GAIL Gas Limited is planning to set up 15 compressed biogas (CBG) plants across 15 districts in the state of Karnataka at an investment of Rs 4.5 billion.

Besides, it has sought the state government’s approval for setting up the plants.

The plants will have the capacity to process 100 tonnes per day (tpd) waste. While the municipal corporations will provide land for the plants and supply wet waste, GAIL will bear the operational costs.
