After protests, Chennai corporation goes slow on waste-to-energy project
Orissa POST
|June 09, 2025
Amid growing opposition from residents, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has clarified that the proposed Waste-to-Energy (WtE) project at Kodungaiyur will be implemented only after obtaining public consent and securing mandatory environmental clearances.
The assurance follows stiff resistance from the Federation of North Chennai Welfare Residents Association, which raised concerns about potential health hazards and environmental damage.
In a letter issued by the Solid Waste Management (SWM) wing of the Chennai Corporation, officials stated that the emissions from the incinerator will be continuously monitored by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) and the Corporation itself.
Notably, the civic body said that over 40 per cent of the project's financial allocation will be dedicated to advanced monitoring systems and operational safeguards to ensure environmental safety.
