Seven Applications Received for India’s Rs 37,500 Crore Coal Gasification Scheme
The Indian government’s Rs 37,500 crore coal gasification scheme received seven applications in its first round, including three from Adani Enterprises and others from NTPC, Talcher Fertilisers, Gallantt Ispat, and Shyam Sel Power. The scheme aims to convert domestic coal into higher-value products like urea, syngas, and synthetic natural gas, reducing import dependence. Approved in May 2026, it targets 100 million tonnes of coal gasification capacity by 2030, with detailed evaluations underway and subsequent application rounds planned.
