What size are biomass briquettes in India?

The standard biomass briquette size in India is 90mm diameter. Some manufacturers produce 60mm. Screw press briquettes have a hollow centre (better combustion). Piston press briquettes are solid. Check your boiler's feed opening size before ordering.

Which is better — biomass pellets or briquettes for my boiler?

If your boiler is automated with a pellet feeder, choose pellets (6–25mm). If your boiler is manual or semi-automatic, briquettes (90mm) are more practical and more cost-effective. Brick kilns almost always use briquettes. Thermal power plants co-firing use pellets.

Do biomass briquettes attract GST in India?

Yes. Biomass briquettes attract 5% GST in India. Always confirm with your seller whether the quoted rate is inclusive or exclusive of GST before finalising the purchase order.
