en.Wedoany.com Reported - L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Onshore Engineering, continuing its recent momentum of large orders, has secured an EPC order for a coal-to-ammonium nitrate project in Odisha from Bharat Coal Gasification & Chemicals Limited (BCGCL). BCGCL is a joint venture between Coal India Limited (CIL) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).

This order, part of the overall lump-sum turnkey package-3, strengthens L&T's position in the clean syngas-based ammonia synthesis sector, a critical link in the coal-to-chemicals value chain. The ammonia plant will play a key role in downstream nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production, ensuring operational efficiency, process reliability, and seamless integration across the entire plant.

Leveraging its specialized expertise in fertilizer, gas processing, and chemical EPC, L&T Onshore Engineering will deliver an ammonia synthesis unit designed for continuous operation, high on-stream factor, and stringent safety standards, aligned with evolving industry benchmarks. The scope of work includes process licensor, basic design, detailed engineering, procurement, and construction, covering mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, sustained load and performance guarantee test runs, overall project management, and final handover of the ammonia synthesis unit and its associated facilities, under a single-point responsibility, lump-sum turnkey model.

Mr. Subramanian Sarma, Whole-time Director & President of L&T, stated: "Gasification-based downstream chemical infrastructure is central to India's self-reliance agenda. This order reinforces L&T's role as a trusted EPC partner for technologically complex projects of national importance. Developing indigenous ammonia capacity through the coal route enhances supply resilience and supports the downstream industrial ecosystem."

Mr. E S Sathyanarayanan, Senior Vice President & Head of L&T Onshore Engineering and a member of the L&T Executive Committee, said: "The ammonia plant is a critical component of the coal-to-chemicals value chain. Our proven capabilities in executing ammonia and fertilizer plants enable us to efficiently deliver such technology-intensive assets, ensuring consistent product quality, operational reliability, and long-term performance."
