IOCL inked Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with state government of Haryana for setting up bio-CNG plants across the state. Using paddy straw and other agri-waste as feedstock, the first compressed biogas plant (CBP) will be established in Kurukshetra. Establishing a 100 tpd biogas plant requires an investment of about ₹35 crore and six to ten acres of land. The state government is looking forward to construct 200 CBP by 2023.
