Chandigarh — A new controversy has emerged in the energy sector as Punjab’s government directed thermal power plants to halt procurement of biomass pellets from Haryana, citing the need to support local manufacturers and reduce stubble burning.
The decision, aimed at promoting intra-state pellet production, has sparked concern among Haryana-based suppliers who fear a sharp decline in demand. Biomass pellets are a key component in cleaner energy generation, and Haryana has been a leading producer in the region.
Environmental experts warn that the move could disrupt supply chains and affect cross-border collaboration on sustainable energy. Meanwhile, Haryana’s industry stakeholders are urging for a policy dialogue to ensure fair trade and ecological balance.
