This year’s Renewable Energy India Expo (REI) will place India’s biogas sector as the talking point for pushing India’s green growth, as biogas is no longer seen as just a rural solution.
The Indian Biogas Association (IBA) said over the weekend in a statement that the sector is likely to attract more than ₹1,800 crore in fresh investment commitments as the spotlight this year is firmly on biogas being a game-changer for India’s green growth.
The upcoming three-day Renewable Energy India Expo (REI) 2025, is scheduled from October 30 to November 1, 2025, at the India Expo Centre, Greater Noida.
Additionally, this year’s Bio-Energy Pavilion, powered by IBA and supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), is set to be the largest ever, featuring 30 per cent more exhibitors than 2024 and strong participation from global technology leaders, startups, and policy-makers.

It will showcase innovations in waste-to-energy, CBG technologies, and co-digestion models, including digital monitoring solutions.
IBA President, AR Shukla, said biogas is now a “cornerstone of the clean energy economy” and no longer limited to being seen as just a rural solution.
“Biogas is helping reduce carbon emissions, supporting farmers, fuelling transport, and enabling the green economy. REI 2025 will demonstrate how the sector is scaling from pilot projects to nationwide impact,” he said.
With the government scaling up the SATAT scheme (Sustainable Alternative towards Affordable Transportation), commissioning of new compressed biogas (CBG) plants across states, and biogas being recognised as a feedstock for future fuel, including methanol and Di-methyl ether production, the sector is witnessing unprecedented momentum, said IBA in its statement.
It also emphasised that biogas is set to play a dual role: one is in reducing fossil fuel imports through large-scale CBG adoption, and the second is feeding into India’s ‘Net Zero Mission’, making bioenergy production cleaner and more affordable.
Biogas is now more than clean energy, playing an important role in leading India’s zero-carbon emissions mission.
Highlighting its economic impact, IBA Chairman, Gaurav Kedia said, “Biogas is playing a key role in development-led energy transition.
With India’s potential to generate over 62 million tons of CBG annually, we can cut down fuel imports, create thousands of rural and urban jobs, and build a truly circular economy”.
“REI 2025 is the platform where these opportunities will take shape, with investors, innovators, and policymakers coming together to drive the next phase of growth. Bioenergy is at the heart of India’s energy transformation,” he added.
The three-day REI Expo 2025 is expected to attract over 60,000 participants from across the globe, covering sectors like bioenergy, solar, wind, hydrogen, e-mobility, and energy storage.
Over the years, the expo has become an influential platform for renewable energy in India. For IBA, REI 2025 marks a milestone to showcase India’s bioenergy leap from local initiatives to global collaborations by putting biogas firmly on the energy map as a solution for climate, energy, and economy.
Last year, REI saw investment commitment from the industry for ₹1,850 crore and signed several MoUs.
