Delhi has inaugurated a new biogas plant costing ₹16 crore aimed at diverting dairy waste from entering the Yamuna River.
Delhi has opened a new biogas plant in the capital, a ₹16‑crore investment designed to keep dairy waste out of the Yamuna River. The facility will process waste from local dairies and convert it into biogas, which can be used as a renewable energy source.
The plant is part of the city’s broader strategy to curb pollution in the Yamuna and improve waste management. By diverting organic waste from landfills and the river, Delhi aims to reduce methane emissions and improve water quality.
Officials say the plant will handle a significant volume of dairy effluent each day, turning a major environmental challenge into a sustainable energy solution. The project is expected to create local jobs and support the city’s green energy targets.
