Juno Joule begins ₹7 billion cluster-based CBG project in Telangana

Juno Joule Bio Fuels has started groundwork on a ₹7 billion cluster-based compressed biogas (CBG) project in Siddipet district, Telangana. The first phase of three plants (₹2.10 billion) will integrate with GAIL and Bhagyanagar Gas under the Centre’s CBG–CGD Synchronisation Scheme.

According to a company release, Juno Joule Bio Fuels Private Limited has commenced groundwork for its flagship cluster-based Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) project at Narmetta Industrial Area in Siddipet district, Telangana. The overall plan includes 10 CBG plants, each of 10 tonnes per day capacity, aggregating to 100 TPD with a total investment of ₹7 billion.

The first phase comprises three plants at ₹2.10 billion, with full cluster completion targeted for 2029-30. Juno Joule is a clean energy company focused on bio-fuel infrastructure. The initiative is being implemented under the Centre’s CBG–CGD Synchronisation Scheme, with structured offtake agreements secured with GAIL (India) Limited and Bhagyanagar Gas Limited for integration into the City Gas Distribution network.

Feedstock will include agricultural residues (paddy straw), poultry litter, and cattle dung. The project aims to curb stubble burning and support circular economy principles. This development matters because India is moving toward mandatory CBG blending to reduce fossil fuel imports.

For agricultural waste suppliers, biogas equipment manufacturers, and CGD network operators, the cluster-based model offers scalability and supply consistency. Investors should note that offtake agreements with GAIL provide demand visibility for industrial and mobility applications in the Hyderabad market.

The project aligns with the GOBARdhan scheme and Telangana’s green infrastructure push, potentially creating replicable frameworks for other states. Telangana’s Industries Minister highlighted the project’s role in rural economic development and emissions reduction.
