GAIL (India) Limited is taking a big step towards green energy and sustainable waste management in Bengaluru. On October 16, 2025, the company signed a Tripartite Concession Agreement with the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML) to set up a Compressed BioGas (CBG) plant in Haralakunte Village, Bengaluru South Taluk. The signing ceremony was graced by the Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri D. K. Shivakumar.
Under this agreement, GBA will provide 18 acres of land on a permissive use basis, while BSWML will supply 300 tons of segregated municipal solid waste every day. This waste will be transformed into 12.6 tons of CBG daily—clean, renewable fuel that supports India’s green energy goals. On top of that, the plant will produce about 22 tons of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) daily, contributing to sustainable agriculture and promoting a circular economy.
The agreement is set to run for 25 years from the commissioning of the plant, ensuring a long-term positive impact on both the environment and the local community.
