All the solid waste will be utilised for road construction by the end of 2027, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said.

Addressing the 120th Annual Session of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) on Thursday, the Union Minister stated that 80 lakh tons of waste have already been segregated for road construction.

He said, “No material is waste and no person is waste. Depending on the appropriate technology and leadership vision, you can convert waste into wealth. We have decided that before 2027 ends, whatever garbage is there, which is solid waste, we are going to use it in road construction.”

“Delhi have four such mountains; it does not look good. We have segregated 80 lakh ton of waste and used it in road construction,” Gadkari added
