After decades of environmental violations, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is finally bringing change to the Gaddigodam Slaughterhouse with a cutting-edge 25 KLD Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP).
In operation since 1951, the slaughterhouse has long been a hub for meat processing—and controversy. Operating without valid licenses or pollution control clearances, the facility has discharged untreated waste into nearby water sources, causing foul smells, soil contamination, and serious health risks.
A 2017 crackdown exposed just how bad things were—over 150 illegally kept cattle and 3 tonnes of suspected beef were found. While daily slaughter numbers are unclear, the state’s meat industry processes millions of animals annually, and facilities like Gaddigodam are key players.
Now, NMC is turning the page. The upcoming ETP will use DAF systems, MBBR tech, oil traps, ultrafiltration, and ozonation units to treat waste to eco-safe standards. It’s not just a plant—it’s a pollution solution.
Along with five years of maintenance and staff training, the project aims to flip Gaddigodam from a civic embarrassment to a national model for responsible waste treatment.
Clean water, clean conscience—Nagpur is raising the bar.
