In the present paper economic as well as technological aspects of the biomethanation plant has been studied. Nisargruna technology converts almost any type of organic solid waste to bio methane as compared to the conventional cowdung/ animal faeces based biogas plants. The reduction in the size of the plant has attracted many institutions to erect it in a rather confined space with less setup time and reduced waste processing period along with enhanced output, this has greatly reduced the gestation period. A Nisargruna based plant has been installed at Delhi Technological University which handles 500 kg of organic solid waste per day aimed to supply the biogas to the university's canteen. About 60-65% biogas along with high quality manure which is completely organic in nature can be obtained from the plant. It can be inferred from the economical aspects that the plant has a gestation period between 2-3 years.
