The funding package includes ₹125 crore in equity investment led by PixelSky Capital, with participation from Spectrum Impact Family Office and other investors. Additionally, GPS Renewables has secured a ₹200 crore equity commitment under its project development platform, GPSR Arya, from a leading Korean conglomerate. This follows an earlier ₹310 crore investment in the company’s asset platform business from Sojitz Corporation in partnership with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC).

According to the company, the newly raised capital will be utilized to strengthen its balance sheet, accelerate the execution of large-scale compressed biogas (CBG) projects across India, and support ongoing and future developments under GPSR Arya.

Commenting on the development, Mainak Chakraborty, Co-founder and CEO of GPS Renewables, said the fundraising reflects growing confidence in the renewable natural gas sector and aligns with the company’s strategy to scale bioenergy infrastructure nationwide. He noted that the capital infusion would enhance execution capabilities and support the company’s expanding portfolio as India advances its transition toward cleaner fuels.
