Suzuki to build new biogas plants in India, inks MoUs with Amul Dairy and Dudhsagar
Suzuki Motor Corporation, through its Suzuki R&D Center India, is partnering with India’s National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and local dairy unions to establish biogas plants in Gujarat, starting with Amul Dairy and Dudhsagar Dairy. The initiative aims to produce automotive biogas fuel from cow dung, supporting India’s carbon-neutral goals. This collaboration follows Suzuki’s previous biogas project with Banas Dairy and reflects the company’s commitment to expanding sustainable energy solutions across India.
Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) through Suzuki R&D Center India, a wholly owned subsidiary of SMC, is working with the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to establish biogas production plants in cooperation with the dairy industry unions in India. SMC has signed MoUs with two dairy industry unions – Amul Dairy (Anand, Gujarat) and Dudhsagar Dairy (Mehsana, Gujarat) – to set up new biogas production plants in the state.
Amul Dairy president Amit Vyas, Dudhsagar Dairy executive director Pravin Bhambi, NDDB director S Rajeev, and Suzuki Motor Corp’s managing officer Kenichiro Toyofuku attended NDDB’s 60-year anniversary ceremony held on October 22. Amit Shah, Minister of Home Affairs, and Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, were also present on the occasion.
Suzuki, together with NDDB and Banas Dairy, a dairy industry union in Banaskanta, Gujarat, is working to establish five biogas production plants to manufacture and sell automotive fuel made from cow dung. The new agreement with Amul Dairy in Anand and Dudhsagar Dairy in Mehsana will expand the biogas business in Gujarat.
Mr. Toyofuku, who attended the ceremony, said: “We are very pleased to work with new partners to promote the biogas business. Suzuki will continue to expand its biogas business in Gujarat and other parts of India to help realize a carbon-neutral society, using the right methods in the right place.”
