Kharkhoda / Manesar / New Delhi, 05 June 2026: On the occasion of World Environment Day, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (“Maruti Suzuki”) announced two biogas projects, reinforcing its commitment to building a clean energy ecosystem.

The Company will set up a 10 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) biogas plant at its Kharkhoda facility, which will be commissioned within FY 2026-27. As the second initiative, Maruti Suzuki has expanded the capacity of the biogas plant at its Manesar facility, from 0.2 TPD to 0.7 TPD.

Maruti Suzuki will be investing INR 150 crore for these two projects, underscoring its long-term vision to integrate renewable energy solutions into its operations. The Company’s biogas initiatives are aligned with the Government’s broader ‘Waste-to-Wealth’ mission.

New Biogas Plant at Kharkhoda 

The 10 TPD biogas plant in Kharkhoda facility is expected to be commissioned within the current financial year. At full capacity, it will help in mitigating 9,490 tonnes* of CO₂ and will serve approximately 20% of the total gas requirement at the facility.

Expansion of Manesar Biogas Plant

Early this month, the Company expanded its Manesar biogas plant to reach 0.7 TPD output from earlier 0.2 TPD. The plant is expected to generate approximately 3.6 lakh standard cubic meters of biogas annually, leading to an estimated avoidance of 664 tonnes* of CO₂ emissions per year.

The biogas set-up in Manesar facility utilizes food waste, Napier grass and paddy straw as feedstock, with a provision to boost output with cattle dung. It leverages anaerobic digestion technology to convert agricultural waste into raw biogas. The plant’s biogas can be utilized in paint shop heating processes as well as in canteen operations. Fermented Organic Manure (FOM), a by-product of the process, will further be used for internal horticulture or will be supplied back to the agricultural ecosystem.

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “Maruti Suzuki has been consistently working on initiatives aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption and oil import dependence. In line with this, we are setting up a new 10 Tonnes Per Day biogas plant at the Kharkhoda facility as well as expanding the existing biogas plant at Manesar facility. At a time when the world is navigating an increasingly uncertain energy landscape, such initiatives assume greater significance. As the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has called for reducing dependence on fossil fuels, the commissioning of our biogas project comes at an appropriate time. It enables us to contribute, in a modest but meaningful way, to the current national priority alongside several other ongoing efforts.”

The Company has undertaken a host of measures across its business operations, including expansion of biogas and solar power capacities, in a bid to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Maruti Suzuki plans to invest INR 925 crore towards green energy initiatives by FY 2030-31.

INDIA, February 05, 2026 – Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today introduced its Hybrid Heating Solution, a flexible, automated way for industrial manufacturers to potentially lower operating costs and carbon emissions by integrating both traditional natural gas and electric energy sources for industrial process heating.

By automating heating controls, manufacturers can switch energy sources in real time from natural gas to electricity for industrial heating, optimizing energy costs and reducing reliance on a single fuel source. Honeywell’s Hybrid Heating Solution is designed for seamless integration with manufacturers’ existing infrastructure and can deliver up to 30% electric heating capacity at any given time. It can also provide predictive diagnostics and remote monitoring, making operations more visible and precise for manufacturers across industries including automotive, building materials, and food and beverage.

“Hybrid solutions offer a practical way for energy-intensive industrial manufacturers to not only alleviate strain off the grid, but also to help advance the energy transition at a global scale,” said John Villali, Senior Research Director at IDC Energy Insights. “As companies work to curb emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, their supply chains can play a critical role to help meet decarbonization goals by leveraging electrical power, including renewable sources.”

“Today’s manufacturing landscape is increasingly challenged by rising energy costs and the need to cut back on fossil fuel usage while increasing productivity” said Tim Lee, President of Honeywell Thermal Solutions. “By merging traditional and electrical energy, including renewables, Honeywell is addressing industry challenges by offering a flexible and realistic path to emissions reduction for companies that require energy-intensive heat in their manufacturing processes.”

In facilities where manufacturers have onsite wind, solar or battery energy storage to produce electricity, operators may be able to leverage those renewables to lower the carbon emissions of their heating operations, to the extent permitted by law.

Honeywell’s Hybrid Heating Solution is commercially available now and is in production across various manufacturing verticals following successful pilots.
