Kochi Corporation, BPCL-KR at odds over Brahmapuram CBG plant performance
The Kochi Corporation and BPCL-KR are in a dispute over the performance of the Brahmapuram Compressed Biogas plant. The Corporation cites operational shutdowns, while the operator blames poor waste segregation by the city.
Why it matters
Waste management infrastructure is a critical urban challenge, and this dispute highlights the complexities of public-private partnerships in municipal services.
The functioning of the 150-tonne Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant at Brahmapuram remains a bone of contention between the Kochi Corporation and BPCL-KR, the plant operator, more than seven months after it was commissioned.
The Kochi Corporation complains that frequent shutdowns disrupt waste disposal and that the plant is still far from achieving its optimum capacity. BPCL-KR, on its part, blames the poor quality of waste supplied by the Corporation for the recurring breakdowns and the plant’s inability to reach its designed capacity.
