Overview
- The facility is generating about 11.5 MW each day by converting segregated dry and low-grade plastic waste into electricity, according to BSWML.
- Daily inputs currently total roughly 600 tonnes, comprising around 200 tonnes of household dry waste and about 400 tonnes of RDF from legacy dumps and DWCCs.
- Since operations began in June 2024, the plant has processed 168,036 tonnes of waste and produced approximately 54.3 million units of power, KPCL officials said.
- City data show compactor trips to landfills dropped from 390 to 340 over the past month as source segregation improved.
- Set up by KPCL for about ₹314.7 crore under a DFCO&T model on a 163-acre site, the project diverts low-grade plastics from landfills, with ash to be used in road construction, the Energy Minister said.
