Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has signed multiple Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) tripartite agreements across key regions of Uttar Pradesh to strengthen its renewable gas network.
In the Lakhimpur geographical area, BPCL signed three agreements with two producers, adding a total capacity of 34 tonnes per day (TPD). The deals include a 10 TPD plant in Pilibhit with RBML (JioBP) and two 12 TPD plants in Sitapur with Ladelite Power.
The proposed plants are expected to begin production by July 2026, increasing the supply of green fuel in underserved areas.
With these additions, the Lakhimpur geographical area now has 18 signed agreements, taking the total contracted CBG capacity to more than 145 TPD. The move is aimed at expanding decentralised renewable gas sourcing and supporting rural bio-economy development.
At the same time, the Amethi–Pratapgarh–Raebareli geographical area expanded its renewable gas portfolio by signing two additional agreements with Reliance. These include a 5 TPD plant in Ayodhya and another facility in Haidergarh in Barabanki district. Supply from these plants is expected to begin in April 2026.
With the new agreements, this geographical area now has seven active contracts, with a total capacity of 28 TPD. The region is currently operating at 10 percent CBG blending and has set a target of reaching 20 percent blending by April 2026, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and improve regional energy security.
Commenting on the development, Rahul Tandon, Business Head at BPCL, said the agreements reflect the company’s structured approach to integrating Compressed Bio-Gas into its city gas distribution network. He said expanding renewable gas sourcing and increasing blending levels support the country’s decarbonisation goals while building a more resilient and low-carbon energy system.
Between April 2025 and January 2026, BPCL signed 31 agreements, adding a contracted capacity of 255 TPD. Overall, the company has signed 44 agreements up to January 2026, representing a total contracted CBG capacity of 284 TPD across its city gas distribution network.
At the company level, BPCL has achieved 3.6 percent CBG blending, with a peak blending level of 5.84 percent recorded in January 2026, indicating steady progress in expanding green gas adoption.
