CM Rekha Gupta Inaugurates ₹16 Crore Biogas Plant at Goyla Dairy; 200 Metric Tonnes of Cow Dung to Be Processed Daily to Protect Yamuna

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta on Monday inaugurated a biogas plant with a capacity to process 200 metric tonnes of cow dung daily at Goyla Dairy, Najafgarh, built at a cost of ₹16 crore by MCD — generating around 14,000 cubic metres of raw biogas and approximately 5.6 tonnes of purified compressed biogas daily to be supplied to Indraprastha Gas Limited through a pipeline, with biogas slurry used as organic fertiliser. CM Rekha Gupta said previous governments left the problem of cow dung management unresolved for years, with no biogas plant set up in Delhi. The present government has made three plants operational in 18 months with six more underway. The Nangli Sakrawati plant alone used 55,000 tonnes of cow dung in one year, paying farmers ₹3.5 crore. Livestock owners at Goyla Dairy will receive 67 paise per kilogram for cow dung collected — turning a disposal burden into an economic opportunity. ₹50 crore has also been allocated to construct drains and improve drainage in Delhi’s dairy colonies. The Chief Minister said tackling pollution at its source is essential to cleaning the Yamuna — with cow dung flowing into drains and reaching the river being a key contributor to its pollution. Cabinet Minister Ashish Sood said previous governments shifted dairies but failed to ensure scientific cow dung disposal, while the present government under CM Rekha Gupta is delivering concrete action and results in line with PM Modi’s ‘Waste to Wealth’ vision.

Delhi Cabinet Approves Go-Delhi Foundation with ₹50 Crore Commitment to Empower Startups, Young Innovators and MSMEs

The Delhi Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, approved the establishment of the Go-Delhi Foundation with an initial budget of ₹50 crore a not-for-profit company under Section 8 of the Companies Act functioning under the Department of Industries to provide Delhi’s startups, researchers, students and MSMEs with integrated support from idea to market-ready product. The foundation will give entrepreneurs access to product engineering, prototyping, laboratories, testing facilities, technical guidance, mentorship, incubation, certification support and investor connections reducing dependence on scattered facilities and creating a single platform for Delhi’s nearly 21,000 DPIIT-recognised startups. Students and researchers will receive support for intellectual property rights, prototyping and industry connections to bring innovations out of laboratories and into commercial use. CM Rekha Gupta said government departments will also be able to bring real-world challenges to Delhi’s innovators through the foundation, with successful pilot solutions taken forward for adoption strengthening collaboration among government, industry, educational institutions and innovators. The hub-and-spoke model will leverage existing infrastructure across Delhi to expand the reach of innovation and entrepreneurship support citywide.

CM Rekha Gupta Inaugurates FCTS Plant in Sarita Vihar; Launches 1,000 Mechanical Litter Pickers and Appoints 35 Women Drivers for Waste Collection Vehicles

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta inaugurated a Fixed Compactor Transfer Station plant in M Block, Sarita Vihar, flagged off new door-to-door waste collection vehicles operated by 35 newly appointed women drivers, and launched an initiative to deploy 1,000 mechanical litter pickers across all 250 MCD wards — with 50 machines flagged off in the first phase. CM Rekha Gupta said only 6,000-7,000 metric tonnes of Delhi’s daily 15,000 metric tonnes of waste was being processed earlier, causing garbage mountains to grow. The government is now setting up new waste-to-energy plants, increasing existing plant capacity, establishing e-waste centres and installing biogas plants for cow dung management. For the South-East Zone alone, 428 auto-tippers, 128 e-rickshaws, 27 refuse compactors, 30 hook loaders and 1,500 steel dustbins have been approved alongside 100 mechanical sweeping machines. The Chief Minister also urged residents to deposit old clothes at ‘Arpan’ centres near Metro stations and announced immersion kiosks in all 250 wards for separate collection of broken idols and puja materials — with around 100 already established. Mayor Pravesh Wahi reaffirmed MCD’s commitment to making solid waste management more effective, regular and accountable, calling citizen participation essential to a garbage-free Delhi.
