Maharashtra will use an estimated 6.17 crore metric tonnes of fly ash from thermal power plants for three proposed expressways and a mineral transportation corridor in eastern Maharashtra under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Mahagenco and the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC).

The agreement was signed in the presence of Minister of State for Energy Meghna Sakore-Bordikar. It aims to promote the sustainable use of fly ash while supporting infrastructure development and reducing the environmental risks associated with its long-term storage.
