Three new WtE plants to come up in Hyderabad

Three new waste-to-energy (WtE) plants are in the pipeline in Hyderabad. New plants are to come up in Bibinagar, Yacharam and a 14.5 mw WtE plant at Dundigal.

According to officials quoted in The Hans India, the quantity of waste treated and disposed in tonnes per day on an average is increasing constantly every year in Hyderabad. From 2,200 tonnes of waste in 2012-13 to 5,900 tonnes in 2020-2021, the waste disposal is three times higher, which can generate more energy with the help of WtE plant.

Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd is planning to enhance the capacity of the existing 19.8 mw WtE plant at Jawaharnagar to 48 mw. It has also proposed to establish a 14.5 mw plant at Dundigal besides its hazardous waste management project. Clearance for the projects has been issued by the TSPCB.
