Maruti Suzuki is set to establish a biogas plant at its Kharkhoda facility and expand the existing biogas plant in Manesar, with a total investment of Rs 150 crore for the two projects. The announcement was made by Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, on Friday.
Reducing Fossil Fuel Consumption
Takeuchi stated, "Maruti Suzuki has been consistently working on initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption. In line with this, we are setting up a new 10 tonnes-per-day biogas plant at the Kharkhoda facility as well as expanding the existing biogas plant at Manesar facility." The initiative comes amid energy supply constraints triggered by conflicts in West Asia.
Alignment with National Priorities
Highlighting the significance of the project, Takeuchi added, "As the Prime Minister has called for reducing dependence on fossil fuels, the commissioning of our biogas project comes at an appropriate time. It enables us to contribute, in a modest but meaningful way, to the current national priority alongside several other ongoing efforts."
The biogas plants are expected to generate renewable energy from organic waste, reducing the company's carbon footprint and supporting India's transition to cleaner energy sources. This move also aligns with the government's push for sustainable practices and energy independence.
