Finance Commission Reviews Waste-to-Wealth Project in Tirupati

Members of the Sixteenth Finance Commission visited the integrated solid waste management plant at Tukivakam near Tirupati on Thursday, as part of their four-day tour of Andhra Pradesh, to review innovative waste-to-wealth initiatives.

The delegation included Ritvik Pandey, Annie George Matthew, K K Mishra, Abhay Menon, and Aditya Pant. They were accompanied by officials from the Municipal Administration Department, including Principal Secretary S Suresh Kumar.

During the visit, officials explained the segregation process used by the Tirupati Municipal Corporation. Waste collected from the city is sorted into wet and dry categories.

Wet waste is converted into compost and supplied to farmers and public parks, while plastic waste is processed and sold to cement factories for reuse. Market and hotel waste is also utilised to produce biogas for commercial applications.

The Commission members were shown various operations at the facility, including dry waste processing, construction debris treatment, and sustainable disposal methods.

The visit followed deliberations with the state government in Amaravati, and the Commission noted the economic and environmental benefits of Tirupati’s decentralised waste management model.
