18 Jun 2024 CW Team

Ramky Infrastructure Limited (Ramky) has been honoured with the esteemed FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry) Smart Urban Innovation Award 2024 in the "Sustainable Cities" category. This award recognises their significant contribution to the treatment and disposal of legacy leachate in Jawahar Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana.

The award was presented during the 5th edition of the Smart Urban Innovation Awards, held alongside the 7th edition of FICCI's Cities Summit, which aims to foster dialogue and innovative solutions for critical urban infrastructure development issues. Ramky was one of 10 organisations, including corporates, government agencies, and educational institutions, recognised from 98 entries, all working towards the nation's smart cities mission.

Legacy leachate, a toxic by-product of waste decomposition, poses a serious environmental threat by contaminating nearby water bodies and groundwater. Ramky's innovative solution involved a 2,000 KLD leachate treatment plant designed to address this issue. The project also included the restoration and stabilisation of ponds near the waste management facility. The initial estimated volume of legacy leachate in Hyderabad exceeded 849,780.88 kilolitres (KL).

"We are honoured to receive the Smart Urban Innovation Award 2024 under the Sustainable Cities category," said Y.R. Nagaraja, Managing Director, Ramky Infrastructure Limited. "This recognition reflects Ramky's unwavering commitment to providing urban solutions that pave the way for a sustainable future for our cities. The Hyderabad leachate treatment plant, the first of its kind in the country, is a testament to this commitment, setting an industry benchmark for future projects. We remain dedicated to developing and delivering infrastructure solutions that contribute to a cleaner and healthier tomorrow for present and future generations."
