Indore News: Corporators Visit Vizag To Inspect Waste-To-Energy & STP Plants

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A 22-member delegation of corporators from the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) is currently on a study tour to Visakhapatnam. The visit aims to study best practices in sanitation, waste management and urban innovation to further strengthen Indores civic systems. During the tour, the delegation inspected the waste-to-energy plant in Visakhapatnam, where nearly 1,400 tonnes of solid waste is processed daily. The plant generates around 15 MW electricity per day, of which about 2 MW is consumed for operations and the remaining generates revenue for the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. Corporators noted that while Indore has an advanced biogas production system from waste, Visakhapatnam is making significant strides in energy self-reliance through power generation. Indore News: Missing Since Feb 10, 25-Year-Old MBA Student Found Dead, Naked At Classmate's Flat The team also visited the 23-acre Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), where wastewater from households is treated through an RO-based system and reused. Industries in the city are mandated to use this treated water, promoting water conservation and environmental protection. The delegation later held discussions with GVMC officials on sanitation practices, public participation and urban facilities, followed by a cordial exchange of mementos between both civic bodies.
