The first MoU focuses on establishing a partnership for utilisation of coal from GMDC’s coal blocks for power generation at NTPC’s existing and upcoming power stations. The collaboration is expected to ensure a steady and reliable fuel supply, thereby supporting enhanced power generation capacity.

The second MoU aims to explore opportunities in coal and lignite gasification, along with downstream commercialisation. This includes development of pilot projects and utilisation of syngas for various industrial applications, aligning with the government’s push towards cleaner and more efficient use of fossil fuels.

The partnership is expected to bolster India’s energy security, promote adoption of clean coal technologies, and contribute towards achieving greater energy self-reliance.

The MoUs have been signed in the presence of NTPC's Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Gurdeep Singh and GMDC's Managing Director Roopwant Singh (IAS) along with senior officials from both organisations.
