Where India's Biomass Pipeline Stands
Projects India tracks 155 live projects in the Non Conventional Power Projects (Biomass) sub-sector, with 10 added in the last 90 days. The pipeline spans multiple states, with Maharashtra leading at 29 tracked projects, followed by Gujarat and Karnataka at 18 each, Andhra Pradesh at 15, Punjab at 12, and Madhya Pradesh at 11.
This geographic spread reflects broad investor interest in biomass and biogas infrastructure, from established industrial states such as Gujarat and Maharashtra to agricultural-surplus states such as Punjab, where feedstock availability supports compressed biogas economics.

Stage Breakdown: Where Projects Are in the Cycle
Of the 155 tracked projects, 61 are currently under approvals — the largest single cohort — indicating a substantial volume of work that could move to construction procurement in the near term. A further 24 are in planning, while 13 have commenced construction, representing active on-site activity. Twenty-four projects are recorded as completed, 15 are on hold, and 11 have been cancelled.
The concentration of projects in the approvals and planning stages suggests that the procurement window for equipment, civil works and engineering services is approaching for a meaningful share of the pipeline. Suppliers tracking early-stage opportunities should note that the under-approvals cohort alone represents roughly 39 per cent of all tracked projects in this sub-sector.
Broader Biogas Sector Momentum
The Petronet LNG–Gruner commitment sits within a period of heightened activity in India's compressed biogas and biomass power space. Equipment manufacturers are also seeing recognition for their role in scaling the sector — STEER World recently won a CBG equipment award in 2026 as 130 processing lines advanced — while operators such as TruAlt Bioenergy have reported growing revenues and capacity targets, as covered separately by Projects India.
The Power Projects sector overview provides a broader view of capital activity across conventional and non-conventional segments, including the biomass sub-sector.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The Rs 1,200 crore Petronet LNG–Gruner biogas investment is a procurement signal for suppliers of biogas processing equipment, civil and structural contractors, pipeline and compression specialists, and project engineering firms. With 61 biomass projects currently under approvals nationally and 13 already in construction, the sector offers concurrent near-term and medium-term opportunities.
Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka collectively account for 65 of the 155 tracked projects, making these states the primary geography for business development activity. Punjab's 12 projects are notable given the state's agricultural residue base, which is a primary feedstock for compressed biogas plants.
- Equipment suppliers: Biogas upgrading, compression and storage equipment demand is likely to grow as under-approval projects receive clearances.
- Civil contractors: Plant construction, digester fabrication and site infrastructure across Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka represent the densest opportunity clusters.
- Engineering and project management firms: The planning-stage cohort of 24 projects represents early-engagement opportunities ahead of formal tendering.
Projects India currently records zero open tenders in the broader Power Projects sector. Suppliers are advised to monitor the pipeline closely as approvals convert to procurement.
