Ramky Enviro Engineers has surfaced as the lowest bidder for the integrated solid waste management project to maintain the 60 acre fruits and vegetables wholesale market at Koyambedu in Chennai.

The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority invited the bid, for maintaining the fruits and vegetables market, which houses over 3,000 shops. It is a part of the 300 acre Koyambedu Wholesale Market Complex. A final decision on the award of the contract is to be taken after a negotiation meeting later this month.

The company's scope of work will comprise operating a 250 kW power plant, which will use the organic waste from the market to generate power through bio-methanation. The power is likely to be supplied to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board and the revenue will be shared between the contractor and the market management.
