Achan integrated solid waste management project moves to tender stage

This opportunity comes from a news article in Rising Kashmir, datelined Srinagar, 28 September. The page is copyrighted 2026. It is not an official tender notice. The article reports that the government has approved an Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) project at Achan in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The estimated cost is Rs 361 crore, and the government says the project is currently at the tendering stage. The article does not name the contracting authority. The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) runs the existing Achan site and the city's waste services.

The planned facility will process about 800 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day. It will include composting facilities, a Bio-CBG plant, Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facility and a scientific sanitary landfill. It will also cover transfer stations, leachate management infrastructure and other ancillary environmental infrastructure. The project runs for 25 years in total, including a 24-month construction period. That points to a long-term build-and-operate arrangement, but the article does not state the contract model.

The article also describes current conditions at the site. SMC handles about 500–550 TPD of municipal waste, has 100 per cent door-to-door collection and about 60 per cent source segregation. It deploys more than 380 vehicles and over 2,700 sanitation workers. At Achan it operates a 100 TPD MRF and an 85 TPD wet-waste processing plant. A separate agency is biomining and bioremediating about 11 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste. A 60 KLD leachate treatment plant is under construction, and a 125 TPD construction and demolition waste facility is being set up under SBM-U 2.0.

The source does not give a tender reference, procedure type, submission or Q&A deadline, submission portal, bid language, eligibility conditions, technical specifications or award criteria. The requirement list below is therefore empty. Bidders should wait for the official tender notice and bid documents, expected on the relevant government e-procurement portal. Those will set out qualification criteria, financial thresholds, experience requirements, the technical scope and the evaluation method.
