Desco Infratech Ltd has commissioned the first phase of a compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, through its subsidiary Shri Green Agro Energies Private Ltd (SGAEPL), marking the group's entry into the renewable energy sector. The facility has commenced operations with an initial production capacity of one tonne per day (TPD), against the plant's planned capacity of five TPD. Commercial sales are expected to begin shortly following the completion of operational preparations. The project forms part of the company's expansion strategy into bio-energy and is intended to convert agricultural residue and organic waste into clean fuel while supporting India's waste-to-energy and renewable energy objectives.
Desco Infratech Ltd has commissioned the first phase of its compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, through its wholly owned subsidiary Shri Green Agro Energies Private Ltd (SGAEPL), marking the company's entry into the renewable energy and sustainable fuels sector. The announcement was made in the past week, with the company stating that commercial operations are expected to commence shortly after the completion of final operational readiness activities.
The project has been developed with a total designed production capacity of five tonnes per day (TPD). Following the completion of the first phase, the facility has begun operations with an initial output capacity of one TPD, representing the first stage in the planned scale-up of the project to its full production capacity.
According to the company, the commencement of commercial sales will enable SGAEPL to begin generating revenue from its bio-energy business. The commissioning also fulfils a milestone outlined by Desco Infratech's management during its investor interaction in May 2026, when it had indicated plans to operationalise its CBG business as part of its diversification strategy.
The Bulandshahr facility has been designed to convert agricultural residue and organic waste into compressed biogas, contributing to waste management while producing an alternative clean fuel. The company stated that the project is expected to support lower greenhouse gas emissions, promote a circular economy and reduce dependence on conventional fossil fuels.
Desco said the investment aligns with the growing opportunities emerging in India's compressed biogas sector, driven by government initiatives promoting renewable energy, waste-to-energy projects and energy security. It noted that programmes such as the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) initiative have encouraged the development of bio-energy infrastructure across the country.
Managing Director Pankaj Pruthu Desai said the commissioning of the first phase represented an important milestone in the company's growth strategy and reflected its commitment to executing the roadmap communicated to investors. He added that the operationalisation of the plant establishes Desco's presence in the renewable energy value chain while creating a scalable platform for future expansion as the project progresses towards its full five TPD capacity.
The company also stated that the project is expected to contribute to consolidated revenue growth as production capacity increases. It plans to continue evaluating additional opportunities in bio-energy, clean energy and sustainable infrastructure as part of its long-term business strategy.
Desco Infratech is engaged in infrastructure development and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services across city gas distribution, power, renewable energy and related sectors. The company said its diversification into compressed biogas forms part of its broader strategy to expand into high-growth segments while supporting India's transition towards cleaner energy sources and sustainable infrastructure development.
