The Coal Ministry rejected claims that its coal gasification scheme had 'no takers', stating that Talcher Fertilisers Ltd (TFL) and NTPC had applied for support. TFL is already implementing a coal-based ammonia-urea gasification complex, expected to be commissioned in FY 2027-28. Coal gasification is promoted to convert domestic coal into value-added chemicals and reduce import dependence.
