The Ministry of Coal on February 13, 2022, notified regarding the incentives to Promote Coal Gasification to incentivize private sector companies for developing coal gasification projects. A provision has been made for a 50% rebate in revenue share for all future commercial coal block auctions for the coal used in gasification purposes provided the coal quantity used for gasification is at least 10% of the total coal production.
Further, a separate auction window under the NRS sector has been created to make coal available for new coal gasification plants. These incentives will meet the demand for dry fuel for the projects.
