High Court Directs Kochi Corporation to Biomine Additional Waste
What happened
The High Court issued directions requiring the Kochi Corporation to include an additional 1.26 lakh tonnes of scientifically capped legacy waste in its biomining process. This directive follows a judicial visit to the Brahmapuram waste treatment plant. The Corporation had previously planned to biomine 1.96 lakh tonnes at a negotiated rate of ₹1,672 per metric tonne.

Why it matters
The directive increases the volume of waste the Kochi Corporation must process, potentially requiring a recalculation of the project's costs. This adds to the financial burden on the civic body, which operates within Kerala.
