-Biogas technology is particularly evident in the south of Maharashtra due to the high level of agricultural development. In no other Indian state are there so many biogas plants as here. In 1992 they numbered around 345,000. A significant contribution to this development was made by the ''Khadi and Village Industries Commission'' (KVIC) whose headquarters are in Bombay. Considerable development work was also carried out by J.J. Patel with the famous Indian floating-drum plant ("Gram Laxmi", better known under the "KVIC Design").

 ''Shivsadan Griha Nirman Sahakari Society Ltd'', called ''Shivsadan'' (Maharati: "house of Shiva") for short, is a commercially run factory for the production of pre-fabricated concrete compound units. The company which was established in 1969 has been building biogas plants since 1976. The initiative for the programme came from the Sangli sugar mill to which Shivsadan has good contacts. At a joint conference of KVIC and representatives of the sugar industry in Bombay in 1975, the sugar industry was called upon to propagate and disseminate biogas plants in its operation areas. Shivsadan states the maximum building capacity to be 4,000 plants per year.

 The original target group consisted of cooperative farmers in the sugar industry. 350 plants were built for these in the mid-seventies during a three-year demonstration phase. Since then, the extensive demand for biogas plants has made biogas dissemination the most important branch of production for ''Shivsadan''. In many villages where a large proportion of cooperative farmers live, biogas plants are almost exclusively ''Shivsadan'' plants. According to the company, 15% of all plants in the districts attended to are being built within their dissemination programme. A larger proportion, an estimated 85% of all biogas plants, are masoned '''Deenbandhu plants'''.

 ''Shivsadan'' offers two types of biogas plant. Besides the classic '''floating-drum plant''' with a gasholder made of steel sheeting, a newly developed '''fixed-dome plant''', called the "'''Krishna Model'''", is offered in sizes of 6, 9, 12 and 18 m<sup>3</sup> digester volume. It is marked by a low price and is free from corrosion as all the components are made of concrete.

 The type of household plants in demand, also with ''Shivsadan'', shows a strong tendency towards smaller fixed-dome models. Although a completely different type of plant is disseminated here, Maharashtra also shows that fixed-dome plants (reliable performance) correspond most to the requirements of the target group of smallholders and medium-scale farmers.

 If the price for a Krishna biogas plant with a digester volume of 6 m<sup>3</sup> is compared to the cost of a masoned Deenbandhu fixed-dome plant of the same size, as disseminated in Orissa by ''Gram Vikas'', it can be seen that the total costs of the Krishna plants exceed those of the masoned fixed-dome plant by about Rs 1,000 (approx. DM 66). The difference in pure material costs is negligible; the labour costs for the pre-fabricated plant are lower by about half. In each case the costs for the transport of the pre-fabricated plant which increase with the distance between the factory and building site, must be added (for the comparison shown a minimum distance from the factory was assumed).
