Source: Industry survey, IMaCS Analysis
Assumptions: All projects have been assumed as double liner landfills
This market is growing at around 6%-7% per annum as per Industry experts since Municipal spends
on engineered landfills have been much behind schedule.
We can also estimate the total potential for Landfill applications by arriving at the total area required
for waste management. As per data from a CPCB study (2006) covering 59 Urban Agglomerations
(Metros/major cities/state capitals, UTs), India cumulatively generated around 14 million MT of
waste. Likewise, an estimated 8 million MT Hazardous waste is also generated by Industrial units. We
have accordingly estimated the area required for the same and assuming an average per unit area
technical textile component cost of a landfill, arrived at the total potential usage to be achieved over
the next 5 years:
Annual Landfill Area Avg Cost of Value (Rs Volume (Million
Category Waste (MT) (Sq KM) TT (Rs.Sq M) Crore) Sq M)
Municipal Waste 14 Mn 14.2 340 482.8 28.4
Hazardous Waste 8 Mn 4.2 340 142.8 8.4
Note:
1. Engineered Landfills are assumed tohave a height of 15 m, for estimating average landfill area.
2. Life of landfill is estimated at 20 years, post which it would have to be capped.
3. Average Cost/Sq M assumes use of double liner - non-woven, HDPE liner and geocomposites as
discussed in previous section. This however may vary from site to site depending on engineering
specifications, topography
We estimate this to be potential to be realized over the next five years as greater municipal spends on
landfills drives growth. The market size is accordingly expected to reach Rs 160 Crore by 2012-2013.
Category
2012-2013
(Rs Crore)
Municipal Waste 123.48
Hazardous Waste 36.52
We have not taken into account other potential application areas such as landscaping (Golf courses,
Ponds etc), Mine rehabilitation, Tunnel linings etc since these applications do not represent
predictable, recurring usage currently.
