NAGPUR: Though it is reportedly dealing with a monetary disaster, Essel Infraprojects Private Ltd has assured the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) that it would start work on the waste-to-energy mission inside of a month and commission it through January 2020. The corporate has secured a mortgage for the mission from Power Finance Corporation Limited.
For this mission, the NMC had executed an agreement with Nagpur Solid Waste Processing and Management Private Ltd (NSWPMPL) — a joint venture of Essel Infra and Japan-based Hitachi Zosan India Private Ltd — on May 4, 2017. As in line with the agreement, the company was intended to commission the plant inside of two years.
The corporate has now not began any work on the proposed website online at Bhandewadi dumping yard. For the last couple of months, the company has been in the information for being in a monetary disaster.
Also, the NMC is dumping around 1,200 tonne of garbage which are going untreated. Some NMC officials felt that Essel won't be capable of execute the mission.
Municipal commissioner Abhijit Bangar held a gathering with mission director Jeewan Sonwane a couple of days ago. “We did not obtain any information about Essel chickening out from the mission. We directed the company to start work on the website online inside of 15 days,” stated Bangar.
Sonwane, who is a retired municipal commissioner, told IdealNews that he too heard in regards to the corporate’s monetary disaster through media reviews. “This mission has no problems. We require 14 forms of permission for beginning the work and all took time for processing. Now the whole thing is in position. We have ordered machineries from Hitachi and must obtain them in the next two months. The trial run of the plant will get started from January 2020,” he stated.
According to Sonwane, the waste to energy mission will be handiest the 3rd in the country. “It will be Essel’s 2d mission with the first being in Jabalpur,” he stated.
Jindal Urban Infrastructure Ltd has a equivalent plant at Okhla in New Delhi.
Following a delay, the NMC Pench Project Cell has proposed that a penalty of Rs1 crore be levied on Essel. It is yet to be approved through NMC’s best officials.
Sonwane stated the company must now not be penalized as the closing date of 2 years began from November when Essel managed to seal the monetary deal. “The NMC has misinterpreted the closing date. We are focused on to commission the mission ahead of the closing date lapses,” he stated.
An NMC legit stated the closing date of 2 years ended in November 2017. “As in line with the agreement, the company was to finish the mission inside of two years from turning in land. We handed over six acres in August 2017 and any other 4 acres in November 2017. Action will be taken on the corporate in case work doesn’t start as in line with the closing date fixed,” he stated.
Under the mission, Essel Infra has to arrange a plant to generate 11.5MW power from 800 tonnes of garbage every day. The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission had approved a tariff of Rs7 in line with unit. The NMC, Essel Infra and MSEDCL had executed a tripartite agreement below which power generated from the plant will be procured through MSEDCL on the price of Rs7 in line with unit round-the-clock.
