TruAlt Bioenergy has announced a strategic investment of Rs 130 million by GAIL (India) Limited in its subsidiary, Leafiniti Bioenergy Pvt Ltd, strengthening their partnership in India’s compressed biogas (CBG) sector.

The investment follows a share subscription agreement under which GAIL will acquire a 49% stake in Leafiniti, while TruAlt will retain 51%, creating a balanced joint venture focused on expanding clean energy projects.

The partnership aims to develop multiple greenfield CBG plants across Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Odisha. In the first phase, six plants with a capacity of 12 tonnes per day each will be set up, with a combined annual output of nearly 23,976 tonnes of CBG.

Beyond energy production, the project is expected to generate significant rural employment and produce large volumes of organic manure, supporting sustainable agriculture. Environmentally, it is projected to reduce fossil fuel usage and cut methane emissions, contributing to India’s long-term climate goals.

The collaboration leverages TruAlt’s expertise in bioenergy and GAIL’s extensive gas infrastructure and market reach, aligning with India’s push towards energy security and a cleaner fuel ecosystem.
