Nilesh Modhave of MIDC, head of engineering, “We had site visits with the chief engineer from PMRDA, but we have no official correspondence as such from the PMRDA. MIDC is planning a garbage disposal plant in phase III, but this will be for the industrial area and will cater up to 40 tonnes.”

PMDRA is also providing garbage bins and garbage collection vans in local villages as well and is in the process of looking for options for waste-to-energy projects which will help convert tonnes of garbage into energy. They are also working with the gram panchayat to manage waste, with capital investment and infrastructure along with garbage bins and vehicles.
