GAIL (India) Limited has signed a tripartite agreement with the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML) to establish a Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) facility in the KCDC area of Haralakunte Village, Bengaluru South Taluk. The signing took place on October 16, 2025, in the presence of Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar.
As part of the agreement, the GBA will provide 18 acres of land on a permissive use basis, while BSWML will supply 300 tons of segregated municipal solid waste daily. This waste will be converted into approximately 12.6 tons of CBG per day. The project will also generate around 22 tons of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) daily, supporting sustainable farming and circular economy principles.
The concession is set to remain in effect for 25 years from the plant’s commissioning date. This initiative is a significant move toward eco-friendly waste management and renewable energy production in Bengaluru, aligning with the SATAT initiative and the Government of India’s Swachh Bharat Mission.
