Building on the strong momentum generated by the successful Roadshow on Coal and Lignite Gasification Projects held in New Delhi, the Ministry of Coal is set to organize its next roadshow in Hyderabad on June 11, 2026. The overwhelming response and active participation witnessed during the earlier event underscored the growing confidence of industry stakeholders in India's coal gasification ecosystem and highlighted the significant opportunities emerging in this strategic sector.

The Hyderabad roadshow will be graced by Shri G. Kishan Reddy, Union Minister of Coal and Mines, as the Chief Guest, while Shri Satish Chandra Dubey, Minister of State for Coal and Mines, will attend as the Guest of Honour. The event will also witness the presence of Shri Vikram Dev Dutt, Secretary, Ministry of Coal, Shri Sanoj Kumar Jha, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Coal, senior officials of the Ministry, representatives from Central and State Governments, coal and lignite companies, technology providers, industry associations, investors, and other key stakeholders.

Coal gasification is a transformative technology that converts coal into synthesis gas (syngas), which can be further utilized for the production of value-added products such as methanol, ammonium nitrate, synthetic natural gas, and a range of industrial chemicals. Recognizing its strategic importance, the Government of India has undertaken several policy initiatives and incentive measures to promote coal gasification as a means to enhance energy security, reduce import dependence, and diversify the utilization of domestic coal resources.

The roadshow will serve as a key platform for discussions on policy support, technological innovations, investment opportunities, and project implementation strategies. It will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, technology providers, and investors to explore collaborative pathways for accelerating the development of coal and lignite gasification projects across the country.

The event is expected to further strengthen stakeholder engagement, facilitate strategic partnerships, and support the creation of a robust ecosystem for coal gasification in India. Through such initiatives, the Ministry of Coal remains committed to promoting innovation, encouraging industry participation, and advancing the Government's vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat through enhanced energy security, sustainable resource utilization, and industrial growth.
