Gurgaon: Maruti Suzuki is set to establish a biogas plant at its Kharkhoda facility, while expanding the existing biogas plant in Manesar. It will invest Rs 150 crore for the two projects.Managing director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Hisashi Takeuchi, said on Friday, “Maruti Suzuki has been consistently working on initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption. In line with this, we are setting up a new 10 tonnes-per-day biogas plant at the Kharkhoda facility as well as expanding the existing biogas plant at Manesar facility.”The initiative comes against the backdrop of energy supply constraint in the wake of the West Asia conflicts. “As the Prime Minister has called for reducing dependence on fossil fuels, the commissioning of our biogas project comes at an appropriate time. It enables us to contribute, in a modest but meaningful way, to the current national priority alongside several other ongoing efforts,” said Takeuchi.
