Captive means the Locked Up and captive mining means coal production is locked up for the specific needs of the country. 85 % of the coal consumption is in power sector. The coal mines are owned by the State and the Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act 1973 restricts the entry of the private players. The Coal production all over India during the period April 2011 to December, 2011has been 363.79 Million tonnes (Provisional) as compared to the production of 373.58 million tonnes (MT) during the corresponding period of the previous year showing a growth of -2.6%.( Data from MOC annual report 2011-2012)
