Risk Management
Proactively mitigating threats
We have established a robust risk management framework to effectively
address and mitigate potential risks. The framework encompasses
various mechanisms for defining, prioritising, and formulating contingency
strategies to tackle risks. It outlines the roles, responsibilities, and duties
of different authorities, committees, and the Board in executing risk
management procedures. A comprehensive Risk Management Calendar is
followed to ensure periodic monitoring and evaluation of risks.

Also, Ind AS 16 stated that the stripping activity has to be recognized

The Accounting Policy of Coal India Limited (CIL) and its subsidiaries
related to Stripping Activity Adjustment stipulates that in the mines
with rated capacity of one million tonne per annum and above, the cost
of Stripping is charged on technically evaluated average stripping ratio
(OB: COAL) at each mine with due adjustment for stripping activity
assets and ratio variance account after the mines are brought to
revenue. Net of balances of stripping activity asset and ratio variance

continuing with the present system of OBR assessment is in deviation

274 Coal India Limited Integrated Annual Report 2022-23
Strengths
• Geographical spread of operations in India allows proximity to a large and diversified customer base.
• Consistent track record of growth & strong track record of financial performance.
Weaknesses
• Evacuation infrastructure bottleneck in certain areas due to land, statutory clearance and Law & Order issues.
Threats
• Pressure of international body like UN to comply Paris Agreement & COP26 at Glasgow on climate change to curb use
of fossil fuel.
• Possibility of availability of low cost imported coal may significantly affect future of indigenous production.
• Increase in proportion of renewables in the energy mix and demand stagnation in future.
• Resistance to part with land, creating problems in possession of land and rehabilitation; Rapid appreciation in land cost.
Opportunities
• Being a cheaper source of energy compared to alternate sources available in India, coal to remain key primary energy
source.
• Strong economic growth in India and resultant demand for energy, particularly coal as an energy source.
• Large scale Rural electrification and Power for All UDAY scheme.
• Opportunity to diversify its operation into solar sector for having significant presence in India’s overall energy mix.

Table below shows judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a)
recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the
financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company
has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes Mutual fund which is
valued using closing Net Asset Value (NAV) as at the reporting date.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation
techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If
all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level
3. This is the case for investments, security deposits and other liabilities included in level 3.
Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include the use of quoted market prices (NAV) of instruments in
respect of investment in Mutual Funds.
(e) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, short term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables are considered
to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The Company considers that the Security Deposits does not include a significant financing component. The security
deposits coincide with the company’s performance and the contract requires amounts to be retained for reasons other
than the provision of finance. The withholding of a specified percentage of each milestone payment is intended to
protect the interest of the company, from the contractor failing to adequately complete its obligations under the contract.
Accordingly, transaction cost of Security deposit is considered as fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured
at amortised cost.
Significant estimates: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using
valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a method and makes suitable assumptions at the end of
each reporting period.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Company’s senior management is supported by a risk committee that advises, inter alia, on
financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The risk committee provides assurance
to the Board of Directors that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and
that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The
Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.
002-115 116-332 333-513
The Company risk management is carried out by the board of directors as per DPE guidelines issued by Government of India.
The board provides written principles for overall risk management as well as policies covering investment of excess liquidity.
A. Credit Risk:
Receivables arise mainly out of sale of Coal. Sale of Coal is broadly categorized as sale through fuel supply agreements
(FSAs) and e-auction.
Macro - economic information (such as regulatory changes) is incorporated as part of the fuel supply agreements (FSAs)
and e-auction terms
As contemplated in and in accordance with the terms of the New Coal Distribution Policy (NCDP), the company enters into
legally enforceable FSAs with customers or with State Nominated Agencies that in turn enters into appropriate distribution
arrangements with end customers. Our FSAs can be broadly categorized into:
• FSAs with customers in the power utilities sector, including State power utilities, private power utilities (“PPUs”) and
independent power producers (“IPPs”);
• FSAs with customers in non-power industries (including captive power plants (“CPPs”)); and
E-Auction Scheme
The E-Auction scheme of coal has been introduced to provide access to coal for customers who were not able to source
their coal requirement through the available institutional mechanisms under the NCDP for various reasons, for example,
due to a less than full allocation of their normative requirement under NCDP, seasonality of their coal requirement and
limited requirement of coal that does not warrant a long-term linkage. The quantity of coal to be offered under E-Auction is
reviewed from time to time by the Ministry of Coal.
Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company.
Provision for expected credit loss: Company provides for expected credit risk loss for doubtful/ credit impaired assets,
by lifetime expected credit losses (Simplified approach). Refer Note - 13, Trade Receivables
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and
expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment
calculation, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the
end of each reporting period.
392 Coal India Limited Integrated Annual Report 2022-23

charge on plant and equipment and movable assets of the 100 MW Solar Project of the Company in Gujarat.
C. Market risk
Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets or liabilities denominated
in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency(INR).The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk
arising from foreign currency transactions. Foreign exchange risk in respect of foreign operation is considered to be
insignificant. The Company also imports and risk is managed by regular follow up. Company has a policy which is
implemented when foreign currency risk becomes significant.
The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from bank deposits with change in interest rate, exposes the Company to
cash flow interest rate risk. Company policy is to maintain most of its deposits at fixed rate.
Company manages the risk using guidelines issued by Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) on diversification of
bank deposits credit limits and other securities.

Amortised cost FVTPL Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous
amortized cost and fair value is recognised in P&L.
FVTPL Amortised Cost Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount. EIR
is calculated based on the new gross carrying amount.
Amortised cost FVTOCI Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous
amortised cost and fair value is recognised in OCI. No change in EIR due to
reclassification.
FVTOCI Amortised cost Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new amortised cost carrying

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes Mutual fund which is
valued using closing Net Asset Value (NAV) as at the reporting date.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation
techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If
all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level
3. This is the case for investments , security deposits and other liabilities included in level 3.
Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include the use of quoted market prices (NAV) of instruments in
respect of investment in Mutual Funds.
At present there are no fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.
(e) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, short term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables are considered
to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The Group considers that the Security Deposits does not include a significant financing component. Security deposits
coincide with the company’s performance and the contract requires amounts to be retained for reasons other than the provision of
finance. The withholding of a specified percentage of each milestone payment is intended to protect the interest of the group, from
the contractor failing to adequately complete its obligations under the contract. Accordingly, transaction cost of Security deposit is
considered as fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Significant estimates: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using
valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a method and makes suitable assumptions at the end of each reporting
period.
The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is
to finance the Group’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Group’s principal financial assets
include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that is derived directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management
of these risks. The Group’s senior management is supported by a risk committee that advises, inter alia, on financial risks and
the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The risk committee provides assurance to the Board of
Directors that the Group’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks
are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
002-115 116-332 333-513
The Group risk management is carried out by the board of directors as per DPE guidelines issued by Government of India. The
board provides written principles for overall risk management as well as policies covering investment of excess liquidity.
Receivables arise mainly out of sale of Coal. Sale of Coal is broadly categorized as sale through fuel supply agreements (FSAs)
and e-auction.
Macro - economic information (such as regulatory changes) is incorporated as part of the fuel supply agreements (FSAs) and
e-auction terms.
As contemplated in and in accordance with the terms of the New Coal Distribution Policy (NCDP), the group enters into
legally enforceable FSAs with customers or with State Nominated Agencies that in turn enters into appropriate distribution
arrangements with end customers. FSAs can be broadly categorized into:
• FSAs with customers in the power utilities sector, including State power utilities, private power utilities (“PPUs”) and
independent power producers (“IPPs”);
• FSAs with customers in non-power industries (including captive power plants (“CPPs”); and
E-Auction Scheme
The E-Auction scheme of coal has been introduced to provide access to coal for customers who were not able to source their coal
requirement through the available institutional mechanisms under the NCDP for various reasons, for example, due to a less than full
allocation of their normative requirement under NCDP, seasonality of their coal requirement and limited requirement of coal that does
not warrant a long-term linkage. The quantity of coal to be offered under E-Auction is reviewed from time to time by the Ministry of Coal.
Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the group.
Provision for expected credit loss: The Group provides for expected credit risk loss for doubtful/ credit impaired assets, by
lifetime expected credit losses (Simplified approach). Refer Note - 13, Trade Receivables
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected
loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based
on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting year.

commissioning of the respective power plant, increase/decrease of fuel components of tariff due to variation in fuel cost
shall be determined. The initial price of rejects as per clause 1.14 of PPA was H 90 per tonne.

revision in price of rejects net off with additional tariff payable on account of revised tariff due to increase in fuel cost had
been considered in the Financial Statements for the year 2013-14 and supplementary bill to EIPL had also been raised.
