Reliance, NLC explore new project to boost domestic gas supply

Reliance Industries, NLC India sign pact to explore underground lignite gasification project in Gujarat

NLC India and Reliance Industries signed a feasibility agreement to explore underground lignite gasification on two NLCIL blocks in Gujarat, within India's ₹37,500 crore national coal gasification scheme targeting 100 million tonnes by 2030. For energy and industrial managers, this signals accelerating domestic substitution of imported LNG, urea, and ammonia — with synthesis gas potentially reshaping feedstock sourcing decisions in chemicals, fertilizers, and power.
