IOCL biogas plant in Tirumala will be operational by May, says TTD Chairman

The Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is setting up a biogas plant in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh, which is expected to be operational by May 2023. The plant will have a capacity of 40 tonnes of biogas per day and is projected to help the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) save around ₹1.52 crore annually. This development is significant as it showcases the government's efforts to promote renewable energy and reduce dependence on traditional fuels, which is an important aspect of current affairs for competitive exams.
