STEER World Recognised for CBG Equipment Innovation
STEER World has won the India Green Energy Award 2026 for innovation in compressed biogas (CBG) equipment, with 130 CBG processing lines reported to be advancing, according to reports published on 28 October 2026 by BioEnergy Times, Manufacturing Today India and Chemical Industry Digest. No financial value for the award or associated contracts was disclosed in the available reports.
All three outlets corroborated the award win. The figure of 130 CBG processing lines advancing was reported by Manufacturing Today India alone and has not been independently confirmed by the other two publications.
What the Award Covers
The India Green Energy Award 2026 was given to STEER World specifically for innovation in CBG equipment. CBG, or compressed biogas, is produced by processing organic waste — agricultural residue, municipal solid waste and other biomass feedstocks — and compressing the resulting biogas to a standard comparable to compressed natural gas. Equipment suppliers in this space provide extruders, pre-treatment systems and processing lines to project developers and plant operators.
STEER World's recognition comes at a period of notable activity in the CBG segment in India, with multiple plant projects at various stages of development tracked across the country. Related activity in the segment includes a joint venture between Petronet LNG and Gruner Renewable Energy to build 10 CBG plants for Rs 1,200 crore, and TruAlt Bioenergy targeting 162.2 TPD of CBG capacity.

Biomass Power Project Pipeline Across India
Projects India tracks 154 live projects in the Non Conventional Power Projects (Biomass) sub-sector, with 10 added in the last 90 days. The stage breakdown reveals where activity is concentrated and where it may convert to procurement opportunities.
- Under Approvals: 61 projects — the largest single cohort, representing near-term pipeline for equipment and civil contractors once approvals are granted
- Planning: 24 projects — at an earlier stage but relevant for early-engagement strategies
- Completed: 24 projects
- Hold: 15 projects
- Construction Started: 13 projects — active sites with live procurement requirements
- Cancelled: 11 projects
Geographically, the tracked project base is concentrated in a handful of states. Maharashtra leads with 29 projects, followed by Karnataka (18), Gujarat (17), Andhra Pradesh (15), Punjab (12) and Madhya Pradesh (11). Together these six states account for the majority of the tracked biomass power project count, pointing to where supplier and contractor activity is densest.
Among recently tracked projects in the broader non-conventional segment, Adishyam Biotech Private Limited has a compressed biogas plant project at Amreli, Gujarat, currently under approvals. A Rs 16 crore biogas plant in Delhi was also recently inaugurated, as covered in our earlier report on the Delhi biogas plant inaugurated by CM Rekha Gupta.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
For equipment suppliers and engineering contractors active in the CBG space, STEER World's award win serves as a signal of commercial traction in a segment that is generating consistent project flow. With 61 biomass-related projects currently under approvals nationally and 13 already in construction, there are two distinct procurement windows open simultaneously: early-stage engagement with promoters seeking to finalise technology and equipment packages, and active tendering on construction-stage sites.
The geographic concentration in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat suggests that suppliers with regional presence or distribution reach in these states are better positioned to respond quickly as under-approval projects convert. Punjab's 12 tracked projects are also notable given the state's agricultural residue base, which is a primary feedstock for CBG production.
The figure of 130 CBG processing lines advancing, if confirmed, would represent substantial forward order visibility for equipment manufacturers and indicate that the segment is moving beyond pilot and demonstration scale toward commercial rollout. Suppliers in pre-treatment, gas upgrading and compression equipment are among those likely to see enquiry volumes rise as these lines progress.
