Gujarat Plant Converts Cow Dung into Bio-CNG and Organic Fertiliser

A Rs 45 crore plant in Gujarat, developed through a partnership between Banas Dairy, NDDB, and Suzuki Research and Development India, converts 100 tonnes of daily cow dung into 1.5-1.8 tonnes of Bio-CNG, sold at Rs 75 per kilogram, cheaper than regular natural gas. The plant also produces phosphate-rich organic fertiliser and enriched slurry water, generating 80% of its revenue. Currently, cow dung is collected from about 500 farmers across 35 dairy collectives, with Banas Dairy expected to take over operations.
