BMC will invite an expression of interest (EoI) from companies for setting up five waste-to-energy plants in the city.
The initiative is part of the corporation’s attempt to ease pressure off the city’s two landfills at Deonar and Mulund, which have exceeded capacity as the appointed contractors refuse to process the collecting waste. The city generates nearly 6,500 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste and 2,000-2,500 metric tonnes of construction waste (debris and silt) daily.
