  • The portal allows government, cooperative, or private entities involved in or planning to establish Biogas/CBG/Bio-CNG plants to obtain a registration number by enrolling in the portal.
  • This registration number provides access to various benefits and support from the Ministries and Departments of the Government of India.

GOBARdhan Scheme:
