Suzuki and Banas Dairy ink MoU for biogas plant in Gujarat

Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki) has concluded a three-party MoU for the basic agreement between Suzuki R&D Centre India, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzuki in India, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), and Banas Dairy to set up fifth biogas production plant in Gujarat. This also extends to promoting rural mobility service utilising biogas. The ceremony was held on July 26, 2024, at the Banas Dairy Sanadar plant in Banaskantha, and approximately 2,500 dairy farmers from the nearby farms also attended.

The three parties are working towards setting up four biogas production plants at Tharad in Banaskantha district. The project involves making fuel for automobiles by refining methane from biogas.

The rural mobility service aims to provide opportunities for clean and affordable transportation in rural areas by utilising biogas fuel for Maruti Suzuki’s CNG vehicles. The service will initially start within the district.
