NLC_India Reliance_Industries Gujarat lignite gasification
Analysis based on 8 articles · First reported May 31, 2026 · Last updated May 31, 2026
This joint venture between India>>> and Reliance Industries>>> is expected to positively impact the energy and chemical sectors in India>>> by boosting domestic fuel supply and reducing reliance on imported commodities like Liquefied natural gas>>>, Methanol>>>, Ammonia>>>, and Urea>>>. The increased domestic production of synthesis gas could lead to greater energy security and potentially stabilize prices for related industrial inputs.
India>>> and Reliance Industries>>> have formed a joint venture to explore an underground lignite gasification project in India — Gujarat>>>. This initiative aims to convert lignite reserves into synthesis gas, which can be used as fuel or feedstock for chemical and fertilizer industries. The project is a strategic move to augment domestic gasified fuel supplies, address gas shortages, and reduce India>>>'s dependence on imported fuels such as Liquefied natural gas>>>, Methanol>>>, Ammonia>>>, and Urea>>>. Reliance Industries>>> brings its expertise in gasification technologies, while India>>> provides access to lignite blocks. This collaboration aligns with the India — Union Council of Ministers>>>'s recently approved Rs 37,500 crore scheme to promote coal and lignite gasification, supporting India>>>'s goal of gasifying 100 million tonnes of coal by 2030 and its net-zero ambitions. India>>> is also diversifying its operations with a planned lignite-to-methanol plant in Tamil Nadu.
