The partnership will set up ten plants, each with an 18‑MT/day capacity, totalling a ₹1,200 crore investment— a bold step toward a greener fuel ecosystem.
Compressed biogas, or CNG, is produced by capturing methane from agricultural waste and industrial residues, then compressing it for use in vehicles. The plants will handle everything from feedstock procurement to final distribution, ensuring a steady supply for CNG‑powered fleets.
India currently runs about 1.4 million CNG‑equipped vehicles, but fuel stations are unevenly spread. A reliable supply from these plants could lower the cost per litre, making CNG a more attractive alternative to petrol and diesel.
With the government’s push to cut emissions and the upcoming EV mandates, a robust CNG network could complement the transition, offering a cleaner combustion option while EV penetration lags in rural areas.
