Puducherry is all set to roll out a comprehensive Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) project for its urban areas, with a pilot phase commencing on June 1. 

To be executed by Green Warrior Agency, full-scale operations will follow from July 1.

The new initiative marks the end of services rendered by Swachhata Corporation, whose contract concludes on June 30. 

GWA will be responsible for the entire waste management cycle, including door-to-door collection, segregation, transportation, processing, composting, recycling, and biogas generation.

Funded under the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, the Rs 110-crore project includes a Central capital subsidy of Rs 18.76 crore.
