Delhi to Get 3 More Facilities to Process C&D Waste

The capital will get three more construction and demolition (C&D) waste processing units with a capacity of 2,500 tonnes per day (TPD) to tackle dust pollution. According to a new report of Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), around 3,711TPD of C&D waste is generated in Delhi, which is transported to the four existing C&D waste processing facilities with 4,150TPD capacity. “Three new C&D waste processing facilities have been proposed at Ranikhera, Tehkhand Okhla and Libaspur. The Ranikhera plant, with a capacity of 1,000 TPD under North Delhi Municipal Corporation, is under construction and expected to be commissioned by November,” said the DPCC annual report. It added that two more facilities were proposed at Tehkhand Okhla (1,000TPD) and Libaspur (500 TPD) under the authority of south corporation and PWD, respectively. Currently, four plants are located at Burari (2,000TPD), Shastri Park (1,000TPD), Mundka (150TPD) and Bakkarwala village (100TPD). “In these units, paver blocks, kerb stones, bricks, aggregates, sand, and soil of BIS standards are being produced, which is further used in infrastructure projects. With the existing and proposed processing facilities, it is expected that the entire C&D waste generated in Delhi will be managed properly in a scientific-manner,” said the report.
