In addition to the 20 MW plant in Jawahar Nagar, Telangana IT and MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao claimed on Saturday that the Telangana government had made a conscious choice to create Wealth out of Waste (WoW).

With this, Hyderabad will produce 34.5 MW of energy from waste and will be on track for overall 101 MW from waste by December 2024.

He also mentioned that yet another Waste to Energy plant is ready to go live built by GHMC at Dundigal with a capacity of 14.5 MW Fuel consumption: RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) of 800 Tonnes per day that is 1500 TPD/ day of garbage.

According to the proposals of the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Department, the State government aims at generating 100 MW energy from waste in the near future.

Setting an example for other States, the Telangana government had already commissioned South India’s largest Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plant at Jawaharnagar in 2021 and the 19.8-MW plant was later upgraded to 24 MW. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) now plans to upgrade this to 48 MW.
