L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Onshore has won a large order from Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals (BCGCL), a joint venture of Coal India (CIL) and Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), for a Coal-to-Ammonia-Nitrate project in Odisha. According to the company's project classification, the order is valued between Rs 2,500 crore to Rs 5,000 crore. </P> The order encompasses the development of the Nitric Acid and Ammonium Nitrate Plant, to be executed on a Lump Sum Turnkey basis (LSTK Package-4) with single-point responsibility. Once operational, the facility will enable the conversion of coal into ammonium nitrate with a planned production capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day, supporting the growing requirements of India's mining, infrastructure and industrial sectors. </P> The scope of work includes process licensing, basic design, detailed engineering, procurement and construction, encompassing mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, sustained load and performance guarantee test runs, overall project management and final handover of the plant and its facilities. </P> This order underscores BCGCL's confidence in L&T's proven capabilities, particularly in executing complex, technology-intensive projects under challenging conditions, while maintaining highest standards of safety, quality and execution excellence. </P> Under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, India has set an ambitious target of achieving 100 million tonnes of coal gasification capacity by 2030. This mission aims to convert high-ash domestic coal into value-added products such as ammonium nitrate, methanol, ammonia, Synthetic Natural Gas and fertilisers, thereby reducing import dependence and strengthening India's industrial self-reliance. </P>
