Setting Up of Solid Waste Disposal Plants on Indian Railway

Railways have proposed a pilot project for disposal of municipal solid waste being generated at railway terminals in an environment friendly manner, including conversion of waste to energy. 

New Delhi and Jaipur Railway Stations have been identified for setting up pilot plants. 

Quantum of energy generated will depend upon the technology adopted for the pilot plant. Bio gas or electricity are the two possible forms of energy to be generated from these plants which would be utilized for suitable services at/near Railway Station. 

Time required and the cost of the project would depend on the technology chosen for the pilot plant. 

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Manoj Sinha in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha on 11.12.2015.
