Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Asia's biggest bio-CNG plant - the Gobar-Dhan plant in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
The municipal solid waste-based Gobar-Dhan plant is in line with the vision of creating garbage-free cities under the Swachh Bharat Mission Urban 2.0.
In the next two years, 75 more bio-CNG plants will be set up in 75 major municipal bodies of the country.
The bio-CNG plant will have the capacity to treat 550 tonne of segregated wet organic waste and produce around 17,000 kg CNG and 100 tonne of organic compost per day.
The plant will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide green energy along with organic compost as fertiliser.
