Jindal Steel & Power is implementing coal gasification across its production chain to improve environmental sustainability and reduce reliance on imported coking coal.

Jindal Steel & Power has officially launched a comprehensive coal gasification initiative across its steelmaking operations. The strategic move is designed to enhance the company’s environmental sustainability profile while addressing long-standing supply chain vulnerabilities.

By adopting coal gasification technology, the firm aims to significantly decrease its dependency on imported coking coal, a critical raw material that has historically been subject to price volatility and logistical constraints. This transition represents a shift in production methodology, allowing the company to utilize domestic coal reserves more efficiently through the conversion process. The initiative is part of a broader corporate strategy to modernize manufacturing workflows, reduce the carbon footprint of its heavy industrial output, and improve overall operational self-reliance. The integration of this technology marks a pivotal development in the company's efforts to align its heavy manufacturing output with modern sustainability standards.
