Coal Ministry rejects ‘No Takers’ claim, says TFL, NTPC apply for gasification scheme

Talcher Fertilisers is already working on implementing a coal-based ammonia-urea gasification complex, which is expected to be commissioned in FY 2027-28. The clarification counters reports of weak industry uptake.
