Potential cancellation of ₹36,000 crore tender for solid waste management in Bengaluru

There are reports that the massive tender, originally allocated to Ramky Group from Hyderabad for comprehensive solid waste management in the Greater Bengaluru Area (GBA), may be cancelled. This tender, called by BSWML, was valued at approximately ₹36,000 crore for 30 years, covering waste collection, management, and power generation from homes. Despite allegations of ₹10,000 crore irregularities, the government formed a committee led by Chief Secretary Anjung Parvez, which reported no irregularities or malpractice in the tender process. However, the GBA is considering cancelling the tender and calling for a re-tender soon, to avoid any future embarrassment or damage to the government.
