New Delhi, Deb 20 The Ministry of Coal is planning to hold an interaction with industry leaders in Mumbai on Wednesday as part of a roadshow for the promotion of coal/lignite gasification projects nationwide.

This event aims to nurture the growth and widespread adoption of coal/lignite gasification projects throughout the country. It signifies a notable stride towards leveraging the abundant coal and lignite resources to propel sustainable energy initiatives in India, the Coal Ministry said on Tuesday. An earlier interaction was held with captains of Industry in Hyderabad which the ministry termed as “successful” as it elicited a lot of enthusiasm.

The Centre has approved an investment outlay of Rs 8,500 crore scheme for coal/lignite gasification projects under three categories that include Government PSU’s, Private Players as well as Small Scale Projects. The scheme forms part of the government's vision to diversify energy sources, lessen reliance on imported fuels, and mitigate environmental impact through cleaner technologies.

Secretary, Ministry of Coal, Amrit Lal Meena, will be the Chief Guest for the event.

The Ministry of Coal has given an open invitation to all interested stakeholders to join the event for drawing up coal gasification plans.
