In a bold step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future, Delhi is all set to unveil India’s first net-zero e-waste eco park in Holambi Kalan. Spanning over 11.4 acres, this state-of-the-art facility will handle over 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually and is poised to generate an economic output exceeding Rs 350 crore.
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the Delhi government aims to transform how India deals with growing electronic waste while setting global green technology benchmarks. The park is being developed by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC).
A First-of-Its-Kind Green Initiative
The Rs 150 crore initiative is designed to operate on net-zero emissions, follow zero-landfill protocols, and incorporate dense tree canopies for environmental harmony. It aligns with international green standards like ISO 9000, EN 50625, CENELEC, and India’s CPCB and MoEFCC regulations.
To ensure the park’s global relevance, the government has enlisted a third-party consultancy to study top recycling models from Norway and Hong Kong—two nations known for eco-friendly urban waste management systems.
Driving Delhi’s Green Economy
Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa emphasized that the park would be more than just a recycling hub — it will be a cornerstone in reducing air, water, and soil pollution, creating thousands of green jobs, and formalising the informal e-waste sector.
“By floating a global RFQ-cum-RFP tender, we aim to attract the best in green tech from across the world,” Sirsa said, assuring high standards in engineering and environmental integrity.
High-Tech, High-Impact
The park’s advanced design includes:
Air quality monitoring systems
Digital tracking for e-waste processing
Pollution control mechanisms
Precious metal and rare earth recovery systems
Skilling programs for e-waste workers
With Delhi battling pollution on multiple fronts, this landmark project promises to be a game changer in environmental sustainability and urban planning.
