Budget: Coal gasification of 100 MT to give fillip to end-use sectors like steel, say experts

Increasing coal gasification and liquefaction capacity will reduce India’s reliance on imports of natural gas and other critical items, curb emissions and give a fillip to end-user sectors like steel, experts said. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman while presenting the interim budget in parliament on Thursday said: “Coal gasification and liquefaction capacity of 100 MT will be set up by 2030.”
