MGL to get 18 acres in Deonar for biomethanation plant, under Gobardhan scheme
The Maharashtra Cabinet on Tuesday approved the allotment of 18 acres of land in Mumbai's Deonar area to Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) at a concessional rate for setting up a compressed biogas plant. The decision, taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, is in line with the Centre's Gobardhan scheme, which aims to establish 500 biogas projects across urban India, including 75 biomethanation plants. While the capital costs for these projects will be borne by oil and gas marketing companies, states have been instructed to provide land and basic infrastructure at nominal rates. The state has cleared the proposal to lease the Deonar land to MGL for a 25-year period. The project will have a daily biomethanation capacity of 500 tonnes and will produce compressed biogas for commercial use. The annual lease fee for the land has been fixed at Rs 72,843. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed between Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and MGL to formalise the arrangement. Officials said the project is expected to help manage solid waste sustainably while also contributing to green energy production in the city.
