Suzuki Motor Corporation has signed an MoU with Suzuki R&D Centre India, the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), and Banas Dairy to open a fifth biogas plant in the Banaskantha district of Gujarat.
It will also promote a rural mobility service utilising biogas, which would contribute toward realising carbon neutrality in India.
The MoU conclusion ceremony was held at the Banas Dairy Sanadar Plant in Banaskantha district, Gujarat, in the presence of Banas Dairy’s chairman Shankar Chaudhary, NDDB’s executive director S Rajeev, and Suzuki’s president Toshihiro Suzuki.
Approximately 2,500 dairy farmers from the nearby farms attended the ceremony.
The three parties are working toward setting up four biogas production plants in Gujarat. The basic agreement was concluded to setup the fifth biogas production plant.
The rural mobility service aims to provide opportunities for clean and affordable transportation to citizens in rural areas by utilising biogas fuel for Maruti Suzuki’s CNG vehicles. The service will initially start within the Banaskantha district.
President Suzuki said: “By cooperating with Banas Dairy and NDDB, we will start two new businesses: biogas production plant and rural mobility service. Each member of the three parties will give out ideas to create a new model of lifestyle and contribute to the development of Banaskantha district.”
