Biomass Energy Promotion Scheme
Biomass Energy Promotion Scheme
The Biomass Scheme, administered by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), offers substantial financial incentives for industries establishing biomass briquette/pellet manufacturing plants, biomass-based cogeneration systems, and waste-to-energy units. Designed to encourage sustainable energy practices and reduce fossil fuel dependency, the scheme bridges the gap between environmental responsibility and industrial productivity.
At DharmaSetu Goldschmidt Advisory, we empower businesses to leverage this green revolution by navigating the subsidy landscape, preparing compliant documentation, and securing government approvals with efficiency and precision.
