What is the CBG Blending Obligation, and what is its trajectory?
mandate ≠ capacity
The CBO, approved by the National Biofuels Coordination Committee, requires CGD entities to blend CBG into CNG for transport and PNG for domestic use: 1% in FY2025-26, 3% in FY2026-27, 4% in FY2027-28 and 5% from FY2028-29. It creates demand; it is not itself installed capacity.
