The clean-energy transition in India is frequently viewed through the prism of power production, electric transportation or hydrogen greenness. Less noisy and with much less press coverage, yet another industrial opportunity is emerging, though, biogas upgrading and Bio-CNG purification, which is fueled by one essential enabler, gas separation membranes.<\/p>\n
For entrepreneurs and MSME investors who understand industrial value chains, membrane manufacturing is emerging as a rare combination of technology depth, recurring demand, and import substitution logic.<\/p>\n
Both based on the Annual Report 2024-25 published by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, it is evident that there has been a structural trend in that biogas and compressed biogas plants are growing more rapidly than high-performance purification systems domestically. The core of this imbalance is that of membrane technology, which is currently imported in large amounts, is technically specialised, and is vital to the performance of the plant.<\/p>\n
