“We will continue eliminating open landfills to manage all kinds of waste being produced in Bharat through ‘Waste to Wealth Mission’.”
Under Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 (outlay about Rs 1,41,600 crore), India is remediating legacy dumpsites via bio-mining and bio-remediation: of roughly 2,492 lakh tonnes of accumulated legacy waste, about 1,437 lakh tonnes (around 58 per cent) had been remediated, reclaiming over 7,646 acres of land, alongside expanded scientific solid-waste processing and waste-to-wealth (composting, biogas, waste-to-energy) initiatives. Strong progress has been made, but the original 2026 target to clear all legacy landfills is at risk (with thousands of dumpsites still active and fresh waste generation continuing), so the open-landfill-free goal is not yet achieved. Partial (strong action).
Government reports ~58% of legacy waste (1,437 of 2,492 lakh tonnes) remediated under SBM-U 2.0, reclaiming 7,646+ acres of land.
