The Impressive TimesNew Delhi– PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh conducted an inspection of the Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste Processing Plant at Bakkarwala. The facility plays a vital role in transforming debris from construction and demolition activities into eco-friendly products such as bricks, tiles, and paver blocks — marking a significant step toward sustainable urban development.
Officials briefed the Minister on the plant’s technology, daily capacity, and the utilization of recycled output in various infrastructure projects. Parvesh Sahib Singh took stock of the operations and interacted with engineers and staff to understand the end-to-end process of how raw debris is turned into usable construction materials.
He highlighted how such efforts directly reflect the broader national vision of a “Waste to Wealth” model and the principles of a Circular Economy — both being championed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the vision of ‘Waste to Wealth’ and a circular economy is becoming a ground reality. The Bakkarwala plant is a living example of how construction debris can be turned into valuable resources. Our aim is to establish similar plants across Delhi, so that the city becomes cleaner while also reducing the cost and environmental impact of construction.”

He also directed officials to identify other high-waste zones across Delhi for setting up similar C&D waste processing units. The Minister stressed the need for coordination between municipal bodies, private developers, and public departments to ensure systematic collection, segregation, and reuse of construction waste.
Parvesh Sahib Singh encouraged the increased use of recycled construction materials in both public infrastructure and private real estate projects, emphasizing that such innovations are essential for building a modern, self-reliant, and sustainable Delhi.
