Describing urban waste management as an emerging business opportunity, Mr Subhash Ch. Sethi, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, said that SPML has formed a joint venture called Delhi Waste Management Private Ltd (DWMPL) to undertake the project.

Apart from Tetrapeck, a Delhi-based logistics company will pick up stake in DWMPL. SPML will hold majority stake in the company.

As per the contract with the Delhi Government, DWMPL will be responsible for educating the people on waste segregation and drop different kind of wastes in defined bins, which will be cleared round-the-clock in specially designed imported containers and be delivered at the dumping yard for further use.

The initial investment in the project is estimated to be Rs 20 crore generating annual revenue of over Rs 60 crore.
