Overview

  • Spread across 11.4 acres at Holambi Kalan, the Public-Private Partnership project will be completed within 18 months following a global RFQ-cum-RFP.
  • The facility is designed to process 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually across 106 categories listed under India’s E-Waste Management Rules.
  • The Delhi government will float a global RFQ-cum-RFP under a DBFOT-style PPP model to appoint operators for a 15-year concession.
  • The project involves ₹150 crore in capital expenditure, over ₹325 crore in operational costs and is projected to generate more than ₹350 crore in revenue.
  • Dedicated zones for dismantling, refurbishing, component testing, plastic recovery and a second-hand electronics market will complement skilling centres to formalize thousands of informal workers.
