GURUGRAM: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram outlined a new household waste-collection rollout at a review on Monday, October 26, 2026, with the first 100 vehicles planned for deployment from October 28. The arrangement affects households using municipal door-to-door collection and was reviewed at the PWD Rest House on Railway Road in Civil Lines.
The official Haryana release, posted at 9:22 pm IST on October 26, says two contractors have been assigned the work under a five-year arrangement with provision for a two-year extension. It gives October 28 as the planned starting date, without specifying a launch time or the first sectors to receive the vehicles.
Two contractors and a phased start
Delhi MSW Solutions Limited has been assigned cluster 1, while BVG India Limited has responsibility for cluster 2. Across the two clusters, the release lists a total provision of 875 vehicles: 675 light commercial vehicles, 184 collection rickshaws and 16 compactors.
The first phase accounts for 100 of those vehicles. The announcement does not say that the entire fleet will be working from October 28. That distinction matters for residents waiting for a change on their own collection route: the release confirms a phased deployment plan but provides no ward-by-ward timetable.
Until the long-term arrangement begins, the corporation says it is using 591 vehicles under an interim system across eight zones. The release does not explain whether individual interim routes will switch contractors together or in stages. It also does not give a completion date for deploying the full fleet.
| Item | Official position |
|---|---|
| Planned first deployment | October 28, 2026 |
| Initial phase | 100 vehicles |
| Full fleet provision | 875 vehicles across two clusters |
| Contract period | Five years, with a two-year extension provision |
| Interim collection | 591 vehicles across eight zones |
Other sanitation resources recorded at the review include 1,673 workers, 47 tractor-trolleys and six excavation machines for manual sweeping, drain cleaning and removal of overgrown vegetation. The corporation also reported 25 mechanical sweeping machines. Those resources were listed separately from the household collection fleet.
What the Bandhwari figures show
The meeting also reviewed accumulated waste at Bandhwari. Officials reported that, as of October 20, the site had received a cumulative 58.50 lakh metric tonnes, of which 42.95 lakh metric tonnes had been processed. The reported remaining quantity was 15.55 lakh metric tonnes.
These are figures presented at the October 26 review with an October 20 cutoff. They should not be read as a measurement of the landfill on October 28. The release gives no later stock assessment or fresh completion date for clearing the balance.
The review recorded contracts worth Rs 151.20 crore for processing 16.80 lakh metric tonnes. It also recorded a separate proposal worth Rs 61.71 crore for 8.50 lakh metric tonnes that had been sent for approval. The proposal remains distinct from the contracts already described as awarded.
The release does not reconcile those contracted and proposed quantities with the reported remaining stock. It therefore does not establish that adding the two processing quantities would represent the amount currently lying at Bandhwari.
What residents can check next
Residents can look for the corporation's subsequent route and deployment information on the MCG website. The October 26 announcement gives no new household collection charge, collection-hour schedule or sector-level contact for the rollout. Those details cannot be inferred from the fleet total.
The review was chaired by Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh and attended by municipal commissioner Pradeep Dahiya and other senior civic officials. The district administration's official location listing identifies the PWD Rest House as being on Railway Road in Civil Lines.
