Abstract The burgeoning demand for energy and the necessity of sustainable development have rendered biogas technology an auspicious solution for the energy system of India. This treatise endeavors to investigate the potential of biogas technology in India's energy systems via scrutinizing the existing energy milieu, the benefits and obstacles of biogas technology, and the edicts and statutes regarding its assimilation. The energy domain of India is predominantly swayed by non-renewable fossil fuels, which are not only limited but also contribute considerably to the emission of greenhouse gases. Biogas technology, conversely, employs organic refuse as a feedstock to yield renewable power, thereby mitigating the carbon footprint. The potential of biogas technology to contend with the predicaments of energy security, agrarian expansion, and environmental sustainability in India is substantial. Nevertheless, the acceptance of biogas technology is confronted with several predicaments, such as inadequate infrastructure, meagre funding, inadequate awareness, and deficiencies in policy. In order to surmount these hindrances, the government has commenced diverse policies and programs, such as the National Biogas and Manure Management Program and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
