Frequently Asked Questions
What is covered?
Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG), bio-CNG, biomass pellets and briquettes, biodiesel, ethanol-adjacent projects and waste-to-energy.
Who is eligible?
Project developers setting up production plants above the notified minimum capacity.
What incentives are offered?
Capital subsidy per unit of installed capacity (a distinguishing feature — subsidy is capacity-linked rather than purely investment-linked), land facilitation on government land, stamp duty exemption, electricity duty exemption and transport/logistics support.
Is feedstock support available?
Facilitation for parali (paddy straw) and agri-residue aggregation, and for press mud and cattle dung linkages for CBG.
How does it converge with Central schemes?
With SATAT (offtake assurance from oil marketing companies for CBG), GOBARdhan, and MNRE waste-to-energy programmes.
Who is the nodal agency?
UPNEDA, with the Additional Sources of Energy Department.
What is the critical diligence item?
Feedstock security and the offtake agreement. Projects fail on feedstock, not on capital.
What is the district relevance?
Municipal solid waste-to-energy and industrial biomass are the realistic segments in an urbanised district.
