New Era Cleantech Solutions Pvt. Ltd has commenced work on India's first greenfield integrated coal gasification and carbon capture complex in Chandrapur, Maharashtra, with an investment of ₹20,000 crore.

This facility will convert domestic coal into essential industrial chemicals and fuels, processing over 5 million metric tonnes of coal annually. The first phase will produce ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and mono ethylene glycol, with future expansions to include urea, sustainable aviation fuel, and ethanol. Cleared by the Maharashtra government in 2022, the project supports the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, aiming to reduce dependence on imported fuels and strengthen long-term energy security amid global supply disruptions.
