Public utilities

Public utilities in Namchi are managed by various departments of the Government of Sikkim, with recent upgrades driven by the Smart City Mission:

* **Electricity**: Power is supplied by the **Energy and Power Department, Government of Sikkim**. Namchi benefits from Sikkim's hydroelectric power generation, ensuring a relatively stable and green energy supply. Smart metering projects are being implemented. * **Water**: Water supply is managed by the **Water Security and Public Health Engineering Department (WSPHED)**. As part of the Smart City project, Namchi is undergoing upgrades to its water distribution network to ensure a 24/7 pressurized water supply and reduced wastage. * **Gas**: Piped natural gas is not available. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) cylinders are the standard for cooking and are distributed by local agencies supplied by national oil companies (e.g., Indane, HP). * **Waste Management**: The **Namchi Municipal Council** oversees solid waste management. Namchi has been recognized for its cleanliness and is implementing modern waste processing facilities, segregation at source, and zero-waste initiatives.
