Desco Infratech Subsidiary Commissions Phase-I of 5 TPD Compressed Biogas Plant
Desco Infratech Limited announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Desco Biogreen Private Limited, has successfully commissioned Phase-I of a 5 tonnes per day (TPD) Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant, marking the company’s entry into the operational stage of the bioenergy business.
The project represents a significant milestone for Desco Biogreen, which was established to expand the group’s presence in the renewable energy and waste-to-energy sectors. The facility has been developed to convert organic waste into compressed biogas, a cleaner alternative fuel that can be used in transportation, industrial applications and city gas distribution networks.
Phase-I commissioning signifies that critical plant infrastructure and processing systems have become operational, enabling the facility to commence biogas production activities. The project is designed with an ultimate production capacity of 5 TPD of CBG, contributing to India’s broader efforts to increase domestic production of renewable gaseous fuels under initiatives such as SATAT and GOBARdhan.
Compressed biogas has emerged as an important component of India’s energy transition strategy because it can be produced from agricultural residues, organic waste, industrial by-products and other biodegradable feedstocks while simultaneously addressing waste management challenges. The fuel can be supplied through existing gas distribution infrastructure and used as a substitute for conventional fossil-based fuels.
For Desco Infratech, the commissioning marks a diversification beyond its traditional infrastructure businesses, which include city gas distribution, power distribution and utility infrastructure projects. The company has been expanding its footprint in the renewable energy segment through its subsidiary platform and investments in bioenergy projects.
The successful completion of Phase-I is expected to pave the way for subsequent stages of development and commercial operations at the facility. As India’s CBG ecosystem continues to expand, projects of this nature are expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting cleaner energy production, rural income generation and circular economy initiatives.
The original stock exchange disclosure contains additional plant-specific details. If you share the full ScanX article or BSE filing, I can rewrite this in a much more precise ET Infra-style format with exact location, feedstock, commissioning scope and commercial details rather than a generic corporate update.
