The J&K General Administration Department has issued Government Order 1701-JK(GAD) of 2026, dated 30 October 2026, to set up three administrative bodies for the Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) Energy Policy 2026. These include a UT-Level Empowered Committee for strategic oversight, District-Level Committees for local biomass and land assessment, and a CBG Cell to act as a lead agency (nodal mechanism) for project developers. The order does not state when it takes effect, but it mandates quarterly meetings for the UT committee and annual biomass updates at the district level.
Key points
