Navayuga to Clear Mumbai's Deonar Dump for Rs 2,540 Crore
A company called Navayuga will clean up a big trash pile in Mumbai.
The city government is paying them about 2,540 crore rupees to do it.
They will use a special process to remove the trash, and they have to do it in three years.
It is a difficult job because they need many trucks and they cannot work during the rainy season.
Plus, they need to get permission from the government.
Navayuga Engineering Company Limited (NECL) will clear the Deonar dumping ground in Mumbai.
The BMC awarded the project at 7.29% above the estimated cost, totaling Rs 2,540 crore.
The project aims to clear 110 hectares of the 311-acre Deonar landfill using bio-remediation.
NECL, along with other firms, submitted quotations above the BMC's estimated price.
The project faces logistical and environmental challenges, including monsoon seasons and securing permissions.
