MCD Seeks Land for New Waste-Processing Plants in Delhi's Najafgarh and Narela Zones
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has requested land from the Delhi Development Authority and the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board to establish new waste-processing plants in four villages across the Najafgarh and Narela zones. Delhi generates about 13,500 tonnes of waste daily, but the MCD processes only 57%, leaving approximately 5,800 tonnes untreated and adding to saturated landfill sites. The MCD plans to expand processing capacity through new projects and bio-mining efforts, addressing land shortages and growing waste challenges.
