The Ministry of Coal will organise a roadshow on coal and lignite gasification projects in Hyderabad on 11 June 2026, as part of its wider push to accelerate coal gasification projects across the country.
The Hyderabad event follows the ministry’s earlier roadshow in New Delhi, which saw strong participation from industry stakeholders.
The ministry said the response to the New Delhi event reflected growing confidence in India’s coal gasification ecosystem and the opportunities emerging in the sector.
Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy will attend the Hyderabad roadshow as the chief guest.
Minister of State for Coal and Mines Satish Chandra Dubey will be the guest of honour.

According to the ministry, the roadshow will serve as a platform to discuss policy support, technology innovation, investment opportunities and project implementation strategies for coal and lignite gasification projects.
Coal gasification is a process that converts coal into synthesis gas, or syngas.
This syngas can be used to produce value-added products such as methanol, ammonium nitrate, synthetic natural gas and industrial chemicals.
The government has been promoting coal gasification as a strategic technology to improve energy security, reduce import dependence and diversify the use of India’s domestic coal resources.
The ministry said the Hyderabad roadshow is expected to strengthen stakeholder engagement, facilitate strategic partnerships and support the creation of a stronger ecosystem for coal gasification in India.
Through such initiatives, the ministry aims to encourage industry participation and support the government’s broader goal of Aatmanirbhar Bharat through energy security, sustainable resource utilisation and industrial growth.
