New Delhi, May 27 (PTI) The government will hold a roadshow on Thursday to promote its newly launched Rs 37,500 crore incentive scheme to promote surface coal and lignite gasification projects.
“The Ministry of Coal is gearing up to organise a roadshow tomorrow on scheme for promotion of surface coal/lignite gasification projects, launched with a financial outlay of Rs 37,500 crore,” an official statement said.
The initiative marks a significant step towards promoting coal gasification as a cleaner and value-added pathway for the efficient utilisation of the country’s vast coal and lignite resources.
The roadshow is being organised as part of the ministry’s continued efforts to accelerate the development of a robust coal gasification ecosystem
in the country.
The event will bring together policymakers, state officials, industry leaders, investors, technology providers, financial institutions, and other key stakeholders to deliberate on emerging opportunities, partnerships, and the future roadmap for coal gasification in India.
The scheme marks a major step towards achieving the national target of gasifying 100 million tonnes (MT) of coal by 2030.
It is expected to strengthen India’s energy security and reduce dependence on imports of key commodities, such as LNG, urea, ammonia, and methanol. PTI SID TRB
