1.75 (0.68%) The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has signed an agreement with Delhi Transco (DTL) and Power Grid Corporation of India to facilitate the development of a waste-to-energy plant at Narela Bawana. Designed to process 3,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day, the upcoming facility is expected to play a crucial role in easing the city's waste burden and generating clean energy.
To pave the way for construction, a portion of the project site needed to be cleared, as three 400 KV transmission lines -- one owned by DTL and two by Power Grid -- currently run through the area. As part of the agreement, one DTL line and one Power Grid line will be consolidated onto multi-circuit towers, making room for the plant. The task of relocating the transmission lines will be carried out by Power Grid, while the Municipal Corporation of Delhi will bear the one-time capital cost involved in the shift. The arrangement ensures that Delhi's power transmission network remains unaffected during the development of the project.
Power Grid Corporation of India is an Indian state-owned electric utilities company headquartered in Gurgaon, India.
