Delhi Minister Orders Increase in Ghazipur Landfill Biomining Capacity by July
Urban Development Minister Ashish Sood has directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to increase biomining capacity at the Ghazipur landfill from 7,000 to 12,000 metric tons per day by July 31 to meet the December 2027 deadline for clearing legacy waste. The landfill, operational since 1984, has processed 13.9 lakh metric tons against a 30 lakh target in Phase I. Weekly monitoring has been introduced to address bottlenecks, and officials were asked to submit a two-month plan for managing fresh waste separately to prevent further accumulation.
