Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) commissioned a 25,000 liters per day (25 KLD) Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at the India International Centre (IIC) Annexe, funded under IREDA’s CSR initiative to promote sustainable urban infrastructure.
The STP was inaugurated by Dr. Bijay Kumar Mohanty, Director (Finance), IREDA, and Shyam Saran, President of IIC and Former Foreign Secretary of India, to modernize IIC’s facilities and enable greener operations. The plant will generate electricity from sludge produced by biodegradable waste from toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens. It is also designed to recycle wastewater for horticulture and industrial use, while reducing foul discharge.
Dr. Mohanty highlighted that such sustainable practices are crucial for achieving India’s climate goals and commended IIC for pioneering the reuse of sewage waste for green energy. Senior officials from IREDA and IIC, including K.N. Shrivastava, Director of IIC, were present at the occasion.
In his message, Pradip Kumar Das, CMD, IREDA, stated that IREDA’s CSR interventions focus on impactful projects like the STP, which integrate community welfare with green innovation. He emphasized that such initiatives not only enhance environmental sustainability but also serve as benchmarks for others to follow.
