A significant Rs 25,016-crore coal gasification project in Odisha, recently inaugurated by President Murmu and PM Modi, is set to fulfill nearly 35% of India's ammonium nitrate needs by 2030. This pioneering initiative, utilizing indigenous technology, promises to slash imports by 0.66 million tonnes annually, saving over USD 360 million in foreign exchange each year and bolstering India's self-reliance in strategic industrial products.
