L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Onshore secured a major contract from Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Ltd (BCGCL) to establish a Coal-to-Ammonium-Nitrate facility in Odisha. The project aims to convert high-ash domestic coal into ammonium nitrate with a planned production capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day. This initiative supports India’s broader goal of achieving 100 million tonnes of coal gasification capacity by 2030 under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The project is expected to reduce import dependence and promote the production of value-added products such as ammonia, methanol, and synthetic natural gas while strengthening India’s industrial and energy sectors.
