Navi Mumbai buildings to get cash for being eco - friendly

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) waste segregation & composting, rainwater harvesting and solar power generation. The motivation for NMMC is to improve its ranking in the 2019 Swachh Surveskshan survey conducted to rank India's cities on various sanitation and cleanliness parameters. The annual incentives will range from Rs 10,000 to 25,000 per category for two years, beginning from January 2019. The plan has been chalked out to involve housing societies in clean and green city drive by encouraging them to adopt environment - friendly measures.

NMMC, ranked first in the country last year for solid waste management, is gearing up to turn the city into a zero - garbage area before the next survey. Its aim is to boost its 85% waste segregation record to 100%.
