Plastic waste to be converted into automotive fuel in Ayodhya
Ayodhya has signed an agreement with MK Aromatics Limited to convert plastic waste into automotive fuel. The plant in Ayodhya will be north India’s largest, with a capacity of 20 tonnes per day.

The waste will be converted to crude oil and then into automotive grade diesel, which will be sold at subsidised rates to industries and farmers. The project will also create employment opportunities for marginalized individuals, particularly women, in the society.
