MNRE has promoted the national programme for the recovery of energy from industrial and urban wastes. Since this programme seeks to promote setting up of waste-to-energy plants, various financial incentives and other eligibility criteria have been proposed by the MNRE to encourage the participation in waste-to-energy projects.

These are listed below:

• Financial assistance is provided by way of interest subsidy for commercial projects
• Financial assistance is provided on the capital cost for demonstration projects that are innovative in terms of generation of power from municipal/ industrial wastes
• Financial assistance is provided for power generation in STPs
• Financial incentives are given to municipal corporations for supplying garbage free of cost at the project site and for providing land
• Incentives are given to the state nodal agencies for promotion, co-ordination and monitoring of such projects
• Financial assistance is given for carrying out studies on waste to energy projects, covering full costs of such studies
• Assistance is given in terms of training courses, workshops and seminars and awareness generation
