Gurugram's Waste Overhaul: Ambitious Plan to Tackle Pollution and Improve Sanitation
30 Oct
Summary
- Comprehensive proposal submitted to MCG to transform Gurugram's waste management
- Targets 4 major challenges: construction debris, road dust, horticulture waste, and garbage burning
- Calls for digital monitoring, mechanized sweeping, and decentralized composting

On October 30, 2025, the Making Model Gurugram (MMG), under the aegis of Rurban Initiatives, has submitted a comprehensive proposal to the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) aimed at transforming the city's sanitation, waste collection, and monitoring systems.
The framework, detailed in a document titled "A Submission on Waste Management," outlines an action plan to combat four major challenges: construction debris, road dust, horticulture waste, and garbage burning. The report highlights that construction and demolition (C&D) waste has emerged as a critical issue, with over 2,000 tonnes generated daily against the Basai processing plant's 1,500 tonne capacity. The plan proposes establishing designated dumping points and enforcing direct waste collection under MCG supervision.
