CHAPTER 1: A landmark step in advancing India's industrial transformation
Casale is proud to be part of a pioneering Coal-to-Ammonia-Nitrates project in Odisha, India: the country's first coal gasification-based nitrates complex, developed on an L-EPC basis for Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Limited (BCGCL) together with Larsen & Toubro.
Strongly supported by the Government of India, this strategic initiative reflects a long-term vision to strengthen national energy security, enhance industrial resilience, and maximize the value of domestic coal resources.
Leveraging decades of experience and more than 80 ammonia synthesis loop references worldwide up to 3'100 MTD, Casale will contribute its ammonia technology expertise and proprietary equipment for critical sections of the 920 MTD ammonia synthesis loop.
At the heart of the complex, the ammonia N-LOOP will provide the essential building block for downstream nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production, enabling efficient and reliable operation across the entire fertilizer value chain.
Beyond its technical scope, the project represents an important milestone is India's efforts to develop new coal gasification-based industrial value chains and strengthen long-term self-reliance in strategic chemical production.
We are honoured to contribute to an initiative that combine technological innovation, resource valorisation, and national strategic importance.
CHAPTER 2: Building India's First Coal-to-Ammonium Nitrate Complex - Following the Foundation Stone Ceremony
Following last weekend's foundation stone laying ceremony led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for India's first commercial-scale coal gasification-based nitrates complex, Casale is proud to contribute to this landmark project developed on an L-EPC basis for Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Limited (BCGCL) together with Larsen & Toubro.
Strongly supported by the Government of India, this strategic initiative reflects a long-term vision to strengthen national energy security, maximize the value of domestic coal resources, and develop new industrial value chains for the country.
Complementing the ammonia synthesis loop announced earlier this month, Casale's technologies enable a fully integrated coal-to-ammonium nitrate value chain, from ammonia production through weak nitric acid (WNA), ammonium nitrate (AN), and HDAN.
Leveraging more than 80 ammonia synthesis loop references worldwide up to 3โ100 MTD, Casale will provide its proprietary N-LOOP technology and equipment for the 920 MTD ammonia synthesis loop, supplying the essential building block for the downstream nitrates production chain.
Leveraging more than 120 Nitric Acid and Ammonium Nitrate plant references worldwide, Casale will provide its proprietary DualPURE and NitroCULTIVA technologies for a 1โ650 MTD WNA plant, a 2โ000 MTD AN plant, and a 400 MTD HDAN prilling unit, setting a new benchmark for nitrate production capacity in India and supporting the supply of strategic products for the country's mining sector.
Once completed, it will represent the largest ammonium nitrate complex in the country and is expected to meet nearly 35% of India's projected ammonium nitrate demand by 2030.
Beyond its technical scope, the project represents an important milestone in India's efforts to build new industrial value chains, strengthen domestic production capabilities, and support strategic sectors such as mining and infrastructure.
Together with our partners, we are proud to contribute to an initiative that combines technological innovation, resource valorisation, and national strategic importance.
From coal to industrial value โ supporting India's journey towards greater industrial self-reliance.
