| Project Title : | Veolia to add waste treatment capacity by 2030, plans expansion in India |
| Company Name : | Private Company |
| Project Detail : | Veolia, a global leader in end-to-end hazardous waste solutions, has announced plans to add 5,30,000 tonne of new hazardous waste treatment capacity annually by 2030, addressing the growing global demand and critical capacity shortages. The French multinational corporation (MNC) emphasised its intent to expand operations in India, particularly in hazardous waste management. Veolia specialises in the treatment of industrial hazardous waste, including solvents, factory wastewater, batteries, fly ashes, heavy-metal-contaminated soils, and "forever chemicals" such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Commenting on the strategic move, CEO Estelle Brachlianoff stated, "Hazardous waste treatment is becoming a strategic bottleneck for many industries, especially those undergoing transformation or reshoring production. It's also an essential topic for human health and ensuring environmental security." In India, Veolia is currently active in both water and hazardous waste segments. The company has a strong presence in Gujarat, managing industrial hazardous waste, and is looking to further expand its footprint there. It also operates water supply systems in Nagpur and wastewater treatment plants near Delhi. |
