A statement released by GAIL said, "India has vast biomass resources and the government is giving special emphasis on its utilization by encouraging setting up of CBG plants. Further, oil and gas companies are ready to give commitment for offtake of CBG through the issue of letter of intent. Thus, it provides a good business opportunity to startups operating in this area."

CBG-based startups working in providing technology, planning to expand their existing CBG plants, or planning to set-up new CBG plants can apply in this round.

GAIL had launched its ambitious start-up initiative "Pankh' in July 2017 to invest in promising startups. So far, GAIL has made investments in 24 startups operating in various areas through four solicitation rounds.
