Tender at final stages of preparation for e-waste eco park: Sisra

Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday said that a global tender is in the final stages of preparation for “India’s first” green e-waste eco park at Holambi Kalan in north Delhi.

The initiative aims to build a world-class facility at Holambi Kalan that will set new standards in sustainability, e-waste management, and environmental responsibility, he said.

“This is not just about developing infrastructure, it’s about building trust in green technology. We are studying successful models from around the world, including those in Norway, which is highly eco-friendly, and Hong Kong, where e-waste facilities operate within cities without causing pollution. Our goal is to adopt only the cleanest and safest technologies,” Mr. Sirsa said, adding that the government has roped in a leading third-party consultancy to conduct a global feasibility study.

“This will not only ensure environmental protection but will also provide a major economic boost to the local village, curb pollution, and mark a major step towards freeing Delhi from its pollution burden,” he added.

According to the Delhi government, the eco park spread across 11.4 acres will process over 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually and is expected to generate over ₹350 crore in economic output.
