India’s CBG push faces manure sales bottleneck
In short
India’s compressed biogas plan is facing a problem: plants cannot easily sell the manure they make along with gas. The report says 217 of 1,908 registered plants have been commissioned, and storage costs are rising.
This matters because the manure sales gap could hurt the economics of the plants. The reporting does not say when demand will improve or which plants are most affected.
What the reporting says
India’s compressed biogas expansion is running into a manure disposal problem as plants struggle to sell the organic manure produced alongside gas, according to the summary. The report says only 217 of 1,908 registered plants have been commissioned, with operators facing storage costs and underused capacity. Industry executives say the missing offtake threatens project viability, while the reporting does not say when the bottleneck will ease.

The summary says only 217 of 1,908 registered plants have been commissioned, leaving many projects underused and adding storage costs. Industry executives say lack of assured offtake could hurt viability, but the reporting does not identify a policy change or timeline for resolution.
