According to the latest report by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Govt. of India, it is planned to roll out 5,000 CBG plants across India in a phased manner. These plants are expected to produce 15 million tonnes of CBG per annum, which is about 40 percent of current CNG consumption of 44 million tonnes per annum in the country. RBI has also notified that Loans to start-ups(up to Rs 50 crore) for setting up Compressed Biogas(CBG) plants are included under priority sector lending.
Ecodhara Magnatek has made significant strides in converting organic waste into renewable energy, tackling some of the most critical challenges in the current energy landscape. The government’s ambitious goal of establishing 5,000 compressed biogas (CBG) plants under the SATAT initiative has placed the company in a leading position within this emerging and highly promising sector. By effectively bridging technological innovation with grassroots implementation, Ecodhara Magnatek has set new industry standards for sustainability and innovation.
A key strength of Ecodhara Magnatek lies in its ability to offer comprehensive, end-to-end solutions. This ensures that clients are not confronted with the typical obstacles associated with biogas production. The company’s services range from plant design and conceptualization to ensuring smooth operations with use of predictive analytics, offering unmatched support throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Additionally, the application of proprietary technologies, such as zero-liquid discharge systems and the Dry & Wet Dual Anaerobic technology, has significantly enhanced operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact by minimizing waste discharge. This integrated approach is a testament to the company’s dedication to fostering a sustainable energy ecosystem.
As a registered vendor for the National Federation for Cooperative Sugar Factories, Ecodhara Magnatek plays a critical role in enabling cooperative sugar factories to diversify into renewable energy and sustainable practices. This partnership proves beneficial to vendors providing related products or services.

Natasha Gangal,Founder & Director(Business Development), highlights the importance of strategic collaborations in scaling operations. “Our partnerships with local governments, industries, and farming communities ensure a reliable supply of raw materials and smooth project execution. For example, in Maharashtra, our projects align with state level agricultural waste management initiatives, generating value for all stakeholders involved.” These collaborations are crucial for achieving scalability and replicability, key elements of the company’s vision to become a unicorn in the renewable energy sector within four years.
Director Amit Kothari sheds light on the financial feasibility of Ecodhara Magnatek’s projects. “The incorporation of tax incentives, interest subsidies, and viability gap funding into our financial models makes biogas projects financially attractive. This approach not only mitigates investment risks but also accelerates the return timeline, benefiting all stakeholders.” The company’s robust financial structuring has been vital to its success, enabling it to undertake and complete projects of diverse scales and complexities.
