The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has successfully launched the Biourja Application Portal. Under the guidance of the Ministry, the 'EU-India Technical Cooperation Project: Energy' developed the portal to provide service to all bio-energy project proponents to smoothly proceed through the administrative procedure. The digital platform will manage projects related to waste-to-energy, biomass gasifier and biomass cogeneration. This agile platform was born out of the necessity to organize the processing mechanism of the applications received for installation of systems. The modular design of the portal provides a robust application management system with its end-to-end solution from submission to installation and is well-equipped to adapt to the changing policies and regulations.

Some of the key features of the portal are as follows:

• Intuitive design: The portal is easy to understand and use. The How-to guide and Learn More section guides the customers and installers through the entire process
• Quick & easy registration: Registrations are as easy as opening an email account
• Centralized documents / aggregating information: It is the central repository where all the documents are stored chronologically
• Constant tracking & monitoring: Efficient application tracking and monitoring at every stage
• Fosters communication: The portal notifies the users (MNRE and Developers) at every stage of the process via SMS and email
• Accessibility across all digital devices: The portal is accessible from all of the latest devices
• Advanced data security: The portal confirms to the security standards of the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Government of India
