The Delhi Division of Northern Railway is planning to set up a waste-to-energy plant, that will turn the garbage and other waste collected at the station into electricity and manure. Waste generated at the New Delhi railway station will be segregated into bio-degradable and recyclable waste. Biodegradable waste will be converted into electrical energy and manure. Electrical energy will be utilised by the Railways. The municipal solid waste (MSW) handling capacity of the plant at New Delhi will be 15 tonnes per day. As of February 2016, The Railway Board has nominated RITES as the nodal agency for tendering for the waste-to-energy plant.
