Punjab Government Initiates Rs 65 Crore Compressed Biogas Plant in Ludhiana
The Punjab government has launched a Rs 65 crore Compressed Bio-Gas plant in Haibowal, Ludhiana, to process 300 tonnes of cattle dung daily from the Dairy Complex. Spanning 2.5 acres, the plant will produce about five tonnes of CBG and organic manure each day, aiming to reduce pollution in Budha Nala and prevent sewer blockages. Part of the Waste-to-Wealth mission, it will create income opportunities for 435 dairy owners and is expected to be completed by September 2027, supporting sustainable waste management and environmental protection.
