The tender document for construction of a 250 tonne per day (TPD) solid waste treatment plant (SWTP) at Bainguinim is expected soon, suggest media reports.
In June, the government had decided to keep the tender process on hold in view of Covid-19. The project, estimated to cost Rs 200 crore, will be based on a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) basis. The entire amount will have to be spent by the bidder and they will have to treat the wet waste at the plant. The winning bidder will also have to bale the dry waste and send it outside the state for disposal, till Goa sets up its own waste energy plant, a source informed The Times of India last week.
