The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced to have started the tender process for its 3,000 tpd Deonar WtE plant. As said, the project should be realised under a DBC (Design, Build and Commissioning) scheme with a contract period of 20 years. According to The Indian Express, construction of the 25 MW plant is projected to take around 3 years. BMC expects many foreign companies to participate in the bidding process. Originally, tender documents were planned to be published in August, following pre-invitation meetings held in June. However, the lack of standardised WtE project bidding documents in India caused delays.
