After awarding a contract for a waste-to-energy plant, which would process 600 metric tonnes of garbage daily at the Deonar dumping ground, the BMC has now invited a global expression of interest (EoI) for a second plant that would process 1,200 to 1,800 metric tonnes of garbage daily. The corporation has been trying to develop waste-to-energy plants since the last seven years at the city’s biggest dumping ground.
About three years back, the civic body changed its policy for the same and decided to set up smaller plants at the dumping ground.
