Infistar Renewables partners with Finland’s Arciplug

Ahmedabad, 1st August 2026: Infistar Renewables Pvt Ltd, has entered into an exclusive joint venture with Finland-based Arciplug Oy to introduce make-in-India MODULAR PLUG FLOW compressed biogas plants, marking a significant step towards advancing the country’s renewable energy ambitions through next-generation CBG solutions.

The joint venture, Arcistar Bioenergy Pvt Ltd, will deliver turnkey make-in-India Modular Plug-Flow CBG plants (<3 TPD), capable of converting agriculture residues, municipal solid waste and other organic waste into clean energy. This modular technology, which has already been successfully deployed across Europe & Asia, is now also being introduced in India for the first time through this partnership.

As India accelerates its transition towards cleaner energy while reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, this technology offers a practical and sustainable solution to the country’s major challenges, including energy security, climate change, waste management and water conservation.The modular CBG plants (<3TPD) can be commissioned for rapid biogas production within just 4-5 months, as against 12-18 months typically required for conventional plants. 

Designed as an open, modular system, these plants can process more than 100 different types of feedstocks, including napier grass, municipal solid waste, paddy straw, press mud, cotton residue,fruit and vegetable waste, poultry waste, fish waste, etc. Commenting on this joint venture, Mr. Suhrid V Sarabhai, Chairman & Managing Director, Infistar Group, said, “India’s transition towards a cleaner and more self-reliant energy future requires solutions that are sustainable, commercially viable and affordable to the masses. Through our partnership with Arciplug, we are bringing a globally proven solution to India that addresses multiple national priorities simultaneously, including energy security, climate action, waste management and rural development. 

Mr. Jari Valtanen, Vice President, Arciplug Oy, said, “India is one of the world’s most promising markets for sustainable bioenergy, and we are delighted to partner with Infistar Renewables to introduce our MODULAR PLUG FLOW technology. Having been successfully deployed across several countries and diverse operating conditions, we believe this technology will help industries, municipalities and farmers convert waste into clean energy more efficiently and support India’s sustainability goals.”As part of the initiative, Infistar Renewables is establishing a pilot project in the Gandhinagar district of Gujarat with an investment of approximately Rs. 50 crore.
