The wait is over. On April 22, 2026, the Maharashtra Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, greenlit the Maharashtra State Compressed Biogas (CBG) Policy 2026.
With an initial outlay of ₹500 crore for this fiscal year, the state is moving from “pilot projects” to “industrial-scale dominance.”
What’s New in the 2026 Policy?
The government is addressing the three biggest hurdles in the biogas industry: Capital, Feedstock, and Market Risk.
- Direct Financial Support (VGF): The state has allocated ₹500 crore to provide Viability Gap Funding.
Individual projects can now receive state subsidies of up to ₹10 crore, depending on their capacity -
The Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM): For the first time, biogas projects will be executed on a PPP/Hybrid Annuity basis.
This means the government shares the capital risk, providing periodic payments that ensure your project stays cash-flow positive during the early years. - Mandatory Waste Segregation: Maharashtra’s 423 urban local bodies are now mandated to perform strict source segregation.
This guarantees a steady stream of organic wet waste for your plant. - The Cluster Strategy: Smaller talukas will be grouped into “clusters” to ensure that even regions with lower waste volumes can sustain a plant with a minimum capacity of 200 tonnes per day.
