Overview

• The new facility in Kamar village near Kosi Kalan can process 2.5 tonnes of cow dung per day into CNG, marking Delhi’s first operational bio-CNG plant.
• Gupta has committed to commissioning two additional cow-dung gas plants by year-end and completing a broader network within two years to ensure no dung reaches the Yamuna.
• She instructed departmental officials on June 29 to identify land parcels near Delhi’s dairy colonies suitable for future biogas installations.
• The biogas initiative follows reports that thousands of tonnes of cow dung generated daily by over 12,000 dairy units currently pollute city drains and the Yamuna.
• During her Vrindavan visit to Banke Bihari Temple, Gupta linked her environmental agenda to spiritual inspiration to strengthen public engagement.
