Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated Gujarat’s largest waste-to-energy plant at Piplaj in Ahmedabad City today. The plant has been established on a PPP model at a cost of 375 crore rupees. Akashvani correspondent reports that this will be Ahmedabad’s first waste-to-energy plant, which will prove to be a big step towards a green future.

The largest West-to-Energy Plant, which has been set up at Pirana Piplaj Road in Ahmedabad, is a joint partnership between the Government of Gujarat and the Jindal Urban Waste Management Company. The plant, which was set up on an experimental basis, was inaugurated officially today. It has the capacity to generate 15 megawatts of energy from 1 thousand metric tonnes of solid waste per day. The plant will not only ensure a green and clean future for Ahmedabad but will also prove to be a model initiative for effective waste management.
