NLC has traditionally been into lignite mining and setting up lignite-based power plants.

"The project is expected to complete by March-2027," the company said in a regulatory filing.

The proposed lignite-to-methanol plant is in line with the Centre's coal gasification plan, a sustainable way of utilising the fuel to meet its ambitious net-zero plans.

"The total period of the project is 42 months from the date of Letter of Award (LOA)," it added.

 

In October last year, NLC had floated a global tender for awarding the project through project management consultancy Engineers India Limited (EIL) for gasification block (LEPC-1) of its Lignite-to-Methanol project at Neyveli, in Tamil Nadu.
