IEA says India's CBG plant utilisation is around 35%
In short
India’s compressed biogas plants are using only about 35% of their capacity, the IEA said.
BusinessLine says feedstock, storage, and transport problems are slowing growth, even though the Gobardhan scheme has a ₹23,700 crore budget and wants much higher production by FY36.
What the reporting says
India’s compressed biogas plant capacity utilisation is around 35%, the IEA said, as feedstock, storage and logistics constraints slow expansion. BusinessLine says the Gobardhan scheme has a ₹23,700 crore budget and aims for nearly tenfold production growth by FY36. The figures point to a weak operating base even as policy support targets much higher output.
Why it matters
The IEA said India’s compressed biogas plant capacity utilisation is around 35%, with feedstock, storage and logistics constraints delaying expansion. BusinessLine also cited the Gobardhan scheme’s ₹23,700 crore budget and its aim of nearly tenfold production growth by FY36. The story matters for biogas developers, supply-chain operators and policy execution in the energy transition.
