The plant, which has the capacity to treat 150 tonnes of biodegradable waste daily, is expected to be completed by the end of March. Initially, the plant was set up by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) to handle waste exclusively from the Kochi Corporation area, with an investment of Rs 90 crore. However, a recent decision has expanded the scope of the project to include waste from surrounding local bodies, such as Thrikkakara, Kalamassery, and Eloor, to ensure a steady supply of waste for the plant's operations.
