NTPC Submits Two Proposals in Second Round of Rs 37,500 Crore Coal Gasification Scheme
NTPC Limited submitted two proposals in the second round of the government's Rs 37,500 crore coal gasification scheme to produce urea, methanol, and dimethyl ether. The scheme aims to promote domestic production of industrial feedstocks and reduce import dependence. Despite seven applications in the first round, only NTPC applied in the second, highlighting investment challenges such as financing and assured demand. The third round opened on November 10, with a January 11, 2027 deadline, seeking broader industry participation to meet India's 2030 coal gasification targets.
