Bengaluru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually lay the foundation stone of a Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) plant in Bengaluru on November 13, according to the office of Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya.
The project, costing about ₹160 crore, is fully funded by GAIL (India) Limited under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. The MP’s office described it as a long-pending project.
The plant will initially process 300 metric tonnes of wet waste every day, with the capacity to scale up to 500 metric tonnes per day. It will convert the waste into Compressed Bio-Gas, providing a sustainable solution to Bengaluru’s growing waste management challenges, the office said.
The plant is also expected to contribute to clean energy generation.
