Reliance Industries starts work on first of 500 CBG plants in Andhra Pradesh
Apr-03-2025

Reliance Industries has laid the foundation stone of the first Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) plant at Kanigiri in Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh (AP). The project is being developed with a capital investment of Rs 139 crore and is the first in a series of 500 projects involving a total capital outlay of Rs 65,000 crore for AP. The plant will be developed with innovative technology and utilise Napier grass that would be developed on barren and waste lands to produce bio-gas. 

The project will result in significant livelihood to the rural economy through payment of lease revenues to the farmers, and additionally, a fixed price for the grass grown by farmers. The company has embarked on a bold journey to establish integrated CBG hubs across Andhra Pradesh. Around 500,000 acres of barren and waste lands in Prakasam, Anantapur, Chittoor, and Kadapa will be utilised for this purpose. Once all the plants are fully operational, they will produce 40 lakh tonne of green, clean CBG and Rs 1.1 million metric tonnes of organic fertiliser annually. This initiative is expected to create 250,000 jobs for rural youth.

Reliance Industries is India’s largest private sector company. The company’s activities span hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, retail and 4G digital services.
