Delhi Plans Rs 1.5 Billion E-Waste Eco Park After Norway Visit

Taking a significant step towards positioning Delhi as a national leader in sustainable industrial growth, the city’s Environment, Forest & Wildlife and Industries Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, visited the renowned Revac e-waste processing facility in Revetal, Norway. The visit marks a milestone in the Delhi Government’s plan to establish India’s first E-Waste Eco Park at Holambi Kalan, aimed at promoting a cleaner and more circular urban economy.
With an investment of Rs 1.5 billion, the proposed eco park is expected to process over 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually, providing a formal alternative to Delhi’s currently unregulated e-waste sector. Revac, one of Europe’s most advanced e-waste processing centres, was selected as the model for Delhi’s facility due to its scale, environmental compliance, and operational excellence. Spanning 110,000 square metres, the facility handles approximately 110,000 metric tonnes of e-waste each year, specialising in material recovery, safe dismantling, and zero-pollution practices. Notably, Revac also exports recycled raw materials to Indian manufacturers, highlighting a successful circular economy link between Europe and India.
During his visit, Sirsa conducted a technical assessment of the site, inspecting segregation, dismantling, and advanced material extraction processes. He held discussions with Revac’s senior engineers on best practices that could be replicated in Delhi, covering policy design, regulatory compliance, and public engagement strategies.
“As both Environment and Industries Minister, I will ensure neither sector is compromised. Our aim is integrated progress — clean industry that drives economic growth while preserving the environment,” Sirsa told the media.
The upcoming eco park, to be developed under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), is set to be the first facility in India capable of handling all 106 categories of e-waste listed under the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022. The project is expected to generate over Rs 3.5 billion in revenue and create thousands of green jobs, playing a critical role in formalising Delhi’s hazardous informal recycling network.
Delhi, which contributes nearly 9.5 per cent of India’s total e-waste—ranking third globally—faces a growing environmental challenge. The Holambi Kalan initiative forms part of the broader Viksit Bharat@2047 strategy, aligning sustainability with economic advancement.
“This is not just about managing waste,” said Sirsa, “but about creating a Delhi that is clean, circular, competitive and future-ready.”
