The strike has mainly affected Bharat Coking Coal, Mahanadi Coalfields and Western Coalfields. South Eastern Coalfields (SECL) was partly affected with mining coming to a halt at Gebra Dipca and Kushmunda mines. The government is tagetting to raise about Rs 22,500 crore 2014-15 via the proposed follow-on public offer of Coal India — the mainstay of its disinvestment plan for the year — with the targetted proceeds from PSU stake sales estimated at Rs 43,425 crore. Also, the coal Ordinance issued recently contained an enabling provision for allowing commercial coal mining by the private sector. Although it was estimated that a day's strike could result in a loss of production of 1.3-1.5 MT a day, Sutirtha Bhattacharya, the newly-appointed CMD of CIL, said the impact of Tuesday's reduced attendance of workers on production could not be assessed immediately.
