Great initiative but hope the implementation is proper. We've seen many such projects fail due to poor maintenance and corruption. 300 tonnes per day is significant - let's see if they can sustain this long-term.

This is exactly what India needs - circular economy in action! Waste to energy and organic manure for agriculture. Hope this becomes a model for other cities. 🇮🇳✨

Good to see GAIL diversifying into renewable energy. 12.6 tonnes CBG daily can power many vehicles and reduce our dependence on imported fuels. This aligns perfectly with our energy security goals.

The 22 tonnes of organic manure daily is impressive! This could really help local farmers reduce chemical fertilizer use. Hope the pricing is affordable for small farmers in Karnataka.
