REnergy Dynamics (RED), a company dedicated to advancing the bioenergy sector in India, has launched a specialized initiative offering comprehensive engineering services for small CBG plants (up to 3.5 TPD capacity/1 Digester) at a cost of ₹10 lakhs. The initiative was inaugurated by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, at the Curtain Raiser event for the India Bioenergy & Tech Expo 2025.
Data from the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) portal shows that over 30% of plants, with a capacity of up to 3.5 TPD, out of approximately 500 plants are in the “Yet to Start Construction” phase, highlighting the need for tailored support. The initiative aims to empower grassroots entrepreneurs by making high-quality design and engineering for CBG plants accessible and affordable, addressing a key gap in the sector where smaller projects often face prohibitively high costs for these solutions.
Kushagra Nandan, Chairman & Managing Director of RED, said, “With this initiative, we are bringing global engineering excellence to the grassroots level — making it possible for smaller entrepreneurs to drive India’s green energy revolution. This is a step towards democratizing CBG plants to meet the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of a sustainable, self-reliant, and energy-secure India.”
RED’s comprehensive engineering solutions will cover the entire engineering scope, including basic design philosophy, critical equipment list, mass and heat balance, mechanical and piping layouts, civil engineering for digesters, and electrical and instrumentation design. All the services offered shall comply with global quality standards like ASME, ANSI, API, and IS Codes. While standardization will be maintained to ensure speed and affordability, the initiative will allow for location-specific customization that addresses plot dimensions, climate conditions, local construction norms and integration with existing infrastructure.
Varun Karad, CEO of RED, added, “Our goal is simple — to make professional engineering accessible and affordable to every aspiring CBG developer. By offering end-to-end services under one roof at an affordable price point, we aim to accelerate the set-up of small CBG plants, create local economic opportunities, and strengthen India’s bio-economy.”
REnergy Dynamics (RED) is actively contributing to India’s ambitious goal of establishing 5,000 Compressed Biogas (CBG) plants by 2030 under the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) initiative. The initiative is expected to especially benefit rural and semi-urban areas by enabling entrepreneurs to set up decentralized biogas plants, utilizing local feedstock and serving local energy needs, even in regions where access to large off-take infrastructure is limited.
With this initiative, RED once again reaffirms its commitment to fueling India’s green energy transition and bringing innovation, quality, and affordability to the CBG industry.
