# Gurugram civic body revives decade-old waste-to-energy plant plan 2026-08-13T05:51:10+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) plans to sign an MoU with a government company to build a waste-to-energy plant at Kasan village in Manesar, reviving a project pending for nearly a decade. The plant will process fresh municipal waste from Gurugram and Manesar and generate electricity, reducing the daily inflow to the Bandhwari landfill, which holds an estimated 16-17 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste. MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya said the MoU is being finalised. After signing, technical specifications, capacity and operational framework will be set before tenders are issued. The decision to use a government company instead of a private concessionaire follows years of delays over land identification and agency selection. Land at Kasan has already been fenced. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Bandhwari landfill, Gurugram, MCG, solid waste management, waste to energy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/gurugram-civic-body-revives-decade-old-waste-to-energy-plant-plan/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
