Mumbai's First Waste-to-Energy Plant in Pali Hill to Be Revived by BMCPreviousNext

Mumbai's first waste-to-energy plant in Pali Hill, Bandra, operational since 2018 and processing about one tonne of organic waste daily, is set to be revived by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation after becoming defunct last year. The plant, initiated by the Pali Hill Residents Association, served around 79 buildings and 23 bungalows, generating electricity for local street lights and producing manure. Maintenance issues arose after the original operator's contract ended, leading to its closure despite initial effective management and minimal odor complaints from residents.
