5,000+ CBG Plants by 2030: India’s Green Energy Revolution through Waste-to-Energy
India is on a mission to transform waste into clean fuel — literally. Under the SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) and GOBARdhan missions, the Government of India aims to install over 5,000 CBG (Compressed Biogas) plants by 2030, producing nearly 15 million metric tonnes of green fuel every year.
This is not just a government initiative — it’s a trillion-rupee opportunity for entrepreneurs, industries, and municipal corporations to generate clean energy, income, and employment from organic waste.
At Biofics Pvt. Ltd., we help you turn this opportunity into reality through turnkey CBG plant solutions — from feedstock analysis and DPRs to commissioning and long-term O&M.
🇮🇳 Government’s 2030 Vision for CBG
The SATAT Scheme, launched by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), aims to:
Establish 5,000+ CBG plants across India by 2030.
Generate 15 MMT of compressed biogas annually.
Create 75,000+ direct and indirect jobs.
Reduce India’s dependence on imported natural gas.
Support the Net Zero 2070 and Green Energy 2047 goals.
The GOBARdhan Yojana, under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, complements this by promoting waste recovery and biogas generation from cattle dung, municipal solid waste, and agro residues.
Together, these programs are building the foundation of India’s circular economy — where waste becomes wealth, energy, and opportunity.
Incentives & Benefits under the SATAT Scheme
The government provides strong financial and infrastructure support to accelerate CBG projects:
Central Financial Assistance (CFA) – Up to ₹4 crore per plant (for 4.8 tons/day capacity).
Priority Sector Lending – Loans at lower interest rates via RBI-approved institutions.
Market Development Assistance (MDA) – ₹1,500 per ton of organic manure byproduct.
Guaranteed Offtake by OMCs – Oil Marketing Companies (like IOCL, HPCL, BPCL) purchase CBG under long-term contracts.
CBG Blending Mandate – 1% blending with CNG/PNG from 2025, scaling to 5%.
Pipeline & Cascade Infrastructure – Funding support for gas storage, bottling, and delivery.
The Potential of CBG in India
Feedstock Availability: Over 600 million tonnes of organic waste is generated annually — from agriculture, industries, and households.
Energy Security: India imports over 50% of its gas demand; CBG will replace part of this with domestic green fuel.
Rural Empowerment: Farmers earn from selling crop residues and dung instead of burning it.
Carbon Reduction: Each tonne of CBG produced reduces ~2.5 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions.

Attractive Returns: Payback period of 3–4 years with strong IRR (15–20%).
Policy Push: Central and state governments are
actively supporting CBG with subsidies and fast-track clearances.
Green Branding: CBG plants enhance ESG scores and carbon credit potential.
India’s Progress So Far
Over 1,000+ Letters of Intent (LoIs) have been issued by OMCs.
Around 120 CBG plants are operational, and 400+ are under development.
States like Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Maharashtra are leading with multiple SATAT-linked projects.
The government’s 2030 roadmap includes 15 MMT annual CBG output, integrated with city gas networks and fertilizer markets.
Biofics has already been part of multiple CBG initiatives, including:
5 TPD CBG Plant – Elluru, Andhra Pradesh
120 TPD MSW to CBG Plant – Surat, Gujarat
5 TPD Pressmud-Based Plant – Shahjahanpur, U.P.
