First-of-its-kind pollution-free and net-zero E-Waste Eco Park, the Delhi Government has onboarded a leading third-party consultancy to conduct a global feasibility study. 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.
Following detailed discussions chaired by Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, it has been confirmed that the global tender (RFQ-cum-RFP) for the ₹150 crore project is in its final stages of preparation and will soon be floated by DSIIDC — the nodal agency for the Eco Park.
Speaking on the project, Minister for Industries, Environment, Forest and Wildlife, Manjinder Singh Sirsa said:
“This is not just about building infrastructure — it’s about building trust in green technology. We are studying successful models across the world, including those in Norway, which is highly eco-friendly, and Hong Kong, where e-waste facilities operate within cities but cause zero pollution. Our goal is to adopt only the cleanest and safest technologies. 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.”
Benchmarking the Best: Clean, Green, and Globally Informed
• Design and engineering of zero-emission, zero-landfill recycling parks
• Scientific dismantling and segregation protocols
• Rare earth and precious metal recovery systems
• Pollution control infrastructure, air quality monitoring, and digital tracking
• Formal sector linkages with skill-building for the informal e-waste workforce
• Aesthetic and ecological integration including dense tree canopy and green belts
The findings will guide how Delhi’s E-Waste Eco Park will incorporate features like solar-integrated rooftops, modular storage and testing infrastructure, stormwater management, R&D facilities, public awareness zones, and digitised e-waste tracking systems.
The upcoming Green E-Waste 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 while causing substantial reduction in air, water and soil pollution across Delhi. The Eco Park will operate with a zero-leachate target and adhere strictly to CPCB and MoEFCC norms for air, water, soil and noise quality. A green belt covering 33% of the site and 53% allocation to open areas will act as a natural pollution buffer — reaffirming the Delhi Government’s focus on nature-positive industrialisation. The facility will recover valuable rare earth elements, formalise informal recyclers, and create thousands of green jobs — fulfilling both economic and environmental objectives.
DSIIDC will soon invite “the world’s best green technology partners” to participate in the global bid. It was further decided that the scope of work in the tender shall explicitly include integration of international best practices to develop a facility that is “green, clean, net-zero, and aesthetically built to global standards.”
“Each step we’re taking — from third-party validation to global benchmarking — is part of our commitment to a future-ready Delhi that leads India’s ecological and economic transition,” Sirsa added.
