New Delhi: REnergy Dynamics (RED) has announced that its Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant in Nagothane has become India’s fastest CBG plant to exceed its nameplate capacity of more than 21 tonnes per day (TPD). This milestone makes it the only plant in the country to achieve nameplate capacity in less than 24 months. Additionally, it is only the second industrial-scale, multi-feedstock CBG plant in India to reach full nameplate production, the company said in a press release.
RED’s scope for the project included technology, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), and operations for one of India’s largest conglomerates.
Commenting on the milestone, Kushagra Nandan, Chairman and Managing Director of REnergy Dynamics, said both achievements mark a turning point in India’s CBG journey. He said RED has demonstrated that industrial-scale, multi-feedstock CBG plants can be designed, stabilised, and optimised in record time in India. According to him, the Nagothane project validates the company’s execution model and its belief that bioenergy can be scaled with technical rigour and economic discipline.
Varun Karad, CEO of REnergy Dynamics, said Nagothane was the company’s first competitive win, and achieving nameplate capacity at this pace reflects the strength of its engineering teams and operational strategy. He added that RED is building assets that are commercially viable and closely linked with the local ecosystem, supporting farmers, generating employment, and strengthening India’s clean energy transition.
Achieving stable, full-scale operations at a CBG plant of this size remains rare in the current bioenergy ecosystem. The Nagothane facility represents a significant step forward for India’s CBG and bioenergy sector, reinforcing confidence in the scalability and long-term viability of large bioenergy projects when designed and executed with rigour.
The Nagothane plant is engineered to process a diversified mix of feedstocks, including Napier grass, press mud cake, cow dung, paddy straw, bagasse, and cane trash. This multi-feedstock capability improves operational flexibility and ensures stable, year-round performance.
The facility integrates an advanced membrane-based gas upgrading system capable of delivering biomethane purity of up to 99 percent when required, with high methane recovery efficiency that maximises yield and strengthens plant economics.
