लैंडफिल बंद करने की परियोजनाओं में लागत अधिक होना (Landfill Closure Project Cost Overruns)
Definition
Large-scale landfill closure projects (Okhla, Bhalswa, Mulund, Deonar) require phased waste excavation, sorting, composting, RDF production, and land reclamation. Scope uncertainty, material segregation complexity, commodity price volatility, and manual project tracking lead to budget deviations. The ₹776 Crore remediation project has prolonged timelines due to execution gaps.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Per project: ₹50-120 Crore overruns on ₹500-800 Cr closure projects (15-25% escalation); Aggregated: ₹500-1,000 Crore annually across India's 50+ major remediation projects due to cost slippage, material price volatility, and timeline extensions.
- Frequency: Ongoing; every landfill closure project in India faces 15-30 month timeline extensions
- Root Cause: Manual project tracking, inadequate waste characterization studies, volatile recovered commodity prices (compost, RDF), equipment breakdown delays, subcontractor performance gaps, weak real-time cost monitoring.
