The Tehkhand Waste to Energy Plant in Delhi was operationalised in January 2023. The 25 MW plant is designed to handle 2,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day.
It is located near the Tehkhand Depot on Maa Anandmai Marg, in the Tughlaqabad area of South Delhi. The facility was established as a joint initiative by JITF Urban Infrastructure Limited (JUIL) and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). 
Key features and context:

• Expansion plans: As of September 2025, there are plans for a ₹900 crore expansion to increase the plant's capacity by another 20 MW, for a total of 45 MW.
• Environmental monitoring: A report filed in the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal in August 2025 found that Delhi's four waste-to-energy plants, including the one at Tehkhand, were largely compliant with regulatory norms and posed minimal risk to public health and the environment.
• Environmental concerns: During the plant's initial setup, residents of nearby areas raised concerns about potential air pollution and noise. The expansion also faced opposition from local residents, though their earlier appeals were reportedly pending in court.
• Waste management context: Delhi generates a large amount of municipal solid waste, and the city has turned to waste-to-energy plants as a solution to reduce pressure on overflowing landfills.
