Gwalior
A big step has been taken in the city towards getting rid of waste and a clean environment. The second largest waste based CBG (Compressed Biogas) plant in Madhya Pradesh proposed by Municipal Corporation Gwalior will now be set up on Kedarpur dumpside. The cost of building this plant will be around Rs 75 crore and it will be prepared on about 5.5 hectares of land.
Project got approval
Additional Commissioner of Gwalior Municipal Corporation Munish Singh Sikarwar informed that the project has been approved by the government and tenders will be issued soon for its construction. This plant will process 350 tonnes of wet and dried waste in the city. Out of this, bio -CNG gas and manure will be prepared from wet waste. The plant will produce about 9 tonnes of bio CNG gas per day, which will be used in municipal vehicles and will also be sold commercially. This will give additional revenue to the Municipal Corporation.
A separate plant will be built for dried waste
Additionally, separate plants will also be set up for 277 tonnes of dried waste, which will execute plastic and other recycling materials. This scheme will not only get rid of the garbage heap, but will also strengthen the cleanliness campaign. Earlier this plant was to be set up in the Chanduakhurd dumpyard, but due to land shortage and local disputes, the location has been changed to Kedarpur. This landfield site is now gradually getting empty, which made it possible to build the plant here.
Project will be completed by 2027
The project is likely to be completed by the year 2027. Also, garbage will also be processed from nearby areas like Dabra, Datia and Bamur. The establishment of this CBG plant will prove to be a milestone towards making Gwalior a clean and green city.
Approval from government, tenders will be soon
The largest cow dung -based bio CNG plant of Madhya Pradesh was set up in Gwalior, due to which not only 100 tonnes of cow dung is being executed daily, but it is also increasing the revenue of 1 ton of Bio CNG corporation being made from it. Now after Indore, the second largest CBG plant in the state is also going to be established in Gwalior. The Gwalior Municipal Corporation had sent a proposal for this and sent it to the government and approval has also been received on it. In this plant, 350 TPT (tonne per day) drought and wet waste will be prepared from the city.
A plant will be separate for dried waste
This good option has been prepared by the Municipal Corporation to get rid of the garbage heap in the city. Gwalior Municipal Corporation Additional Commissioner Munish Singh Sikarwar told ETV India that, “This plant has been approved by the government, along with another plant will be set up. Through which 277 TPT drought waste will also be executed per day. It will be a great system which will get rid of the garbage in the city and the environment will be cleaned.”
Plant to be built in 5 and a half hectares
To prepare this plant, the Municipal Corporation will have to spend a significant amount. According to the Additional Commissioner, it will cost about Rs 75 crore to build this plant. The land was proposed by the corporation to the Chanduakhurd dump yard to prepare the West based CBG plant. But here it was decided to change due to lack of land and local disputes and now it was decided to put it on Kedarpur dumpside. This plant will be set up on about 5.5 hectares of land. Because this landfield site is now getting empty. The waste here is being eradicated slowly. Therefore, a new CBG plant will be set up on this land.
Garbage will also be brought from surrounding areas
In this plant to be set up on Kedarpur dump side, garbage will be brought from Dabra Datia and Bamur region every day. Wet and dry waste will be separated here. Wet waste will be used to make bio gas. After this, fertilizer will be prepared from the West Material left. It is believed that 350 TPT (tonne per day) waste will be prepared every day about 9 tonnes of CNG gas. Which will be sold commercially along with using in municipal vehicles. So that the Municipal Corporation will also get revenue.
The plant will be ready by the year 2027
According to Gwalior Municipal Corporation Additional Commissioner Munish Singh Sikarwar, “This plant is currently at paperwork level. Tenders are going to be released for its construction in the coming one or two weeks. Its construction will be completed in the coming two to three years. In this area, this plant is being seen as a new achievement in this area.”
