The proposed facility will utilize high ash Indian coal from NTPC’s captive mines, converting it into SNG – a cleaner fuel alternative for NTPC’s gas-based power stations as well as in-situ power generation. This initiative aligns with the national vision for cleaner coal technologies and energy diversification.

Coal gasification is emerging as a key enabler for the sustainable utilization of domestic coal reserves, reducing dependency on imported fuels and lowering emissions.

Further, NETRA – which is the R&D wing of NTPC – is actively leading the initiative under its broader vision of “Greening the Coal” and advancing carbon capture and utilization technologies. The collaboration with EIL thus marks a significant milestone in developing integrated, indigenous solutions for clean energy and reinforces NTPC’s commitment to innovation-driven sustainability.

NTPC Ltd. is contributing one-fourth of India’s power requirements and has an installed capacity of 84 GW, with an additional capacity of 30.90 GW under construction, including 13.3 GW of renewable energy capacity. The company is committed to achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, strengthening India’s Net Zero goals.

With a diverse portfolio of thermal, hydro, solar, and wind power plants, NTPC is dedicated to delivering reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity to the nation. The company is committed to adopting best practices, fostering innovation, and embracing clean energy technologies for a greener future.

Along with power generation, NTPC has ventured into various new business areas, including e-mobility, battery storage, pumped hydro storage, waste-to-energy, nuclear power, and green hydrogen solutions. It has also participated in the bidding for the power distribution of Union Territories.

This achievement reflects their commitment to best mining practices and environmental standards to promote sustainable mining.

While Dulanga Coal Mining has been awarded a Star Rating (3rd rank) under the category of Opencast mines for the years 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22, Talaipalli Coal Mining Project has also been awarded a Star Rating (Achievers Rank) under Opencast category for the year 2019-20.

Shri Shivam Srivastava, Director (Fuel), and Shri Animesh Jain, CEO, NML received the awards from Shri Pralhad Joshi, Hon’ble Minister of Coal, Mines and Parliamentary Affairs at the Annual Star Rating of Coal Mines award ceremony held on 20^th December in Delhi.

NTPC has conceptualized the development of all its mines as a “Model Mine” by adopting the best technological practices, integrating of digital tools for operational efficiency, striving towards ‘Zero Incident potential”, promoting green footprints, and setting benchmarks in the mining industry.

It has also fostered sustainable development of the area in and around its mining projects through skill development of youth, womenfolk, health, education, infrastructure building, and other need-based initiatives.
