Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited celebrated Nation’s 62nd Republic Day with great fervour and enthusiasm at Neyveli. AR Ansari, CMD of NLC Ltd, garlanded the bust of Mahatma Gandhi at the Township Administrative Office premises and inaugurated the daylong celebrations.

He inspected the ceremonial parade and accepted the guard of honour presented by Rifle, Commando, Fire Service Units of Central Industrial Security Force, NLC’s Security Force, Fire Services, Home Guards, Scout and Guides, NSS, NCC Volunteers and Schools’ and College students.
In his Republic Day Address, he pointed out that India is the largest democratic country in the world and in the eyes of International Community India would be considered as the economic power to reckon with in future.
He said that India has the consistent growth of 8.5 per cent and towards the development of the Nation, he wanted NLC to put forth the best efforts in improving the performance. He also said that in making our country economically strong, PSUs should have a lead role.
During the year 2010-11, NLC’s Mine-II and TPS-II have performed well by achieving the MoU level targets. Mine-I’s results have to be introspected due to its related problems in the mining operations. Mine-IA has shown good results only in overburden removal. With monsoon affecting NLC’s mining operations, its monsoon production plan is being made ready to tackle the same.
He hoped that NLC’s mining Engineers would come up suitable plans to meet the targets and would not allow the generation to reduced on account of lignite supply. He pointed out that growth is essential not only for the profits but also for survival in the long run.
He mentioned that NLC is moving towards coal based power generation in addition to lignite based power generation.
