The agreement was signed on January 27, 2026, on the sidelines of India Energy Week (IEW) 2026 in Goa, with Energetica India providing exclusive coverage.
Under the agreement, IONA Engineering will design, supply, install, commission, and own the WTE facility, while SAAFE will supply 25-35 TPD of waste single-use plastic as feedstock. The power supply arrangement will be valid for 15 years from the commercial operation date, with tariff escalation built into the contract.
The estimated capital investment for the WTE plant is around EUR 1 million, excluding installation, erection, freight, insurance, customs duties, and inland logistics costs. Post recovery of capital investment or six years from commissioning, whichever is earlier, net EBITDA from the WTE facility will be shared equally between the parties, as per the agreement.
The partnership also includes consultancy services for a 300 TPD biogas plant with pre-processing and anaerobic digestion systems. IONA shall provide engineering and technical consultancy services limited to upstream biogas system design, while downstream gas upgrading, bottling, civil works, and statutory approvals are excluded from its scope.
Additionally, BHS-Sonthofen India and Armatec-FTS have been roped in as technology partners for the CBG plant, with BHS handling waste pretreatment and Armatec providing agitation and pumping technology.
The agreement will be governed by Indian law, with dispute resolution through arbitration in Bengaluru, and will remain valid until all financial and operational obligations are fulfilled, it said.
