GPS Renewables, the Bengaluru-based biofuels technology company, has entered into a partnership with the Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) to set up Compressed Biogas Plants (CBG Plants). 

Under the agreement, subject to the approval from NITI Aayog and DIPAM, both entities would have a 50:50 equity stake in the proposed joint venture. 

GPS Renewables, through its project development arm GPSR Arya, aims to expand BioFuel projects across India. Currently, GPSR is incubating projects nationwide, with a particular focus on the northeast and southern states, where biogas projects are less prevalent. From incubating one of India's largest biogas plants in Indore to becoming a leading name in the industry, this partnership with IOCL signifies a significant step forward.

Mainak Chakraborty, CEO and Co-Founder of GPS Renewables, said, "This proposed joint venture with Indian Oil Corporation is a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing biofuel technology. Together, we aim to accelerate the deployment of Compressed Biogas Plants across the country, bringing us closer to a greener, more sustainable future. We look forward to working hand in hand with IOCL to swiftly establish multiple projects, demonstrating the maturity of the biogas sector."
