Coal Ministry rejects ‘No Takers’ claim, says TFL, NTPC apply for gasification scheme
The Coal Ministry rejected reports that its coal/lignite gasification incentive scheme had found 'no takers', clarifying that firms including Talcher Fertilisers Ltd (TFL) and NTPC have applied. TFL is already implementing a coal-based ammonia-urea gasification complex, which is expected to be commissioned in FY 2027-28. The clarification counters claims of weak industry interest in the scheme.
