India Launches Rs. 37,500-Crore Coal Gasification Scheme to Boost Energy Self-Reliance
The Indian government has approved a Rs. 37,500-crore Scheme for Promotion of Surface Coal Lignite Gasification Projects to advance energy self-reliance. Aiming to gasify 75 million tonnes of coal and lignite by 2030, the scheme offers incentives and extended coal linkage tenures to encourage investment and indigenous technology. The initiative is expected to attract Rs. 2.5-3 lakh crore in investments, create around 50,000 jobs, and build on an earlier Rs. 8,500-crore scheme supporting eight ongoing projects.
