North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NMC) has decided to set up a ‘Waste to Energy’ plant at Rani Khera at the cost of Rs 1000 Crore.
Mayor of North Delhi Jai Prakash said that the plant will help be established in collaboration with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd to dispose of complete garbage collected in the North DMC area.
Mayor said that the corporation has installed 15 trommel machines to dispose of legacy waste that has increased the height of sanitary landfill sites. “By now, we are able to reduce 30 feet of the height of the garbage at the landfill site. Four more trommel machines are under process of installation that would further increase the speed of removing legacy waste and thus reducing the height of garbage at Bhalswa more speedily,’ he said.
The North Corporation generates 4,000 metric tonnes of garbage every day, of which 2,000 metric tonnes goes to Bhalswa landfill and the rest to the plant at Narela-Bawana.
