	About Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation

Hyderabad is the capital to the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. As the largest city in A.P. it occupies about six hundred and fifty square kilometers on the banks of the Musi River. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is the government organization trusted with the responsibility of providing basic civic services like roads, water supply & sewerage, health & sanitation, storm water and solid waste disposal etc. to the entire city.

Before the GHMC, the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) was the entity that serviced Hyderabad & Secunderabad. The MCH was formed under the 1955 Act of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. Later in the year 2007, the MCH was merged with twelve other municipalities (from the Ranga Reddy and Medak districts) to form the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

The expansion of city limits and formation of GHMC was to ensure equal development of the surrounding areas, endowing them with the same facilities enjoyed by citizens living within the core of the city.

GHMC to HIMSW Ltd.

In a bid to meet the guidelines set out in Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 2000, the directives of the Honorable Supreme Court and to upgrade the sanitary conditions of our city to an international standard, the GHMC decided to develop an Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Project. To assess the talent and deliver the project to a private operator the GHMC conducted a stringent two stage bidding process. After the bidding process the GHMC awarded the project to Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL).
