					</table><p>The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (<a href="https://mnre.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MNRE</a>), in a recent office memorandum, has allotted physical targets to the biogas program implementing agencies (PIAs) for establishing small biogas projects under the Biogas Program Phase II for the fiscal year 2023-24.</p>
<p>The year&#8217;s target is 15,205 biogas plants, with an additional 1,165 sanitary toilets linked to biogas plants.</p>
<p>The Ministry has also set targets for 14 new implementing agencies to conduct four training courses during the fiscal year.</p>
<p>The table below provides the annual targets for installing biogas projects and the training programs as allotted to the implementing agencies:</p>

<p>The primary objective of the Biogas program is to establish biogas plants that provide clean cooking fuel, lighting, and meet users&#8217; thermal and small power requirements, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved sanitation, empowerment of women, and the creation of rural employment.</p>
<p>Additionally, it is expected to produce organic-enriched bio-manure by utilizing the digested slurry from biogas plants. This bio-manure, a valuable source of nutrients, will help farmers reduce their reliance on chemical fertilizers.</p>
<p>The program is part of the <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/mnre-approves-%e2%82%b98-5-billion-national-bioenergy-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Bioenergy Program</a>, valid from FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26.</p>
<p>The program has been recommended for implementation in two phases. A budget outlay of ₹8.58 billion (~$104.66 million) has been approved for Phase-I.</p>
<p>Out of the total budget, ₹6 billion (~$73.18 million) has been approved for the waste-to-energy program, ₹1.58 billion (~$19.27 million) for the biomass program, and 1 billion (~$12.19 million) for the biogas program.</p>
<p>All designated PIAs are urged to promptly take necessary measures to ensure the completion of the assigned objectives with high-quality construction, appropriate commissioning, and effective operation of biogas plants while adhering to all program regulations and standards.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amuldairy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amul Dairy</a>, <a href="https://anand.nic.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anand</a>, and <a href="https://mrida.nddb.coop/Home/About" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NDDB Mrida</a> are advised to collaborate and coordinate with the assigned biogas state PIA, districts, and development blocks in their respective states/union territories.</p>
<p>The Union government, earlier this month, <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/waste-to-wealth-initiative-digital-with-launch-of-portal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> the unified registration portal for GOBARdhan, intending to streamline the process of setting up compressed biogas CBG/Biogas plants in India. The portal will act as a one-stop repository for assessing investment and participation in the sector nationwide.</p>
