The Ministry of Coal is organizing a roadshow on coal and lignite gasification projects in Hyderabad on June 11, 2026, following a successful previous event in New Delhi. The roadshow aims to build momentum for India's coal gasification ecosystem and highlight emerging opportunities in this strategic sector.
Union Minister of Coal and Mines Shri G. Kishan Reddy will serve as Chief Guest, while Minister of State for Coal and Mines Shri Satish Chandra Dubey will attend as Guest of Honour. The event will also feature Shri Vikram Dev Dutt (Secretary, Ministry of Coal), Shri Sanoj Kumar Jha (Additional Secretary, Ministry of Coal), senior ministry officials, and representatives from central and state governments, coal and lignite companies, technology providers, industry associations, investors, and other key stakeholders.
Coal gasification is described as a transformative technology that converts coal into synthesis gas (syngas), which can be utilized for producing value-added products including methanol, ammonium nitrate, synthetic natural gas, and various industrial chemicals. The Government of India has undertaken policy initiatives and incentive measures to promote coal gasification to enhance energy security, reduce import dependence, and diversify the utilization of domestic coal resources.
The roadshow will serve as a platform for discussions on policy support, technological innovations, investment opportunities, and project implementation strategies. It aims to bring together policymakers, industry leaders, technology providers, and investors to explore collaborative pathways for accelerating coal and lignite gasification project development across India. The event is expected to strengthen stakeholder engagement, facilitate strategic partnerships, and support creating a robust coal gasification ecosystem in line with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat through enhanced energy security and sustainable resource utilization.
