India has installed 186 waste-to-energy facilities with a combined capacity of 317.03 MW for the production of biogas and bio CNG power from industrial waste and wastewater. Since it involves producing power from rubbish and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, the waste-to-energy market is presenting an enticing potential for investors and project developers to offer solutions to the pressing needs of trash management and a reliable renewable energy source. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is promoting the national effort to recover energy from industrial, urban, and rural wastes, and it has accelerated the sector's rapid expansion.
