Awarded Ultra Mega Project Status by the Government of Maharashtra — unlocking project incentives worth over $8 Billion.
Signalling bilateral commitment to the project's success.
Allocated and possessed at Bhadrawati, Chandrapur — one of India's most coal-rich industrial corridors.
Sanctioned ₹1,100 Cr under the Ministry of Coal's ₹8,500 Cr Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme, reinforcing the project's financial strength and pace of execution
The heart of New Era’s complex is a proven industrial gasification process, adapted and optimised for Indian conditions and feedstock.
High-grade coal from our captive mine at Bhadrawati.
Inside the gasifier, coal is partially oxidized using O₂ under specific temperature and pressure conditions, with sufficient residence time for the reaction to produce raw synthesis gas.
The raw syngas passes through a gas conditioning unit comprising a Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reactor, which adjusts the CO-to-H₂ ratio for different downstream products, followed by an acid gas and CO₂ removal unit.
The separated CO₂ stream enters the Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) subsystem. Subsequently, concentrated CO₂ is utilized for chemical production.
H₂S-rich gas is processed through a Sulphur Recovery Unit, producing elemental sulphur as a marketable by-product.
Phase 2 is estimated to go live by 2032
New Era’s product portfolio has been designed to maximise value extraction from syngas while targeting products with strong domestic demand, import substitution potential and policy support. The complex is structured to produce both nitrogen-based fertilisers and methanol-chain chemicals, creating resilience across product cycles.
Produced by reacting syngas-derived ammonia with CO₂. India is a major importer; domestic urea production offers a strong import substitution opportunity
A high-nitrogen fertiliser and industrial explosive. Derived from the ammonium stream; serves both the agricultural and mining sectors.
A primary feedstock for nitrogen fertilisers. Produced from syngas-derived hydrogen and atmospheric nitrogen.
A versatile platform chemical and clean fuel. India's National Methanol Programme creates a growing policy-driven demand base.
A clean-burning fuel and chemical intermediate derived from methanol. Under active policy consideration as an LPG substitute and transport fuel.
High-purity hydrogen for industrial use across refining, fertilisers and emerging clean energy applications.
A critical raw material for the polyester and PET industries. India is a major importer; domestic production from syngas represents a significant import substitution opportunity.
Clean ethanol produced from syngas, suited for India's ethanol-blending programme and industrial applications.
New Era Cleantech was conceived as a gasification company from day one. But it was also conceived as a decarbonisation company. The two are inseparable in our design.
Every tonne of coal processed in our gasifiers produces CO₂. Our commitment is to ensure that the maximum possible proportion of that CO₂ is captured, utilised or permanently sequestered — rather than released into the atmosphere. This is not a compliance exercise. It is the reason the company exists.
Our CCU pilot begins in Phase 1, alongside our first production units, creating the operational experience and infrastructure needed to scale CO₂ capture progressively across both project phases.
Chemical feedstock — CO₂ is a building block for a range of downstream chemicals, such as urea and methanol.
Construction aggregates — CO₂ mineralisation in construction materials, converting waste into structural products.
Over 1 million tonnes per year across Phase 1 and Phase 2 combined.
Unit eliminates sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emissions by converting H₂S into marketable elemental sulphur.
Minimising water consumption and eliminating process effluent.
(Nationally Determined Contribution) targets under the Paris Agreement.
