(MSW) has reached a daily production of 20 tonnes, making it the most productive CBG facility in the country. Operated by
EverEnviro
Resource Management Pvt Ltd in partnership with the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), the facility has achieved the highest Plant Load Factor (PLF) in the sector.
Commissioned in 2022 and inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the plant processes 550 metric tonnes of segregated organic waste every day. Built on a site that earlier contained more than 2,00,000 metric tonnes of legacy waste, the facility contributes to an estimated reduction of 70,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions annually.
Mahesh Girdhar, MD & CEO of EverEnviro, said, 'This achievement underscores the viability of industrial-scale bioenergy solutions in addressing urban waste challenges. It reflects effective collaboration across stakeholders and alignment with national climate and sustainability targets. Indore demonstrates what integrated, outcome-driven infrastructure can deliver.'
In addition to 20 tonnes per day of CBG, the plant also generates 40 metric tonnes of organic fertilizer daily. The gas is distributed to over 15,000 households through Avantika Gas, Gujarat Gas, and Naveria Gas and is also used to power Indore's city bus fleet.
Recognised as a national benchmark, the Indore plant has attracted interest from urban local bodies across India and international delegations from the UK, Nepal and Southeast Asia. The site has also become a hub for students, researchers and policymakers exploring scalable models for waste-to-energy and urban sustainability.
The project aligns with India's clean energy and circular economy objectives and supports national initiatives like the Swachh Bharat Mission Urban 2.0 and SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation), contributing to India's broader net zero goals.
