The Indian Ministry of Coal has initiated a new drive to accelerate the development of coal gasification projects across the country. The ministry has officially invited applications from interested companies, signaling a significant push to enhance domestic production of gasified coal.
The initiative’s primary objective is to achieve a production target of 100 million tonnes of gasified coal by the year 2030. To encourage participation and investment, the scheme outlines provisions for substantial financial incentives for eligible projects. This move is expected to stimulate private sector involvement and capital deployment in a critical energy sector.
The application process is now open, and companies looking to develop coal gasification facilities are encouraged to submit their proposals. The financial support mechanism aims to de-risk investments and make these advanced projects more viable, aligning with India’s broader energy security and industrial growth strategies.
