Plastic waste processing plant set up in Greater Noida's Ecotech 12
NOIDA: Greater Noida has set up a plastic waste processing plant, known as a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), in Ecotech 12. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) established this facility, which has the capacity to process five metric tons of waste per day. Waste collected from nearby areas will be brought to this plant, where it will be segregated and used to prepare raw material from plastic. This raw material will then be used to make products like chairs, tables, and lamps. The facility has a monthly capacity to segregate approximately 150 metric tons of waste. Greater Noida generates nearly 25 tons of plastic waste per day. According to the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, it is the duty and responsibility of urban local bodies to set up MRFs in their area. An MRF is a facility where non-compostable solid waste is temporarily stored to facilitate segregation, sorting, and recovery of recyclables from various components of waste by the authorised informal sector of waste pickers, informal recyclers, or any other workforce engaged by the local body for the purpose before the waste is delivered or taken up for its processing or disposal. Dadri MLA Tejpal Nagar, the Authority's ACEO Shrilakshmi VS, and OSD Abhishek Pathak inaugurated the facility on Wednesday. Nagar stated that proper waste management is crucial for any city. 'The authority's initiative in processing waste and working towards making Greater Noida clean is appreciated. Residents from both villages and sectors should support and benefit from this facility,' he said. Chetram Singh, a senior manager at Greater Noida Authority, explained that the waste material is segregated into different streams of waste fractions (paper, plastic, packaging paper, bottles, etc.), which are then sold to intermediaries who supply bulk material to the recycling industries. 'This facility will only handle plastic waste. We will also raise awareness for segregation of waste at the household level,' he said. ACEO Shrilakshmi mentioned that this MRF centre is part of an effort to make Greater Noida a clean and beautiful city. She said that this initiative will only succeed if residents segregate waste at the source. She urged citizens to keep two separate dustbins for wet and dry waste. The centre will initially process five tons of waste daily, and its capacity may be increased in the future. The cost of setting up this facility is Rs 4 crore, which will be borne by HDFC Bank under its CSR fund. The centre will be operated and managed by an NGO, the Centre for Environment Education (CEE). Kartikeya Sarabhai, Director of CEE, said a campaign will be launched to raise awareness among residents about segregating waste at the household level.

Greater Noida: Two realtors fined ₹5 lakh each over pollution
GREATER NOIDA: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has imposed a total penalty of ₹10 lakh on two construction projects for allegedly causing air and water pollution in residential sectors of the city, officials said on Wednesday. The action follows multiple complaints from residents through various social media platforms and the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS), and direct submissions to the authority office. Officials informed that a site inspection was conducted on May 24 at plot GH-05 in Sector Techzone 4 which revealed open transportation of sand, soil, and construction material in uncovered dumpers, contributing to widespread dust emissions. Authorities observed that basement construction work was underway without adequate measures to control airborne dust. The inspection report also noted the likelihood of damage to the 45-metre wide road in front of the project site due to constant dumping and water transportation using tractors and dumpers. Besides, residents living near the site had reported breathing difficulties due to the rising dust levels, officials said. 'The project lacked effective dust control mechanisms, which is a clear violation of NGT norms. The builder concerned has been directed to deposit an environmental compensation amount of ₹5 lakh at the earliest and submit the receipt to the authority's institutional and builders' wing', said senior manager, Greater Noida authority, Rajesh Kumar. In a separate inspection conducted on the same day, officials found that in plot 8 in Sector 1, untreated sewage water and basement water was being directly discharged onto the adjoining 60-metre wide service road. Senior officials, including deputy general manager (projects), senior managers from sewer and work circle-3 departments, were present during the inspection. The builder was found to have damaged the road and drainage infrastructure, prompting officials to direct the developer to immediately clean the area and ensure a proper wastewater disposal system, officials informed. 'A penalty of ₹500,000 has been imposed on the developer for damaging public infrastructure and tarnishing the image of the authority. The builder must not only deposit the fine but also bear the cost of repairing the road and drains,' said the senior manager. Developers are warned to adhere to environmental protocols and take corrective measures to prevent further pollution, officials said.

40 industrial plots up for grab off freight corridors in Noida
Noida: In a bid to boost industrial growth and employment in the region, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has launched a new scheme to allot 40 industrial plots through e-auction. The plots, ranging from 450 sqm to 8,000 sqm, are expected to generate revenue of around Rs 400 crore from their reserve price alone. Officials estimate that once allotted, these plots could attract investments of up to Rs 800 crore and generate nearly 10,000 job opportunities. Spread across several industrial sectors, the scheme's largest share, 27 plots, is located in Ecotech XI, which offers plot sizes from 1,000 sqm to 8,000 sqm. Reserve prices here range from Rs 28,000 to Rs 34,000 per sqm. Ecotech-I Extension features seven plots, catering primarily to mid-sized enterprises. Two plots each are available in Ecotech VI and Ecotech X, while Ecotech III has one plot on offer. The scheme will see the allotment of nearly 40 acres of industrial land. According to GNIDA officials, the scheme offers several key advantages, including proximity to the upcoming Noida International Airport, and connectivity to both the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors. All plots come with ready-to-move infrastructure in a smart, sustainable industrial zone. Participants can opt for dynamic bidding, where a single earnest money deposit (EMD) makes them eligible to bid for multiple plots, provided the EMD covers the combined reserve values. Alternatively, they can choose single bidding for individual plots. All plots are free of encumbrances, with possession promised within 30 days of allotment on an "as is where is" basis. Allottees will have three years to complete their industrial projects. They can either pay the entire land cost within 90 days to avail a 2% rebate or choose a deferred payment plan: 40% within two months, and the rest over four years in eight half-yearly instalments, with applicable interest.
