The project worth Rs 200 crore shall be constructed on a public-private partnership (PPP) venture on a design-build-finance-operate-transfer foundation.The plant infrastructure will be erected by the concessionaire, with operations and upkeep work for ten years.

The power generated should be based on recycling, sorting strains, segregation, bio-methanation and composting programs.

The bidding course for the PPP venture will be on two levels.

In the first level of the request for quotation (RFQ) stage, eligible and potential bidders will be shortlisted based on the submitted documents.

In the second level, known as the request for proposal (RFP) or invitation of monetary bids, the shortlisted bidder will get the RFP.

Earlier, the Company of the Metropolis of Panaji acquired land at Bainguinim to arrange the waste administration plant, but in 2017, the land was given to GWMC.

The GWMC held a public hearing and received environmental clearance.
