The project is scheduled to be operational within two years. For the purpose, the EIL has set up a subsidiary -- the Nagpur Solid Waste Processing & Management (NSWPMPL) -- to develop the project with an investment of Rs 219 crore
Besides, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) will contribute Rs 70 crore as viability gap funding to execute the project under the Swachh Bharat Mission
Once operational, it will treat 80 tonne of the total 1,100 tonne waste generated in Nagpur city
NSWPMPL will also operate and maintain the plant for 13 years and the NMC will pay a tipping charge of Rs 225 per tonne to be increased by 4.5 percent annually
EIL will also operate the existing landfill site, develop two more and operate and maintain them for 13 years, ensuring mitigation of fires, air, and ground water pollution
