National Bio Energy Programme

Scheme 1: BIOGAS PROGRAMME

Setting up of biogas plants for clean cooking fuel, lighting, meeting thermal and small power needs of users which results in GHG reduction, improved sanitation, women empowerment and creation of rural employment. ii. Organic enriched Bio-manure: The digested slurry from biogas plants, a rich source of manure, shall benefit farmers in supplementing / reducing of use of chemical fertilizers

The details of Central Financial Assistance (CFA) for different components under this programme is as follows:

  • For small biogas plants (1-25 cubic meter/day plant capacity): Rs. 9800/- to Rs. 70,400/- per plant based on size of the plant in cubic meter
  • For Power generation and thermal application (25 – 2500 cubic meter/day plant capacity): Rs. 35,000/- to Rs. 45,000/- per kilowatt for power generation and Rs. 17,500 /- to Rs. 22,500/- per kilowatt equivalent for thermal applications (25 – 2500 cubic meter/day plant capacity) (The eligible CFA would be 20% higher than Standard CFA in for NER, Island, Registered Gaushalas and SC/ST beneficiaries)

Scheme 2: To Support Manufacturing Of Briquettes & Pallet & Promotion Of Biomass

The broad objective of CGSS is to provide guarantee upto a specified limit against credit instruments extended by Member Institutions (MIs) to finance eligible Startups. This scheme would help provide the much needed collateral free debt funding to Startups.

Eligible borrower

The eligibility criteria for an entity to borrow under the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups shall be as follows, wherein an entity should be: i. Startup as recognized by DPIIT as per Gazette Notifications issued from time to time, and ii. Startups that have reached stage of stable revenue stream, as assessed from audited monthly statements over a 12 month period, amenable to debt financing, and iii. Startup not in default to any lending/investing institution and not classified as Non-Performing Asset as per RBI guidelines, and iv. Startup whose eligibility is certified by the member institution for the purpose of guarantee cover.

Waste To Energy Program

Scheme 3: Programme On Energy From Urban , Industrial, Agricultural Waste/ Residues

The objective of the programme is to support the setting up of Waste to Energy projects for generation of Biogas/ BioCNG/ Power/ producer or syngas from urban, industrial and agricultural wastes/residues.

  • The programme provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to project developers and service charges to implementing/inspection agencies in respect of successful commissioning of Waste to Energy plants for generation of Biogas, Bio-CNG/enriched Biogas/Compressed Biogas, Power/ generation of producer or syngas.
  • Financial assistance available under the Programme for setting up Waste to Energy plant is as follows:
  • BioCNG/Enriched Biogas/ Compressed Bio Gas-
    • Rs 4.0 Cr per 4800 kg/day (for BioCNG generation from new biogas plant)
    • Rs 3.0 Cr per 4800 kg/day (for BioCNG generation from existing Biogas plant*)
  • (Maximum CFA of Rs. 10.0 Cr/project for both cases.)
  • Power (based on Biogas):
    1. Rs 0.75 Cr/MW (for power generation from new biogas plant)
    2. Rs 0.5 Cr /MW (for power generation from existing Biogas plant)
    3. (Maximum Central Financial Assistance (CFA) of Rs. 5.0 Cr/project for both cases)
    4. Power based on bio & agro-industrial waste (other than MSW through incineration process): Rs 0.4 Cr/MW (maximum CFA of Rs. 5.0 Cr/project)
    5. Biomass Gasifier for electricity/thermal applications:
      • Rs. 2,500 per kWe with dual fuel engines for electrical application
      • Rs. 15,000 per kWe with 100% gas engines for electrical application
      • Rs. 2 lakh per 300 kWth for thermal applications.
    6. The eligible Central Financial Assistance (CFA) would be 20% higher for plants set up in Special Category States/UTs (NE Region, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh , Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands), and Biomethanation plants set up in registered Gaushala/Shelter.
    7. Service charge @1% of total Central Financial Assistance (CFA) (minimum of Rs 50,000/-) would be provided for both Implementing Agency and Inspection Agency.
    8. Application to be accepted through online portal only.
    9. Projects with loan from Bank/FI, and Self-financed projects are considered.
    10. Recommendation of Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) will be mandatory only for self-financed projects.
    11. SCADA System/remote monitoring system has been mandated for WTE projects except in the case of Biomass Gasifiers.
    12. The amount of Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to be disbursed for the WTE projects will be calculated based on the performance the projects.
    13. Provision of providing advance Central Financial Assistance (CFA) for bank financed BioCNG projects under SATAT Initiative has been included.
    14. IREDA has been designated as the Implementing Agency.

Scheme 4: Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Program

To achieve a cumulative installed capacity of 40,000 MW from Grid Connected Rooftop Solar (RTS) projects

Central Financial Assistance (CFA)/Subsidy is provided to the residential electricity consumers under Component-A and incentives are provided to DISCOMs under Component-B of this programme.

To avail CFA a residential consumer has to apply for installation of Grid Connected Roof Top Solar (GCRTS) through any of following two mechanisms:

  • Mechanism 1: Applicable through National Portal for Roof top Solar
  • Applicable CFA will be transferred directly to the consumers account after successful installation (by empanelled vendors) and verification by State DISCOMs
  • Mechanism 2: Applicable through State DISCOMs portal
  • The consumer has to pay only the balance amount after deducting the subsidy/CFA to the bank account of an empanelled vendor after successful installation and verification by the State DISCOMs

Component A: CFA to Residential sector – 4 GW

Component B: Incentives to DISCOMs – for initial 18 GW Capacity

Scheme 5: Development Of Solar Parks & Ultra Mega Solar Power

Solar power projects can be set up anywhere in the country, however the solar power projects developed in scattered manner leads to higher project cost per MW and higher transmission losses. Individual projects of smaller capacity incur significant expenses in site development, drawing separate transmission lines to nearest substation, procuring water and in creation of other necessary infrastructure. It also takes longer time for project developers to acquire land, get all types of clearances and permissions etc. which ultimately delays the project
Under the scheme, the Ministry provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) of up to Rs. 25 lakh per solar park for preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR). Beside this, CFA of up to Rs. 20.00 lakh per MW or 30% of the project cost, including Grid-connectivity cost, whichever is lower, is also provided on achieving the milestones prescribed in the scheme.
