Madhya Pradesh is taking another step toward sustainable energy and waste management with the announcement of a new integrated compressed biogas (CBG) and biofertiliser facility in Damoh district. The project has been awarded to Organic Recycling Systems Limited (ORSL) by Shreyam Manek Agro Products Pvt. Ltd., marking a significant development in agricultural waste-to-energy infrastructure in the state.
The upcoming facility is designed to produce around 10 tonnes of compressed biogas per day by utilizing agricultural feedstock such as crop residues and organic waste. By converting farm waste into energy, the project aims to create a circular system where agricultural by-products are transformed into valuable resources instead of being discarded.
A unique feature of the project is its integration with a modern gaushala, which will provide additional organic input for the biogas production process. Alongside compressed biogas, the plant will also generate biofertiliser, offering farmers a natural and nutrient-rich alternative to chemical fertilisers. This dual output not only supports renewable energy generation but also contributes to improving soil health and sustainable farming practices.
Under the agreement, ORSL will take equity participation in the project and will be responsible for executing the entire engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) scope. The company will handle every stage of the project, including detailed engineering, technology integration, supply of equipment, construction, installation, and final commissioning of the facility.
The Damoh plant is not an isolated initiative. It is part of a larger programme that plans to develop 10 similar integrated facilities across Madhya Pradesh over the next three years. The total estimated investment for this programme is expected to range between ₹5 billion and ₹6 billion, highlighting the state’s growing focus on renewable energy and agricultural waste management.
Officials associated with the project believe that such initiatives will play an important role in strengthening agriculture-based energy systems while promoting efficient resource utilisation. By converting organic waste into fuel and fertiliser, the facility is expected to reduce environmental impact, support farmers with sustainable inputs, and contribute to India’s broader transition toward clean and renewable energy sources.
Beyond this project, ORSL continues to expand its footprint in the bioenergy sector. The company’s operations include project development, technology licensing, production of compressed biogas and organic manure, consulting services, and long-term operation and maintenance support. It also collaborates with academic institutions to advance research in bioenergy technologies, further supporting innovation in the renewable energy ecosystem.
With projects like the Damoh facility, Madhya Pradesh is positioning itself as an emerging hub for agricultural waste-to-energy solutions, demonstrating how rural resources can be harnessed to build a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
