Government Subsidies for Biogas Plants in India
What national schemes support biogas?
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) runs programmes that provide central financial assistance for small, medium, and large biogas plants. The SATAT initiative promotes Compressed Biogas (CBG) by enabling off-take agreements for producers. Scheme details and rates are revised periodically, so confirm current terms before applying.
