JSPL plans to set up India’s second coal gasification plant at Raigarh
JSPL has plans of setting up a coal gasification plant — the second in the country — at its Raigarh plant in Chhattisgarh, company’s MD V R Sharma said.
The company is already using the coal gasification technology to produce steel at its plant in Angul, Odisha.
The 2 million tonne per annum production capacity plant, inaugurated in 2018, holds the distinction of being India’s first and the only plant producing steel from ‘swadeshi’ coal using the coal gasification technology.
“As part of our mission to promote diversification of usage of coal, we will be setting one more coal gasification plant at our plant in Raigarh,” the MD said adding it will be second such plant in the country.
