India Launches Rs 23,731 Crore GOBARdhan Scheme and Temporary Gas Support for Distributors
The Indian government has approved the Rs 23,731 crore GOBARdhan scheme to promote Compressed Biogas (CBG) production from organic waste between FY27 and FY36, offering capital assistance and fixed pricing to scale the sector. Separately, a six-month policy provides city gas distributors (CGDs) with additional cheaper gas allocations per new customer, potentially improving margins temporarily amid ongoing high gas costs and market uncertainties. Key CGDs like MGL, IGL, and GEL may benefit financially, though gains could be limited if incentives are shared with consumers.
