Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the establishment of India's first Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Processing Facility in Bhandewadi, Nagpur. The facility, developed by the Kewa Sus Bade Group, will process around 1,200 metric tonnes of waste daily and generate approximately 28 tonnes of biogas. This initiative is designed to transform Nagpur into a garbage-free city through modern waste management techniques and green energy production. The project will be executed in three phases and is expected to be fully operational by August. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation has allocated 30 acres of land for the facility, which will also produce compost fertiliser and fuel pellets from dry waste. The biogas generated will be used to supply CNG for nearly 198 city buses. The project operates under a public-private partnership, alleviating financial burdens on the municipal corporation while establishing Nagpur as a national benchmark for solid waste management.
