Mumbai headquartered clean energy major Organic Recycling Systems Limited (ORSL) has officially formalized its empanelment as the ‘Execution Partner’ with Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) and the two will jointly develop Compressed Biogas (CBG) projects across India.

The formalization was marked by the exchange of the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the India Energy Week (IEW) 2026, held in Goa on January 28, 2026. The MoU exchange and empanelment ceremony took place in the presence of senior officials from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) and leadership of Indraprastha Gas Limited.

The ceremony was attended by Praveen Mal Khanooja, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), Kamal Kishore Chatiwal, Managing Director, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), Mohit Bhatia, Director – Commercial, IGL, and other senior executives, delegates and representatives from national oil companies and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

Strategic Significance & Next Phase of Collaboration

The formal empanelment and MoU exchange provide ORSL with a strong institutional framework to actively originate, structure and execute CBG projects in collaboration with IGL. This strategic partnership is expected to significantly strengthen ORSL’s national project pipeline and accelerate project development across multiple feedstocks and geographies.

ORSL is currently engaging with project sponsors and stakeholders to advance a portfolio of near- term opportunities. Project prioritization is being undertaken based on key commercial and execution parameters, including feedstock security, land and infrastructure readiness, and overall project viability, with the objective of fast-tracking projects from development to implementation.

Commenting on the development, Sarang Bhand, Managing Director, Organic Recycling Systems Limited, said, “We are honoured to partner with Indraprastha Gas Limited through this empanelment and MoU exchange at India Energy Week 2026. This strategic alliance provides a powerful platform to accelerate our national project pipeline. By collaborating with a premier PSU like IGL, ORSL is creating a clear pathway for sustained revenue growth and long-term expansion in the Bio-CNG sector.”

Pankaj Tanwar, CEO – Bioenergy, ORSL, added, “The formalization of our partnership with IGL marks a major milestone in ORSL’s execution strategy. It enables us to advance a strong pipeline of projects across diverse feedstocks such as Napier grass, paddy straw and organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver large-scale projects efficiently and reinforces ORSL’s position as a trusted technology and EPC partner in India’s bioenergy ecosystem.”
