Bestablished Sewerage Treatment Plant at Dela, which was comprised of two units and
the bio-gas produced from both the units was allowed to flare up in atmosphere without
any recovery/useful conversion in the initial stage. Later on, a power plant for generation
of 8800 KWA energy per day was established for using bio-gas from STP plant unit-I in the
year 2009. After completion of Unit-II in year the 2012, it was decided to use the bio-gas of
second unit for production of CNG. The bio-gas of second unit is being used for production
of bio-CNG by setting up a bottling plant under PPP mode. Land of 10000 sq. mt. has been
provided to PPP operator on nominal lease rent of Rs. 1/ sq. mt. for a period of operation
after commissioning of 25 years. As on 2014, minimum supply of bio-gas from STP plant
was 6000 cu. mt/day for which PPP operator was to pay Rs. 6.15/cu. mt. of each unit of bio-
gas supplied. The produced CBG has to be sold at lower price than the commercial LPG
price. Considering the debt equity ratio of 75:25, a payback period of five years was worked
out. The project is a unique example to address the problem of environment pollution,
employment using waste generation for produce useful energy, alternative fuel at
affordable price and good model for revenue generation for to local bodies which will
help in meeting the O & M cost. View of the treatment plant

objective was to integrate the informal sector in door to door collection and to upgrade
their livelihood.
The members of the cooperative often worked in pairs and were in charge of door-to-
door waste collection for 250-350 households. Waste pickers received segregated waste
(separated between wet or organic waste and dry waste) from house-holds/properties
and further segregated the recyclables to be sold in the recycle market; non-recyclable
waste was dropped at feeder points. The model was energy efficient and environmentally
benefitting. SWaCH collected waste from 74 Prabhags out of the 15 administrative wards
of the city and more than 600 tons of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) per day and about 130
tons of waste was sent for composting everyday and 150 tons was recycled.
All the above efforts led various achievements including lower administrative expenses
with the cost being Rs.3/month/household as compared to an average of Rs.25 incurred
by other cities in India that adopted professional waste management system. The contract
with SWaCH has saved PMC more than Rs.12 crores per annum in waste handling cost.
