Wasteful Power to Powerful Waste - Wipro Leading by example

February 2011, Mangalore City Corporation will become the first urban local body in Karnataka to have a biogas generating plant running on the `Nisargaruna' technology of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). Work on the 2-tonne capacity plant at Urwa market started on December 28 and is scheduled for completion in 60-days. The plant would start generating 200 units of power each day shortly thereafter.



Executing the biogas project for MCC is Wipro Eco Energy arm of IT giants Wipro Limited. Wipro Eco Energy has already built such plants at its Sarjapur campus, at the Taj Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram, and one each at Sriperambadur and Noida. Wipro Eco Energy as per the contractual agreement will also maintain this plant and the power-generating unit for the next two years before it hands over the same to the civic body.
