Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has called for the formation of task forces to facilitate the establishment of waste‑to‑biogas projects across Maharashtra.
The Maharashtra government has announced a new initiative to convert municipal waste into biogas, aiming to address both waste management and renewable energy challenges.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis urged the creation of dedicated task forces that will work with local bodies and private partners to design and implement biogas plants.
Experts say the projects could reduce landfill usage, lower greenhouse‑gas emissions, and provide a sustainable energy source for rural and urban communities.
The next step involves identifying suitable sites, securing funding, and drafting guidelines for the task forces, the CM added during a press briefing.
