Reliance Industries Proposes Rs 2.73 Lakh Crore Coal Gasification Project in Andhra Pradesh
Reliance Industries has proposed investing approximately Rs 2.73 lakh crore over 30 years to develop India's first integrated underground coal gasification complex in Andhra Pradesh's Eluru district. The project will utilize deep coal reserves in the Chintalapudi and Recherla blocks, acquired through government auctions, to produce synthetic gas. Exploration is set to begin later this year, with investment planned in phases. The initiative aims to support India's clean energy transition, reduce reliance on imported feedstock, and generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs.
