Ramky Infrastructure Wins FICCI Smart Urban Innovation Award 2024

Ramky Infrastructure Limited (Ramky) has received the FICCI Smart Urban Innovation Award 2024 in the "Sustainable Cities" category. The award recognizes their efforts in treating and disposing of legacy leachate in Jawahar Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana.

Presented during the 5th Smart Urban Innovation Awards and the 7th FICCI Cities Summit, the award highlights innovative urban infrastructure solutions. Ramky was one of 10 organizations honored from a record 98 entries, underscoring their contribution to India's smart cities mission.

Legacy leachate, a toxic by-product of waste decomposition, poses a serious environmental threat by contaminating nearby water bodies as well as groundwater. Ramky’s innovative solution involved a 2,000 KLD leachate treatment plant, designed to address this issue. This project also included the restoration and stabilization of ponds located near the waste management facility. Notably, the project addressed a significant challenge, with the initial estimated volume of legacy leachate in Hyderabad exceeding 849,780.88 Kilolitres (KL).

"We are honoured to receive the Smart Urban Innovation Award 2024 under the Sustainable Cities category," said Y.R. Nagaraja, Managing Director, Ramky Infrastructure Limited. "This recognition reflects Ramky’s unwavering commitment to providing urban solutions that pave the way for a sustainable future for our cities. The Hyderabad leachate treatment plant the first of its kind in the country is a testament to this commitment, setting an industry benchmark for future projects. We remain dedicated to developing and delivering infrastructure solutions that contribute to a cleaner and healthier tomorrow for present and future generations."
