- (a) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is implementing the New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP) for setting up small biogas plants in remote,  rural  and  semi-urban  areas  of  the  country.  Under  the  NNBOMP  scheme,  about 125836 numbers of biogas plants have been set up during the last three years, (2016-17 to 2018-19). The State/ UT-wise detail of the   biogas plants set up during the last three years is given in Annexure-I.
- (b) Under the National Biogas and Manure Management Programme implemented during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 and NNBOMP during the year 2018-19, a total of 125836 biogas plants have been set up.  The report of the independent evaluation study carried out for 12 th plan  period  ,  on  sampling  basis  ,  revealed  that  about  96.5  %  of  the  surveyed  plants  were found to be in working condition. The detail of the working and non-working biogas plants as brought  out  by  the  above  mentioned  study  is  given  in Annexure-  II. The  detail  of  the working  /  non-working  biogas  plants  inspected  during  the  year  2016-17  to  2018-19  as reported,  based  on  the  inspections  carried  out  by  the  Biogas  Development  and  Training Centres , is given in the Annexure- III.
- (c) Yes, Sir. Under the New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme, ISI marked double burner biogas stoves having a minimum of 55 % thermal efficiency of each burner have  been  approved.  Such  biogas  stoves  are  available  in  the  market  and  the  Programme Implementing Agencies of the States/ UTs are meeting the requirements of biogas stoves through various manufacturers in the country.
- (d)&(e)  The  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  is  implementing  a  Central  Sector Scheme, the New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP) for setting up small biogas plants, based on cattle dung and other mixed wastes in remote, rural and semi-urban areas of the country.  Under the NNBOMP, a target of setting up 76,000 small biogas  plants  has  been  fixed  for  the  current  year,  2019-20.
