India’s largest dumping ground is in Deonar, Mumb ai
After several hurdles, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced that it finally managed to get 3 companies to bid for the WtE project in Deonar. One of them is from Europe and two are from India. The bidder should be awarded on a design, build and commissioning basis. As was reported on mid-day.com, the plant will have a capacity of 3,000 tons of waste per day and a power production capacity of at least 25 MW. BMC originally invited 5 to 6 foreign companies that had earlier shown an interest in the project and had to extend the deadlines multiple times since the tendering started in 2018.
