India's Bioenergy Sector: Market-Driven Growth

Q1. Could you start by giving us a brief overview of your professional background, particularly focusing on your expertise in the industry?

I have over four years of experience in the bioenergy and renewable fuels sector, currently working with GPS Renewables. My role sits at the intersection of project execution, commercial management, and strategic coordination for compressed biogas (CBG) projects.

I’ve been closely involved in EPC execution, vendor management, cost control, and coordinating with stakeholders like oil marketing companies and JV partners. Over time, I’ve also worked on financial tracking, resolving operational bottlenecks, and aligning project delivery with commercial outcomes—so my exposure is both on-ground and strategic.

Q2. What’s the biggest demand-side shift you’re seeing today in bioenergy and waste-to-fuel projects compared to even 2–3 years ago?

The biggest shift I see is that demand is no longer purely policy-driven—it’s becoming commercially driven.

A few years ago, most interest came from regulatory push or sustainability commitments. Today, industries are actively evaluating bioenergy as a cost hedge against fossil fuel volatility and to secure long-term energy supply. ESG is also becoming more outcome-focused, so companies are moving from intent to actual procurement.
