Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is being evaluated for deep, unmineable coal seams, enabling in-situ coal conversion to synthesis gas (syngas) while minimizing surface mining impacts, ash generation, and land requirements. During FY 2024–25, feasibility and conceptual studies were advanced through subsidiaries and joint ventures, focusing on geological suitability, environmental risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. While commercial deployment remains in the medium-to-long-term horizon, UCG aligns with energy security and cleaner coal utilization objectives (Coal India Limited, 2025). The details of CIL’s surface coal gasification projects for SNG and chemicals mentioning the status and key objectives is depicted at
