BEL Ghaziabad Donates 10 Garbage Tipper Vehicles to UPSIDA under CSR Initiative

Ghaziabad: Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, has donated 10 Ashok Leyland Dost 1500 CC tipper vehicles to the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.

The vehicles will be used for door-to-door collection of industrial garbage from five industrial areas in Ghaziabad district. This initiative aims to keep the industrial zones cleaner, free roads of garbage, and support better sanitation in the region.

Flag-Off Ceremony

The vehicles were formally flagged off on 7 September 2026 at BEL’s Sahibabad Site-IV premises. The ceremony was led by:

• Shri Ambrish Tripathi, Director (Human Resources), BEL

• Shri Balkar Singh (IAS), CEO, UPSIDA

Also present were Smt. Rashmi Kathuria, Executive Director & Unit Head, BEL Ghaziabad, and Shri Rajeev Tyagi, Principal General Manager, UPSIDA, along with other senior officials from both organisations.

Impact of the Initiative

With these tippers, industries in Ghaziabad will now receive regular door-to-door garbage collection services managed by UPSIDA. The project aligns with the objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission and reflects the shared commitment of BEL and UPSIDA towards improved health, hygiene and environmental cleanliness in the industrial areas of Ghaziabad.
