Nagpur, is famous for its oranges & soya wine, but apart from this, Nagpur city has carved a niche in energy production as well. It is main coal producing district of the country. According to an estimate, out of the total coal reserves of the country, Maharashtra has reserves of 11 billion metric tonnes of coal which is more than 90% in the area of Nagpur and its surroundings. Western Coalfields Limited, one of the Zonal headquarter of Coal India Limited, has its head office in NagpurAccording to a report based on the industries, the demand for electricity in India is likely to reach around 1600 billion units by 2022; obviously coal-based power generation will play an important role in this demand. In the last few years due to the concerns of the environmentalists on Supreme Court decisions and coal-based power generation, Nagpur's coal mines have not been able to produce full capacity, but it is certain that in order to fulfill the energy needs of the country, Coal Mines will continue to make significant contributions to the country's economy for a long time, says Padmesh Gupta.Mr. Padmesh Gupta, Nagpur has always supported the privatization of this sector so that the coal production is expedited in India. Company has always strive to cope up with the demands of coal since he has taken control of the Gupta Coal. Company has strive to uphold all the sectors that they are dealing in by keeping quality as its focal point. Padmesh Gupta, Nagpur has always been an activist and a supporter for environment protection . Like many industrialist Mr. Padmesh Gupta Nagpur says and believes that "mining and minerals industry is now under pressure to improve its social, developmental, and environmental performance. Like other parts of the corporate world, companies are more routinely expected to perform higher standards , going well beyond achieving the best rate of return for shareholders. They are also increasingly being asked to be more open and subject to third-party audit or review". Adding further Padmesh Gupta Nagpur says "Giving back to society and mother Earth should now drive the Mining industry" .Indian has an abundance of coal resources, and the biggest reserve which is about 11 billion metric tonnes is in Maharashtra. 90% of this reserve happens to be concentrated in Nagpur and the surrounding areas of it. Named as the 'Miniratna' by the Indian Government the Western Coalfields Limited which is located in Nagpur is one of the eight subsidiary company of CIL (Coal India Limited). Although in the year 2018 Western Coalfields showed an increase in their coal production after a negative production for continuous five years, their production isn't enough to compensate the growing demand of coal in India says Padmesh Gupta, Nagpur .A report predicts that the by the year 2022 the demand for electricity in India will go up to about 1600 billion units. About 81% of the entire electricity that is generated in India comes from coal. Coal lies in abundance in India in different belts and all that needs to be done is unearthed to get it in use.Despite renewable being talked about as the future source of energy it is impossible to do without coal says Padmesh Gupta . The renewal capacity of both wind and solar energy combined together cannot be more than 40%. Coal is important, and we need it to meet the demands of the Indian population. The abundance in which it is available alone makes it one of the most significant fuels. Although the share of coal in total capacity is 62% its share in generation happens to be 80%.When we speak about the power, the instant thing that comes to our mind in its production is coal. For India, it has always been as one of the main raw materials to generate power. The demand for electricity has always been more than the production of coal in the past 10 years, and it is high time that the production was increased to meet the high demands. Coal alone goes into the production of electricity so extensively that other uses for it haven't been thought about.Presently the total coal reserve in India is about 300 billion tonnes. Considering the fact that about 50% of it can be mined and 1 billion tonnes is consumed annually then the total coal will last for 150 years. Nature has blessed the Indian soil with a lot of fossil fuel . Thus it remains to the coal production companies to uphold the production to meet the current demand, says Padmesh Gupta, Nagpur . Proper production by companies will not only help in addressing the demand and but also enable it to be sold at fair prices in the market.Media Contact:Padmesh Gupta, Chairman, contact@padmeshgupta.com
