Kochi Corporation not to bear legacy waste biomining expenses Updated: Updated: Civic body cannot spare ₹54 crore quoted by the consortium for the project, says Mayor Share Article Civic body cannot spare ₹54 crore quoted by the consortium for the project, says Mayor UDF councillors in the Kochi Corporation raised issues about the consortium that qualified in the technical bid for biomining of legacy waste at Brahmapuram, saying that the cost quoted was too high for the civic agency to pay, and that the consortium did not have the necessary experience to take up biomining. Mayor M. Anilkumar agreed that the civic body does not have the funds to shell out ₹54 crore for biomining, the financial bid submitted by the consortium that won the technical bid. The corporation has only handed over the task of quantifying the waste to NIT-Kozhikode, he said.
