of this sections prepared from
bulk samples of lignite indicate that the fuel is composed of a wide variety of plant
ingradients, mainly of coniferous nature.
Quality of Lignite:
Lignite contains 65-70% of carbon, 20-25% of oxygen, about 5% of hydrogen and
small amounts of nitrogen and sulphur. The average calorific value of lignite is 2400
K.cal/Kg. It cannot be compared favourably with the high calorific value of pure
coal. Yet lignite has an advantage of being free burning (non coking), of having low
ash and of giving rapid and complete combustion. Since the volatile matter is
usually high, lignite burns readily. Air dried lignite is quite suitable for direct
burning. For high capacity boilers lignite can be burnt in the pulverized form.

Cutting resistance Grindability

compressive Index
Strength 25 to 75 Kg/sq.cm
Some of the unique characteristic features of the Neyveli Lignite Mine are:
Occurrent of Ground water Aquifer below lignite bed: Huge reservoir of ground
water occurs below the entire lignite bed, exerting an upward pressure of 6 to 8
kg/cm2. Unless this water pressure is reduced before mining, it will burst the lignite
seam and flood the Mines. The problem is solved by selective bore wells formation
and pumping to depressurise the water pressure to the safe mining condition. The
water is being used for the TPS water requirement. The water level is continuously
monitored through observation wells for proper ground water management.
Hard overburden strata:

The highly consolidated strata consists mainly of Cuddalore strand stone which is
hard and abrasive in nature. The Bucket wheel used for handling large volume of
overburdens faced problems due to the hard strata and uses overcome by carrying
out suitable modification in the bucket wheel teeth and by instituting a systematic
drilling and shatter blasting programme.
MINE – I
Demarcated over an area of 26.69 sq.kms. with a reserve of 365 million tones.
Mine-I is situated on the northern part of the field adjacent to the Neyveli Township.
This mine has a production capacity of 10.5 million tones of lignite per annum and
feeds lignite to the 600 MW capacity of First Thermal Power Station and 420MW
Thermal Power Station – I Expansion.
The lignite seam was first exposed in August 1961 and regular mining of lignite
commenced in May 1962. German Excavation technology in opencast mining, using
Bucket Wheel Excavators, Conveyors and Spreaders is used in this Mine for the first
time in India. While overburden thickness varies from 50-95 metres, lignite
thickness varies from 10 to 23 metres. The overburden to lignite ratio in this mine is
5.5 to 5 c.metre to one time (about 11 times of overburden is to be removed for
mining one tonne of lignite).

Storm Water Management:

Neyveli mines are located in predominantly monsoonic and cyclonic area where the
average rainfall in a year is about 1200 mm and the wind velocity goes up to 160
km per hour Heavy rain flood the open pit bottoms and these difficulties are met by
evacuating the flood water through float pump mounted on floating pontoons.
