Udaipur Biogas Plant Adopts Khadi Model with Commission Support
What happened
On September 1, 2026, a biogas digester plant in Udaipur successfully implemented a Khadi model with support from the Khadi and Village Industries Commission. This facility is part of a larger operation established on the former Balicha dumping yard to process waste and produce Compressed Bio Gas (CBG).

Why it matters
The plant was developed under the Smart City Mission to address the previous system where waste was dumped at the Balicha landfill, which resulted in high transportation costs and increased pollution for Udaipur. The city chose to produce CBG because there was no state-level power-purchase policy for waste-to-energy.
