The Municipal Corporation of Delhi extends the timeline for its 200-tonne Goyla Dairy waste-to-energy facility to combat river pollution.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has officially established a new deadline for the commissioning of its highly anticipated Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) facility located at Goyla Dairy. MCD Commissioner Sanjeev Khirwar issued direct orders to municipal officials to guarantee that the under-construction plant is completed and ready for commercial operation by September 17. This newly announced timeline represents an extension from the project’s original completion target, which had been previously scheduled for July.
Once fully operational, the specialized bio-gas infrastructure is engineered to process approximately 200 tonnes of cattle dung alongside municipal solid waste on a daily basis. Beyond generating sustainable compressed bio-gas, the facility will simultaneously yield high-quality organic fertilizer as a primary byproduct. This processing dual-track aims to directly address chronic urban pollution challenges by preventing large volumes of untreated agricultural and municipal waste from infiltrating nearby drainage networks and contaminating the critical Yamuna River ecosystem.
In a comprehensive progress review of the ongoing installation in the Najafgarh zone, Commissioner Khirwar instructed the executing agency to aggressively expedite all outstanding civil, mechanical, and electrical workflows. To ensure that deadlines are met without further delay, project managers have been directed to deploy expanded manpower resources and systematically resolve any lingering infrastructural bottlenecks on a priority basis. A critical component of these instructions requires local officials to establish a flawless containment system so that zero cattle dung spills into adjacent waterways, thereby protecting local environmental integrity and safeguarding public health.
Following the Najafgarh project evaluation, the commissioner conducted field inspections across separate solid waste management facilities located within Delhi’s West Zone. The site visits included a thorough review of the newly refurbished Fixed Compactor Transfer Stations situated at Pankha Road as well as an active build-operate-transfer (BOT) site. These strategic field audits were designed to evaluate upgraded municipal infrastructure and verify the overall operational preparedness of regional waste conversion programs.
To reinforce these extensive waste collection and transportation networks, the MCD has significantly upgraded its specialized environmental transport fleet. According to an official municipal statement, regional transfer stations have been freshly equipped with an enhanced asset array, including heavy-duty container carriers, hook loaders, and mechanized road-sweeping waste transport vehicles. This logistics network is further supported by an influx of auto tippers and eco-friendly e-rickshaws, creating a robust, circular waste management blueprint capable of servicing the region’s dense dairy hubs.
