Closed garbage dump to generate power

Mumbai's civic body has come up with a plan to generate nearly 4 MW of power from a closed garbage dump, even while the open surface is turned into a nine-hole golf course.

Apart from doing its bit to improve Mumbai's power supply, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will also earn more than Rs 60 crore over ten years by way of carbon credits, according to civic officials.
