The Haryana Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to set up four integrated waste-to-energy plants in the state. Once operational, these plants, located in the Hisar, Ambala, Faridabad and Gurugram clusters, will scientifically process a total of 5,000 tonnes of waste daily and generate 50 megawatts of energy. These plants are expected to become operational by October 2028.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stated that the plants would be established by Oil Green Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oil India Limited. He remarked that this partnership would not only infuse new energy into Haryana’s urban development but also bring about a significant transformation in the state’s waste management practices.

The Chief Minister said that the first integrated waste-to-energy plant would be set up in the Hisar cluster, covering the Urban Local Bodies of Hisar, Hansi, Fatehabad and Jind districts. This plant will process 500 tonnes of waste daily and is expected to generate a minimum of 5 megawatts of energy.

The second plant will be established in the Ambala cluster, covering the Urban Local Bodies of Ambala, Yamunanagar and Panchkula districts. It will process 900 tonnes of waste daily and is expected to generate a minimum of 9 megawatts of energy.

The third plant will be set up in the Faridabad cluster, processing 1,600 tonnes of waste daily and generating a minimum of 16 megawatts of energy. The fourth plant will be established in the Gurugram cluster, covering Gurugram district. It will process 2,000 tonnes of waste daily and is expected to generate a minimum of 20 megawatts of energy.
