Government Launches GOBARdhan Scheme with Assured CBG Offtake and Price Support
The government has operationalised the Rs 23,731-crore GOBARdhan scheme to promote compressed biogas (CBG) production by offering producers assured offtake of up to 100% of their output, a government-backed price support for at least 10 years, and capital assistance. Running from 2026-27 to 2035-36, the scheme aims to convert organic waste into energy, address market uncertainties, and encourage private investment, targeting nearly ten-fold growth in domestic CBG production through six key components including pricing, infrastructure, and credit support.
