Ministry of Coal releases draft RFPs for coal gasification projects in India

Financial scheme offers grants to PSUs and private investors; stakeholder feedback invited until March 20.

 The Ministry of Coal has taken a significant step by issuing three draft Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to solicit feedback from interested Government PSUs and Private Investors for the establishment of coal gasification plants in India. This move comes in the wake of the Cabinet’s approval of a financial assistance scheme, allocating ₹ 8500 crores for incentives towards coal gasification projects, categorised into three categories.
