NTPC Submits Two Proposals Under Government's Coal Gasification Scheme
NTPC Limited has submitted two proposals under the government's Rs 37,500 crore coal gasification scheme to produce urea, methanol, and dimethyl ether. The Ministry of Coal announced the third round of applications opened on November 10, with a January 11, 2027 deadline. While the first round saw seven applications, the second round received only two from NTPC, highlighting investment challenges such as financing and assured demand. The scheme aims to boost domestic production and diversify coal utilization, targeting 100 million tonnes of coal gasification by 2030.
