GAIL (India) Ltd. has signed a Tripartite Concession Agreement with the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Ltd. (BSWML) to set up a Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) plant in the KCDC area of Haralakunte Village, Bengaluru South Taluk.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, GAIL said in a statement.
Under the terms of the agreement, the GBA will provide 18 acres of land for the project on a permissive-use basis, while BSWML will supply 300 tons of segregated municipal solid waste per day.
The waste will be processed to produce around 12.6 tons of CBG daily.
The plant is also expected to generate about 22 tons of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) each day, supporting sustainable agriculture and promoting a circular economy.
The concession agreement will be valid for 25 years from the date the project is commissioned.
GAIL described the project as a significant step towards sustainable waste management and green energy production in Bengaluru.
It aligns with national initiatives such as the SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) programme and the Swachh Bharat Mission.
Officials noted that the plant will not only help the city manage waste more efficiently but also contribute to India’s clean energy transition goals.
