Angul,/07/04/2026// Based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant, using syngas for iron-making. In
response to shortages of natural gas, LPG, and propane, Jindal Steel has now
successfully deployed syngas in galvanising and colour coating line
furnaces—marking the first such application in the steel industry. This has helped
the company better mitigate fuel shortages in these unprecedented times.
Further strengthening its leadership, Jindal Steel has pioneered syngas injection into
its blast furnace, reducing dependence on imported coking coal and lowering carbon
emissions per tonne of steel. This integrated deployment of syngas across the
steelmaking value chain sets a new benchmark for efficiency, sustainability, and
energy self-reliance.
The forward-looking policies and incentives of the Government of
India—including the National Coal Gasification Mission, are expected to accelerate
the adoption of coal gasification technologies and support the country’s push
towards energy self-reliance.
Mr. P.K. Biju Nair, Executive Director Angul, Jindal Steel, said: “Synthesis
gas from swadeshi coal can replace imported methanol, ammonia,
ammonium nitrate, and LNG. India must utilise its vast coal reserves to
future-proof low-carbon growth and reduce forex outflow. Coal
gasification, coupled with CCUS, will lower emission intensity, support
CBAM compliance, and strengthen our export competitiveness”.

technologies, Jindal Steel is advancing the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat while
delivering sustainable and cost-competitive steel production.
