Union Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, submitted a written report in the Lok Sabha stated that the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actively supporting bioenergy projects across India under the National Bioenergy Programme (NBP) Phase-I, launched on 2nd November 2022, with a total outlay of ₹998 crore for 2022-23 to 2025-26.
Over the past decade, the government has promoted bioenergy through schemes such as the National Biogas and Manure Management Programme (NBMMP), New National Biogas & Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP), biomass-based cogeneration in sugar mills, and energy generation from urban, industrial, and agricultural waste.
State-wise details of bioenergy projects installed over the last ten years are documented, and new projects are being implemented under NBP Phase-I to expand renewable energy capacity nationwide.
