Star Rating Registration Process For Coal Mines

News: The start of the Star Rating Registration process for Coal and Lignite Mines for the fiscal year 2022–2023 has been announced by the Ministry of Coal.

The Star Rating policy aims to assess mines based on different aspects of seven key parameters, including mining operations, environmental parameters, adoption of technologies, best mining practises, economic performance, rehabilitation and resettlement, worker-related compliance, and safety and security.

Following a self-evaluation process, participating miners will be further validated by committee inspections for the top 10% of performers.

Everyone who participates can help with the evaluation by reviewing other mines while the remaining 90% of the mines will go via an online review process.

The Coal Controller’s Organisation will carry out the evaluation.

The evaluations, which range from Five Stars to NO Stars, thoroughly assess the accomplishments of each mine.

It aims to promote competition among mines and recognise their exceptional performance based on adherence to legal requirements, adoption of cutting-edge mining technology, and financial successes.
