The Delhi government has announced plans to develop India’s first e-waste eco park in Holambi Kalan, with an estimated investment of Rs 150 crore.

The project will be executed by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC). A global tender for the project is in its final preparation stages. Delhi’s Environment and Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that the government is studying successful models from Norway and Hong Kong to ensure the facility meets international environmental standards.

The 11.4-acre park will process over 51,000 metric tonne of e-waste annually and will feature scientific dismantling systems, rare earth and precious metal recovery units, and real-time pollution control infrastructure. It will comply with ISO 9000, EN 50625, CENELEC, CPCB, and MoEFCC standards. A dense canopy of trees will surround the park, reinforcing its eco-friendly design. The facility will also integrate informal e-waste workers into the formal sector through training programs. It is expected to generate over Rs 350 crore in economic output and create thousands of green employment, making it a key sustainability and employment initiative.
