Mumbai’s Deonar Waste-to-Energy plant to start within 3 months

22 Apr 2025 CW Team

Mumbai's Deonar Waste-to-Energy plant has entered its final phase and is expected to be commissioned within three months, confirmed Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani. The plant will process 600 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste daily, generating about 4 MW of electricity.

Mumbai generates approximately 7,000 metric tonnes of waste daily. The Deonar dumping ground, operational since 1927, is burdened with a backlog of nearly 20 million metric tonnes of waste. The city has closed the Gorai and Mulund landfills, with Kanjur Marg currently being the only active one.

The Deonar plant, part of a sustainable waste management initiative, will help tackle the city's mounting waste issue. The BMC had faced delays in launching the plant, which began construction in June 2022 after initial bidding issues. The plant's contract was awarded to M/s Chennai MSW Pvt Ltd at a cost of Rs 6.48 billion.
