The closure of the Deonar dumping ground is proving to be a costly affair for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The BMC administration has finalised a contract for waste to energy plant at Deonar dumping ground for the whopping Rs. 1150 crores.

The plant will process 600 metric tonnes of garbage daily. But the amount is not sufficient and the civic body is looking for another option to process another 1200 metric tonnes of waste daily. The civic body has finally got a contractor to process waste in the Deonar dumping ground. The process to find a contractor had been begun in February 2014, nearly six years ago.
