In sanitation and cleanliness, GHMC secured the 6th rank in the national Swachh Survekshan rankings, released in July 2025. The city also achieved a 7 star Garbage Free City rating along with Water+ ODF re certification. These recognitions reflect sustained efforts in waste management, sanitation infrastructure, and public awareness.

To strengthen waste processing, GHMC commissioned a 24 MW Waste to Energy plant and a 1000 tonnes per day manufacturing plant at Jawaharnagar. With these additions, the city now has a total waste processing capacity of 10,000 TPD, helping reduce landfill dependency and improve sustainable waste disposal.
