In a major boost to sustainable waste management and green energy, Jaipur is set to host Rajasthan’s first bio-waste de-compost plant at Muhana Mandi. The ambitious project aims to convert organic waste into Compressed Bio Gas (CBG), offering a cleaner and cheaper fuel alternative while improving waste disposal systems in the state capital.
Jaipur to Get Rajasthan’s First Bio-Waste De-Compost Plant
According to officials, the plant will process nearly 50 tonnes of green waste daily generated from the Muhana wholesale market. This waste will be used to produce CBG gas, which can be directly utilized in CNG vehicles. The bio gas is expected to be available at an affordable rate of around ₹62 per kilogram, making it significantly cheaper than conventional CNG currently available in the market.
CBG Gas to Be Available at ₹62 per Kg
The project, estimated to cost ₹28 crore, has already received approval from the government. Construction is expected to be completed within seven months, and the plant is likely to be commissioned by August 2026. Once operational, it will become the first facility in Rajasthan to independently produce CBG gas from bio-waste.
Officials believe the initiative will address multiple challenges simultaneously—effective disposal of green waste, production of renewable energy, and generation of organic manure for farmers. The by-products of the plant will be used as fertilizer, providing additional benefits to the agricultural sector.
Before finalizing the plan, a Mandi Samiti team conducted detailed studies of successful bio-waste and biogas models in Surat, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad. After evaluating various systems, the Surat model was found to be the most efficient and has been adopted for implementation in Jaipur.
For the project, around 8 bighas of land near the mandi office have been allocated to the company. While the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is yet to be finalized, officials confirmed that under the agreement, 50% of the revenue generated will go to the Mandi Samiti. The plant is expected to produce nearly 2,000 kg of CBG gas daily.
This initiative marks a significant step toward clean energy, circular economy, and sustainable urban development in Jaipur and Rajasthan as a whole.
