Government Subsidies for Biogas Plants in India

By BIOPOWER (BPG Renewables) · Updated June 2026 · Biogas Plants

The Indian government supports biogas adoption through central schemes such as the National Bioenergy Programme (under MNRE) and various state-level incentives, offering capital subsidies that reduce the upfront cost of qualifying biogas and Bio-CNG plants.

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.

Who is eligible for biogas subsidies?

Eligibility, documentation, and subsidy amounts vary by plant category and state.

How do I apply for a biogas subsidy?

Applications generally go through state nodal agencies or empanelled vendors. BIOPOWER assists clients with documentation and DPR preparation to support subsidy claims. Talk to our team for current scheme guidance.

Can businesses claim biogas subsidies?
