That’s the amount the Central Government is putting behind its GOBardhan Scheme; and the auto industry just got a quiet but massive upgrade. The scheme, running from FY27 to FY36, is designed to push compressed biogas (CBG) into India’s fuel ecosystem. Here’s the twist; while it’s framed as a green energy push, the real beneficiary? Your next CNG car. Right now, most CNG comes from imported LNG. CBG, made from agri-waste and dung, is homegrown. Same pipes. Same engines. Same cars; just greener and cheaper. Maruti Suzuki’s already in. But now, with guaranteed pricing, pipeline access, and mandatory blending starting this year (3% now, 5% by FY29), every automaker will have to take notice. If you’re eyeing a CNG car in the next 3-5 years, your options may explode; and your fuel bill may shrink. This isn’t just about sustainability. It’s about energy independence, local jobs, and smarter mobility. The government’s not just building pipelines; they’re building the future of Indian mobility on a biogas foundation. And it’s happening quietly, without the noise.
