Cabinet to Approve Rs 37,500 Crore Incentive Scheme for Coal Gasification Projects

The Indian Cabinet is expected to soon approve a Rs 37,500 crore incentive scheme to promote coal gasification projects, aiming to boost clean energy production and reduce import dependence on commodities like LNG, urea, and ammonia. The unified scheme offers up to Rs 3,000 crore per project, supporting a national target of 100 million tonnes coal gasification capacity by 2030. This initiative responds to recent global supply disruptions and seeks to enhance domestic coal utilization for fuels and chemicals.
