Government Subsidies for Biogas Plants in India

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

The Indian government supports biogas and CBG through MNRE CFA tables (rupee bands by plant size), SATAT / GOBARdhan pathways for compressed biogas, and state nodal facilitation. August 2026 cabinet notes for GOBARdhan cite capital assistance up to ₹2 crore per TPD for eligible greenfield CBG and an administered CBG price context of ₹2,110 per MMBTU — always verify live PIB / MNRE / MoPNG notices. BIOPOWER prepares DPRs and builds plants under those rules; we do not replace .gov.in application portals.

What national schemes support biogas?

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) publishes Central Financial Assistance for biogas plants — use the live tables on mnre.gov.in and biogas.mnre.gov.in (commonly cited CFA bands about ₹9,800–₹70,400 for ~1–25 m³ class; higher for eligible NER/SC/ST categories). SATAT / GOBARdhan support CBG offtake and capital design for larger projects. Scheme rates change — confirm before applying.

Who is eligible for biogas subsidies?

Eligibility, documentation, and subsidy amounts vary by plant category and state. Karnataka detail: biogas plant subsidy in Karnataka.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the biogas subsidy amount fixed?

No. Subsidy amounts depend on plant size, category, and the prevailing scheme guidelines, which are updated periodically by central and state authorities.

Can businesses claim biogas subsidies?

Yes. Commercial and industrial projects, especially CBG plants under SATAT, can access incentives and off-take support, subject to eligibility.
