\Per day 3 tons of CNG and 20 tons of high-quality bio manure

Bhopal: India’s first modern and self-reliant Gaushala with bio CNG plant is ready for inauguration in Gwalior. In this Gaushala, a bio CNG plant has been established over 2 hectares in collaboration with Indian Oil Corporation. This plant will utilize 100 tons of cow dung to produce up to 3 tons of CNG per day and 20 tons of high-quality organic manure. Indian Oil Corporation will assist in operation and maintenance of the plant.

The Gaushala has been developed spending Rs. 32 crore from corporate social responsibility fund of Indian Oil Corporation. Considering its future expansion, additional one-hectare land has been reserved. In order to construct a modern cow-shed for 2,000 cows, at the Gaushala, Rs. 2 crore have been provided from the Local Area Development Fund of Member of Parliament.

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for realising his vision of “Waste to Wealth” for the nation. He also thanked the community of seers and devotees for taking care of mother cows. The state government will extend fullest possible support for the expansion of this initiative. It is worth recalling here that the largest bio CNG plant in Asia is operational at Indore, inaugurated by Prime Minister Shri Modi.

At the Lal Tipara Gaushala in Gwalior, 10,000 cows are being cared for with the support of the Gwalior Municipal Corporation and the saint community. An incubation centre will also be launched soon.

The Benefits

The plant will produce approximately 2 to 3 tons of bio CNG and about 20 tons of high-quality organic manure every day. This will generate an income of around Rs. 7 crore for the Gwalior Municipal Corporation.

This serves as a glaring world class example of collaboration between society and government for reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change issues. The bio CNG plant will help conserve the environment and provide employment opportunities to local persons.

It is going to economically sustain the Gaushala by utilizing cow dung as feed to the plant. Farmers living in surrounding districts of Gwalior will be encouragedto practice organic farming as they will be easily getting bio-manure at very reasonable prices.

MP Advancing in Green Energy Production

Madhya Pradesh has made rapid strides towards clean and green energy production. According to a recent report from the Union Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, the state ranks third in the establishment of bio gas plants in villages. Chandigarh stands first and Uttar Pradesh is ranked second. Madhya Pradesh has 104 biogas plants operational in various villages, with the highest 24 in Betul, 13 in Balaghat, and 12 in Singrauli. The availability of clean energy at the local level also helps in reducing carbon emissions.
