Being a planned upgrade-driven implosion, the process can open the floodgates to the safe redevelopment of old or outdated commercial or residential real estate in crowded areas of cities. It also takes away the sting of court-imposed orders which have triggered earlier implosions
NOIDA: With a spurt in post-lockdown construction activity since October, the daily disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in Noida has nearly doubled now.
A waste processing plant in Sector 80, which had signed up for processing only 300 tonnes per day, is now treating double its daily capacity, officials said. Moreover, the good news is that the city has been able to recycle its ‘legacy waste’.
The C&D plant is being operated by Ramky Reclamation and Recycling Ltd on a public-private-partnership model on a five-acre plot of the Noida Authority land. The initial agreement with the Authority is for 15 years. The Authority has agreed to pay a total of Rs 495 for each tonne of processed waste to Ramky. While Rs 347 will be paid as transportation cost, Rs 148 per tonne will be paid as processing fees to the agency.
