fortuneindia.comIndia is launching a 37,500-crore rupee initiative to scale coal and lignite gasification. The goal is to replace expensive imports of LNG, urea, and ammonia with domestically produced syngas, utilizing the country's vast coal reserves to improve energy security. Success depends on overcoming technical hurdles related to high-ash Indian coal. The government is providing incentives for plant machinery and long-term coal linkages to attract up to 3 lakh crore rupees in private and public investment by 2030.
