Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has recently inaugurated the MEPL BioEnergy Biagas Plant-the First CBG Plant in Batala & CGD Connectivity Project for Punjab and Haryana, along with the newly-upgraded sugar mill facility in Batala.

The Indian Biogas Association (IBA) has suggested that the government formulate a scheme similar to Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) being implemented in the oil and gas sector, for fertilizers, to ensure guaranteed purchase of fermented organic manure (FOM) by fertilizer marketing companies.
