Purabi Dairy, Suzuki partnership on Assam compressed biogas plant resurfaces
Resurfacing a July 2026 move, Purabi Dairy, NDDB and Suzuki R&D Centre India will develop a compressed biogas plant in Assam using dairy and agricultural waste. NEDFL will operate the facility and market its fuel and organic fertiliser output, while Suzuki will invest and receive carbon-credit benefits.
What happened
Purabi Dairy partnered with NDDB and Suzuki R&D Centre India to establish a compressed biogas plant in Assam, converting dairy and agricultural waste into fuel
Key facts
- Suzuki is associated with nine biogas plant projects across India
- Two Suzuki-linked biogas plants are operational in Banaskantha, Gujarat
Why this matters
The partnership shows how dairy players can combine strategic capital, public-sector expertise and local operating partners to build circular-economy assets.
What to watch
- Announcement of plant location, tonnes-per-day feedstock capacity, commissioning date and Suzuki investment amount.
- Named CBG buyer, contracted offtake volumes and pricing mechanism.
- Evidence that Purabi's supplier network is providing recurring dung, whey, crop residue or other feedstock at economic collection costs.
- Carbon-credit methodology approval, credit issuance or disclosed revenue-sharing terms.
- NEDFL fertiliser distribution footprint, product certification and farmer adoption rates.
- Expansion announcements involving additional Purabi facilities, NDDB cooperatives or other northeastern states.
- Finalize plant capacity, capital structure, construction timeline and feedstock-supply agreements with dairy farmers and agricultural-waste aggregators.
- Secure CBG offtake arrangements with transport fleets, industrial users, gas distributors or Suzuki-linked mobility channels before commissioning.
- Build certification, measurement and ownership protocols for carbon credits, methane-abatement claims and organic-fertiliser quality.
- Use fertiliser distribution to deepen relationships with milk suppliers, potentially linking manure collection, feed support and milk-procurement incentives.
- Assess replication potential across NDDB-associated dairy cooperatives if Assam unit achieves reliable utilization and attractive unit economics.
