Speedy project approvals, assured buyers key to India's 100 MT coal gasification target by 2030

India has set a target to gasify 100 million tonnes of coal by 2030 with significant investments. The coal ministry estimates the investment required will be between Rs 2.5 and 3 lakh crore. A streamlined single-window approval process is essential to facilitate this ambitious project. Coal gasification is expected to reduce India's import dependence on methanol and natural gas.
