**Mysuru, March 20, 2025** – The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has unveiled its budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year, placing a strong emphasis on improving waste management infrastructure. The plan includes several key projects aimed at addressing the city’s daily waste generation of 535 tonnes.
A major initiative is the establishment of a waste-to-energy plant, to be implemented by Bharath Petroleum Corporation Ltd. This project, along with three new waste transfer stations to expedite waste transport, will receive funding from the state government, Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0, and the MCC, totaling ₹990 lakh.
Further improvements include the construction of a material recovery facility at Rayankere and Kesare waste treatment plants to enhance recycling efforts, and the procurement of windrow turners for composting. A new construction and demolition (C&D) waste facility, costing ₹16.66 crore, is also planned to recycle the city’s daily 100-150 tonnes of C&D waste.
To improve the city’s underground drainage (UGD) system, the MCC will invest in mechanized solutions, including two super sucker machines, seven jetting machines, and 16 desilting machines to address clogged drains. These projects highlight the MCC’s commitment to a cleaner and more efficient Mysuru.
