Summary

Biogas plants in Gandhinagar, Prayagraj, Gwalior and Hyderabad convert food leftovers, cow dung and vegetable waste into fuel, electricity and bio‑manure.

The produced bio‑gas replaces liquefied petroleum gas for cooking and powers public transport, while the electricity supplies market lighting.

These initiatives reduce carbon emissions, lower electricity bills, create local jobs and provide natural fertiliser for farmers.
