Indian Biogas Association hails govt move to hike procurement price of CBG
Industry body Indian Biogas Association (IBA) on Sunday hailed the government's decision to hike the procurement price of compressed biogas, saying the move will meaningfully support unlocking the latent value of the sector.
However, it stated that the hike is less than the anticipated and hoped for another upward revision soon.
The petroleum ministry has revised upward the CBG procurement price from Rs 1,380 per Metric Million British Thermal Unit to Rs 1,478/MMBTU, with effect from June 1. The revised rate will be effective till October 31, 2025.
This move demonstrates greater appreciation for the economics of the industry and will meaningfully support unlocking the latent value of bioenergy in India, IBA said in a statement.
Gaurav Kedia, IBA Chairman, said: "This change in price is a step in the right direction for CBG developers as it corresponds with their reality. However, a higher revision was anticipated, considering the economics of the production, which can also shoulder CBG's long-held aspirations of contributing to the sustenance of India's energy independence by fastening progress on existing and new developers in the industry." According to Kedia, while a parity with CNG at pre-tax level is achieved with the announcement, there is an urgent need of further upward revision to honour and provide premium to the greener molecule.
He also suggested "formulating a green certificatation framework with cap and trade should be mandated for companies having higher carbon footprint is the way forward".
IBA in its statement said that a further upward revision could play a crucial role in improving return on investment for entrepreneurs and MSMEs, scaling up decentralised CBG production across rural India, attracting institutional finance and FDI into the sector, and accelerating progress toward national targets on clean mobility, waste management, and energy self-reliance.
The present step reaffirm the government's objective of supporting the adoption of cleaner fuel, facilitating economic development in rural areas, and advancing the country's circular carbon-neutral economy, it added.

Torrent Power up 2% on signing long-term SPA with BP Singapore Pte; details
Torrent Power share price: Torrent Power share price rose as much as 2.04 per cent to hit an intraday high of ₹1,425 per share on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. At 10:02 AM, Torrent Power share price was trading 1.36 per cent higher at ₹1,415.40 per share. In comparison, BSE Sensex was trading 0.39 per cent lower at 81,052.57 levels. Why did Torrent Power share price rise in trade today? Shares of Torrent Power Ltd rose in trade today after the company announced a long-term Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with BP Singapore Pte. Limited, a subsidiary of global energy major bp, for the supply of up to 0.41 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Under the agreement, LNG supply will commence from 2027 and continue through 2036, and will be used to fuel Torrent's 2,730 MW gas-based power plants to support India's increasing power demand, peak load requirements, and renewable energy balancing. The supply will also meet the growing gas requirements of Torrent Gas Ltd, the group's city gas distribution (CGD) business, which services households, commercial and industrial customers, and CNG vehicles, the company said, in a statement. The move is seen as a strategic step toward boosting energy security and supporting India's target of increasing the share of natural gas in the energy mix to 15 per cent by 2030. Torrent Power also plans to leverage the current softness in LNG prices to explore additional medium- and long-term procurement opportunities.
