Greater Noida to Get New C&D Waste Plant

31 Jan 2025 CW Team

Growing Waste Management Challenges

Currently, GNIDA operates a C&D waste facility in Ecotech 3, capable of processing 100 TPD, expandable to 300 TPD. However, with an average daily intake of 150 TPD, the facility struggles to clear a backlog of nearly 70,000 tonnes of legacy waste. Additionally, six waste collection points are operational across the city, but the rising volume of debris necessitates a larger processing capacity.

As Greater Noida continues to expand—driven by major projects like the Noida International Airport in Jewar—the demand for efficient waste management solutions is growing. The new facility aims to streamline waste processing and systematically address the backlog of accumulated waste.

PPP Model for Efficient Operations

The upcoming plant will likely be established in Astauli or another approved location. GNIDA will implement the project under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, where the selected concessionaire will manage waste collection, transportation, and processing. The concession period will initially be seven years, with two possible extensions of four years each, making the maximum contract duration 15 years.

A key requirement for the concessionaire is to clear all legacy waste and address illegal dumping within the first year of operations. This will significantly improve waste management efficiency in Greater Noida.

Strict Penalties for Illegal Dumping

To curb illegal dumping, GNIDA is introducing stringent fines. Individuals caught dumping C&D waste illegally will be fined Rs 1,000, while non-residential offenders will face a Rs 2,000 penalty. Builders and developers violating disposal norms will be fined Rs 25,000.

Enforcement will be jointly carried out by GNIDA officials and the concessionaire, with fine collections shared—70% going to the concessionaire and 30% to GNIDA. This initiative aims to encourage proper waste disposal while strengthening regulatory measures.

With this new facility, Greater Noida is taking a significant step toward sustainable urban waste management, ensuring cleaner and more organised development in the region.

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is set to establish a new construction and demolition (C&D) waste processing facility with a capacity of 300 to 500 tonnes per day (TPD). The Rs 180 million project aims to address the increasing waste generated by rapid urbanisation and ongoing infrastructure developments.
