The Chandigarh RDF facility, previously operated by Jaypee Group (JP), was now taken over by the Mars Group, according to Tribune India. This follows a contract dispute between JP and the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (CMC) over tipping fees, which led to a temporary plant closure earlier this year. As part of a settlement, the Mars Group will pay a salvage value of INR 300 million (USD 4.5 million) to JP. CMC is also planning to set up a 400 tpd WtE facility, for which Mars Group seems to be its project partner. As stated, CMC officials recently visited a WtE plant set up by Mars in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh. It is not clear what kind of technology this WtE plant should use.
