Organic Recycling Systems Limited (ORSL) has recently formalised its empanelment as an execution partner with Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) for the joint development of Compressed Biogas (CBG) projects across India. The empanelment was marked by the exchange of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during India Energy Week 2026 in Goa.

The empanelment provides ORSL with a structured institutional framework to originate, structure and execute CBG projects in collaboration with IGL. The partnership is expected to strengthen ORSL’s national project pipeline and accelerate project development across multiple feedstocks and geographies.

ORSL is currently engaging with project sponsors to advance a portfolio of near-term opportunities, with project prioritisation based on feedstock security, land and infrastructure readiness, and overall commercial viability to fast-track execution.

Commenting on the development, Sarang Bhand, Managing Director, Organic Recycling Systems Limited, said the collaboration creates a clear pathway for sustained growth and long-term expansion in the Bio-CNG sector. Pankaj Tanwar, CEO – Bioenergy, ORSL, added that the partnership strengthens the company’s ability to deliver large-scale CBG projects across feedstocks such as Napier grass, paddy straw and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste, reinforcing ORSL’s position as a technology and EPC partner in India’s bioenergy ecosystem.
