State-owned Coal India plans to set up coal-to-syngas production units either at pithead locations or adjacent to user industries such as fertiliser units, direct-reduced iron and gas-based power plants amid disruption in gas supplies due to the West Asia conflict, sources said.
Coal India Ltd (CIL), which accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output, has already initiated steps to develop such coal-to-syngas facilities.
In line with the National Mission on Coal Gasification and the government's vision to enhance domestic chemical and feedstock security, CIL intends to set up coal-to-syn-gas facilities to cater to the market demand for syn-gas in gas-based power plants/DRI or fertiliser plants, sources said.
The company plans to develop such facilities either on Build-Own-Operate (BOO) or Build-Operate-Maintain (BOM) basis, with syngas to be produced from coal by developers or consortia, they said.

The president of the governing body of Iranian soccer said Saturday the nation's World Cup training base has been moved to Mexico from the United States after getting approval from FIFA.
Mehdi Taj, president of the Iran Football Federation, announced the decision Saturday in a statement issued by the federation's media relations official. FIFA has not confirmed the move.
Iran had been scheduled to train in Tucson, Arizona, but a move has been a possibility because of uncertainty surrounding the war in the Middle East and security concerns. Officials at Tucson's Kino Sports Complex had no comment.
The federation says the team will now be based in Tijuana, Mexico, just south of San Diego. This year's World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19 and will be co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
"All team base camps for the countries participating in the World Cup must be approved FIFA," Taj said in his statement. "Fortunately, following the requests we submitted and the meetings we held
