Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) on Wednesday empanelling 22 potential partners and signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) to jointly develop pan-India compressed biogas (CBG) projects during India Energy Week (IEW) 2026 in Goa on Wednesday.
The empanelled entities span diverse sectors including sugar, paper, waste processing, engineering and allied industries, enabling IGL to tap a wide range of feedstock sources, technologies and project development capabilities.
Under the empanelment framework, IGL and its partners will jointly explore opportunities to set up CBG plants across the country by leveraging their respective strengths in feedstock aggregation, plant development, technology deployment and gas offtake.
Separately, IGL also signed an MoU with Superior Agro to explore the offtake of around 200 tonnes per day (TPD) of CBG from a network of decentralised CBG plants proposed to be set up in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, within IGL’s authorised geographical areas.
Under the empanelment initiative, the proposed CBG projects are expected to be developed over the next three to four years, with an aggregate production potential of around 250 TPD.
The projects will primarily utilise organic waste, municipal solid waste (MSW) and agricultural residues, supporting improved waste management, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and generation of rural and semi-urban livelihoods.
Under the proposed arrangement with Superior Agro, the company plans to develop multiple decentralised CBG plants, each with a capacity of around 2 TPD, based largely on agricultural and organic waste.
These plants are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next three to four years, with cumulative production targeted at around 200 TPD. The CBG produced is envisaged to be integrated into IGL’s city gas distribution (CGD) network, enabling substitution of conventional natural gas with renewable gas.
Kamal Kishore Chatiwal said the empanelment framework would help accelerate project identification and scalable deployment of CBG infrastructure across multiple geographies.
