New Delhi: Discussions on expanding the use of coal gasification technology in India are gaining momentum as the country looks to harness its domestic coal resources more efficiently while strengthening energy security and technological self-reliance.
A high-level interaction was held with leading coal gasification technology provider companies, along with senior officials of the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, to review the evolving technology landscape and explore opportunities for wider deployment of coal gasification projects across the country.
The discussions focused on the latest technological developments in coal gasification, the capabilities of technology providers, and the scope for developing and adopting indigenous solutions suited to India's specific coal characteristics and industrial requirements.
Focus on Indigenous Coal Gasification Technology

Participants highlighted the importance of strengthening India's domestic technological capabilities in coal gasification. Developing home-grown technologies could help reduce dependence on imported solutions while creating new opportunities for Indian companies, research institutions and industries.
Advanced coal gasification technologies can potentially support the conversion of coal into syngas, which can be used as an intermediate for producing chemicals, fuels, fertilisers and other industrial products.
The meeting also examined the need to adopt technologies that are technically viable, economically competitive and suitable for India's diverse coal resources.
Boost to Atmanirbhar Bharat

Greater deployment of suitable technologies could help India make more efficient use of its abundant coal reserves while supporting domestic manufacturing and reducing dependence on imported feedstocks and technologies in selected sectors.
The initiative is aligned with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promote self-reliance, technological innovation and stronger domestic industrial capabilities.
Technology and Energy Security
The growing focus on coal gasification reflects India's efforts to diversify the utilisation of coal beyond conventional power generation. The technology has the potential to open new pathways for coal-based production of industrial feedstocks and value-added products.
Experts and policymakers are therefore placing emphasis on technological innovation, indigenous research and development, efficient project implementation and environmental considerations as India evaluates wider adoption of coal gasification.
The interaction with technology providers and senior Ministry of Coal officials is expected to contribute to the development of a stronger ecosystem for advanced and indigenous coal gasification technologies, supporting India's long-term energy and industrial objectives.
