Kochi Corporation Retains Land Ownership Amid Brahmapuram Waste Plant Disputes
The Kochi Corporation has decided not to transfer ownership of land for the proposed Brahmapuram waste-to-energy plant but is open to leasing it, retaining control over lease terms. Councillors oppose treating waste beyond district boundaries. Meanwhile, the 150-tonne Compressed Biogas plant at Brahmapuram faces operational challenges, with the Corporation and operator BPCL-KR blaming each other for frequent shutdowns and suboptimal performance, citing issues like waste segregation and feed quality.
