Juno Joule Bio Fuels to set up 10 CBG plants in Telangana; to invest ₹700 crore

Bioenergy company Juno Joule Bio Fuels is setting up a large-scale compressed bio-gas (CBG) project at the Narmetta Industrial Area in Siddipet district of Telangana.

The initiative is part of a larger cluster development comprising 10 CBG plants, each with a capacity of 10 tonnes per day (TPD), aggregating to a total production capacity of 100 TPD, with a total planned investment of ₹700 crore.

The first phase comprises three CBG units (10 TPD each) with an investment of ₹210 crore, and the groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 12. The project will be implemented in three phases — Phase 1 (3 plants), Phase 2 (3 plants), and Phase 3 (4 plants), with the entire cluster expected to be completed by 2029–2030. The plants will convert agricultural residue such as paddy straw and organic waste streams, including poultry waste and cattle dung, into clean fuel.

“Our cluster-based approach is designed to deliver consistency at scale, unlock value from agricultural waste, and contribute meaningfully to India’s energy security and rural economy,” said Nagasharath Rayapati, CEO of Juno Joule Bio Fuels.

The project is being implemented under the Government of India’s CBG–CGD Synchronisation Scheme, which aims to integrate compressed bio-gas into the city gas distribution (CGD) network. The project has secured structured offtake arrangements with GAIL (India) Limited and Bhagyanagar Gas Limited (BGL).

India’s CBG sector is entering a high-growth phase, shifting from voluntary adoption to a mandatory blending framework—1% in CNG/PNG, rising to 5% by 2028–29. Backed by the SATAT initiative, this is driving capacity expansion toward 15,000 TPD, aimed at reducing gas imports, strengthening energy security, and supporting rural incomes.
