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