The NCR of Delhi produces around 11.36 tons per day (TPD) of hazardous industrial waste.

The hazardous waste generated is supposed to be channeled to the treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF) at the Bawana industrial area.

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee pinned down 164 vulnerable industrial sites practicing improper waste disposal.

The identified spots dump the waste on vacant grounds and burn it illegally.

The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and the DPCC will undergo weekly monitoring of these sites to prevent any unauthorized dumping of waste.
