Amit Shah inaugurates Gujarat's largest waste-to-energy power plant

Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated Gujarat’s largest waste-to-energy power plant on Friday. Located near Piplaj village on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, the 15-megawatt facility will convert solid waste into electricity. Developed as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with an investment of Rs 375 crore, the plant will process 1,000 metric tonnes of solid waste per day, contributing to both waste management and clean energy production.

The plant is part of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's efforts to address waste disposal challenges and reduce pollution. By utilizing advanced reverse grate firing technology, the plant will generate steam from incinerated waste, which will then be used to produce electricity for the local power grid. This will not only support Ahmedabad’s power supply but also help in reducing carbon emissions from waste disposal.

Amit Shah, along with Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, emphasized the importance of sustainable waste management and the facility’s role in Gujarat’s broader environmental strategy. This project is seen as a model for future waste-to-energy initiatives across India.
