Jindal Steel Pioneers Coal Gasification for Sustainable Steel and Energy Security in India
New Delhi, April 6, 2026: Jindal Steel has advanced India's energy self-reliance and sustainable steel production by pioneering the use of swadeshi coal through advanced coal gasification.The company achieved a global first by establishing India's first coal gasification-based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant, which utilizes syngas for iron-making. Furthermore, the deployment of syngas in galvanising and colour coating line furnaces marks the first such application in the steel industry, helping the company mitigate fuel shortages.
Jindal Steel is also strengthening its leadership by injecting syngas into its blast furnace. This process reduces the dependence on imported coking coal while simultaneously lowering carbon emissions per tonne of steel. This integrated deployment of syngas across the entire steelmaking value chain establishes a new benchmark for efficiency, sustainability, and energy self-reliance.
P.K. Biju Nair, Executive Director Angul, Jindal Steel, noted that synthesis gas derived from swadeshi coal has the potential to replace imported methanol, ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and LNG. He stated that India must utilize its substantial coal reserves to future-proof low-carbon growth and reduce foreign exchange outflow. According to Nair, coal gasification combined with CCUS will lower emission intensity, support CBAM compliance, and enhance export competitiveness.
By leveraging swadeshi coal and implementing advanced clean coal gasification technologies, Jindal Steel is advancing the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat while delivering cost-competitive and sustainable steel production.
