Impediments* to efficient Operations by Excel Ind. Ltd. (* on the basis of the information communicated by Excel Ind. Ltd.)
Excel could not accept 500 TPD of
MSW because of
Area Excel Industry 25 Acres
mix nature of MSW.
Low green waste content reduces quality of compost produced.
Cost of Producing Organic Manure is around Rs. 4,200
per MT while Excel could not realize even Rs. 2,250 per MT. Excel
demanded Tipping Fee of Rs. 220 per MT as reimbursement for the cost of segregating MSW which was not accepted by AMC on the basis of MOU.
Additional maintenance/repairing cost
of machineries as rain water from nearby open dump site gushes straight into the plant.
Dump Site 84 Acres
Marketing Related Issues:
Contd …
Organic manure has to compete with heavily subsidized
Chemical Fertilizer, majorly used by farmers. Mix MSW produces low quality compost. Logistic Related Issues: Sale
of organic manure happen only 2 to 3 months in a year against daily supply of MSW which adds to logistics & storage cost to company.
Considering bulk volume & low price realization organic manure has to be sold within 200 KM distance.
Issues from AMC’s Point of View: Agreement between Excel & AMC doesn’t have any clause for Tipping Fees. Successful marketing
of product was onus of Excel & not of AMC. If company close the plant for certain duration, AMC has to bear additional cost / loss of Rs. 150 per MT for further transportation & disposal. AMC can help Excel by providing waste which has mainly contains bio degradable waste.
Initiatives Taken by AMC
Waste, more of a green nature, generated from residential properties is collected in morning hours as a part of Door to Door collection system developed recently. Waste from Vegetable Market, Fish & Meat Market, Slaughter Houses is given straight to the Excel. On certain occasions like Bakri Idd generated waste is also collected in dedicated vehicles & given to Excel. Green Waste from 200 ardens owned b AMC is also delivered to Excel. AMC has supported Excel as a special case by providing Dumpers for transportation of Inert Waste to landfill site for short period of time although it was not a part of agreement.

successfully in bigger cities.
For successful implementation of PPP model specifically for MSW treatment, any Corporation has to create tailor made Win – Win Situation. (As AMC has done by creating HK waste Mgt system & similar other initiatives).

Achievement of AMC in MSW processing Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s solid waste in great demand By Niyati Rana / DNA / Monday, May 10, 2010 10:08 (http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_ahmedabad-municipalcorporation-s-solid-waste-in-great-demand_1381276 ) Going green seems to be the buzzword for the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). Being a major producer of solid waste as also a leader in solid waste disposal practices, the AMC is flooded with climate-friendly proposals from companies across the country to use the city's solid waste to generate power or manufacture fertilisers. Officials at the AMC's solid waste management department say they have never seen offers for setting up plants to generate eco-friendly energy pouring in at such a pace. If the civic body's claims are anything to go by, the solid waste management department receives one offer every month for setting up a plant to either generate energy or to make eco-friendly fertilisers from the city's dumps.

"The latest company to come up with a proposal is Hanjer Bio-tech. Like all the others, they have proposed that the AMC give them land where they would set up a plant for manufacturing fertilisers or generating energy in an environment-friendly way. We receive at least one offer every month of this kind," said IK Patel, deputy . around 2,300 tons of solid waste daily, of which around 600 to 700 tons of waste is construction debris which cannot be used to generate energy or to manufacture fertilisers. He said most companies demand around 300 to 500 tons of waste, depending on their capacities. "If we leave out the construction debris, we are left with 1800 tons of solid waste. And so, we have to be careful to choose the best companies as we have don't have enough to allot to several companies," he said. However, the AMC has made the norms more stringent. The civic body's priority is to check if the company is using the best technology in the plant so that maximum benefit can be availed of. "We have also made it compulsory to deposit Rs50 lakh as bank guarantee, so as to be on the safer side," said Patel.
