Paras Dairy and the KIS Group have announced a joint venture to set up ten Bio‑CNG plants in India, backed by a total investment of ₹1,000 crore.
Paras Dairy and the KIS Group have entered a partnership to develop ten Bio‑CNG (biomethane) plants across the country, committing a combined capital of ₹1,000 crore. The announcement was made in a joint statement that highlighted the venture’s focus on converting dairy waste into renewable natural gas.
Bio‑CNG is produced by processing organic waste such as cattle dung and milk‑processing effluents, turning it into a clean‑burning fuel that can replace conventional LPG and diesel. By tapping into the abundant waste streams of the dairy sector, the plants aim to reduce greenhouse‑gas emissions and provide a sustainable energy source for rural and urban users.
The partners plan to roll out the facilities over the next few years, although specific locations have not been disclosed. Each plant is expected to handle several thousand tonnes of waste annually, generating enough biomethane to power thousands of households or commercial fleets. The project aligns with India’s broader renewable‑energy targets and the government’s push for circular‑economy solutions in agriculture.
Industry analysts view the ₹1,000‑crore investment as a significant boost to the nascent Bio‑CNG market, which has been gaining traction due to policy incentives and growing demand for low‑carbon fuels. The collaboration could also create new revenue streams for dairy farmers by monetising waste that would otherwise be a disposal challenge.
