The Adani Group is steadily expanding beyond its core businesses of ports, airports, and energy by building a strong presence in India’s rapidly growing organic fertilizer market. Through its ‘Harit Amrit’ brand, the conglomerate has expanded sales across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, leveraging its compressed biogas (CBG) operations to create a sustainable circular economy. The move reflects Adani’s strategy to convert agricultural waste into value-added products while supporting sustainable farming practices.
Organic Fertilizer Sales More Than Double
The fertilizer business witnessed significant growth over the past year. Adani TotalEnergies Biomass Ltd (ATBL) introduced the Harit Amrit brand during FY25, selling more than 2,000 tonnes of organic fertilizer. Building on this momentum, the company expanded its market presence across three states in FY26, with fertilizer sales rising to over 4,575 tonnes, more than doubling year-on-year. At the same time, ATBL’s compressed biogas (CBG) business also recorded strong growth. CBG sales increased from 730 tonnes in FY25 to 1,654 tonnes in FY26, reflecting the rapid scale-up of the company’s biomass operations.
Integrated Waste-to-Energy Model Drives Growth
The business operates under Adani TotalEnergies Biomass Ltd (ATBL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Total Gas Ltd, and is based on an integrated waste-to-energy model. The company collects agricultural residues, cattle dung and, in the future, municipal solid waste, and processes them through anaerobic digestion technology. This process generates compressed biogas as a clean transportation fuel, while the residual digestate is converted into branded organic fertilizer marketed under the Harit Amrit label. By utilising agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned or discarded, the model supports renewable energy generation, waste management, and sustainable agriculture simultaneously.
Barsana Project to Become India’s Largest Agri Waste-Based CBG Facility
The centrepiece of Adani’s biomass strategy is its Barsana project in Uttar Pradesh, which is being developed as India’s largest agricultural waste-based compressed biogas plant. The project is designed to address several critical challenges at once, including reducing stubble burning, producing renewable transport fuel, manufacturing organic fertilizer, and creating economic value from agricultural residues. The first phase of the facility is already operational and currently processes around 115 tonnes of agricultural waste and cattle dung per day. Once fully commissioned, the over ₹200 crore project will process 600 tons of feedstock daily.
Expansion into Municipal Waste-to-CBG Projects
Beyond agricultural waste, Adani is extending its waste-to-energy platform into urban waste management. ATBL has secured municipal solid waste-to-CBG projects in Ahmedabad and Rajkot, with a combined processing capacity of 750 tonnes per day. These projects will further strengthen the company’s integrated circular economy model by converting municipal waste into renewable fuel and organic fertilizer while reducing landfill dependence.
Building Renewable Fuel Distribution Infrastructure
In addition to expanding production capacity, Adani is also investing in downstream infrastructure for renewable fuels. During FY26, the company commissioned its first Dealer-Owned Dealer-Operated (DODO) compressed biogas dispensing station, creating a dedicated retail outlet for the CBG produced at its facilities. The initiative marks another important step towards developing a comprehensive clean energy value chain—from waste collection and biogas production to fuel distribution and organic fertilizer sales.
Supporting Circular Economy and Sustainable Agriculture
With growing investments in compressed biogas, organic fertilizers, and waste-to-energy infrastructure, the Adani Group is positioning itself as a key player in India’s emerging bioenergy and sustainable agriculture ecosystem. As reported by thehindubusinessline.com, by integrating renewable fuel production with organic fertilizer manufacturing, the company is creating a circular business model that supports cleaner energy, reduces agricultural waste, promotes soil health, and contributes to India’s broader sustainability and energy transition goals.
