## (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a) & (b) As on 30.11.2022, 6 plants with BioCNG generation capacity of 29520 kg/day and 12 plants with electricity generation capacity of 164.14 MW from municipal solid waste (MSW) are running in the country. The State-wise details are given at Annexure-I.
- (c) to (e) The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing Waste to Energy (WTE) Programme under the umbrella of National Bioenergy Programme.  The WTE Programme has a budget outlay of Rs 600 crore for the period FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26. This Programme aims to support setting up of Waste to Energy plants for generation of Biogas, BioCNG and electricity from urban, industrial and agricultural waste by providing central financial assistance (CFA) (However, new MSW to Power projects are not supported under the Programme). Such projects are set up in various  States/UTs  by  project  developers  and  interested  developers  seek  CFA  under  the Programme.

Further,  Ministry  of  Petroleum  and  Natural  Gas,  under  the  Sustainable  Alternative  Towards Affordable  Transportation  (SATAT)  initiative  envisages  setting  up  of  5000  BioCNG  plants  by 2023-24 with production target of 15 MMT of BioCNG from urban, industrial and agricultural waste including municipal solid waste.

SATAT initiative encourages entrepreneurs to set up BioCNG plants, produce & supply BioCNG to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for sale as automotive fuels. As on 31 st Oct, 2022, total 3694 LoIs have been issued by OMCs for BioCNG capacity addition of 23868 Tons per day.
