Project Highlights
-
Investment: ₹123.42 crore
-
Area: Approximately 18 acres
-
Capacity: Processing of 300 tonnes of segregated organic municipal waste per day
-
Daily Output: Approximately 12.6 tonnes of Compressed Biogas (CBG) and 21.6 tonnes of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)
The CBG produced at the facility will be supplied to GAIL Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary of GAIL, thereby adding to the availability of indigenous clean fuel in Karnataka.
Expected Benefits
The proposed plant is expected to provide a sustainable solution for processing urban organic waste, reduce dependence on landfill disposal, support cleaner cities and strengthen the state’s waste-management infrastructure. It will incorporate modern odour-control and effluent-treatment systems for environmentally responsible operations.
By converting municipal waste into clean energy and organic manure, the project aims to contribute to the circular economy and align with the goals of the Swachh Bharat Mission, Atmanirbhar Bharat and India’s clean energy transition. GAIL also views the project as a potential replicable model for municipal waste-to-CBG infrastructure in other urban centres.
