A sum of Rs 9.5 crore will be spent in the entire exercise by the Agra Development Authority (ADA). Talking to TOI, ADA secretary Rajesh Kumar Srivastav said, "At Tajganj electric crematorium two additional furnaces will be installed at a cost of Rs 3.5 crore. Beautification and landscaping of the area will also be done.

At Moksha Dham, which is located at just few hundred meters, the wet scrubber technique would be employed to reduce carbon pollution. It is one of the most effective techniques to reduce pollution level. Under the wet scrubber system, smoke from pyres will be passed through a water channel which in turn will reduce emission of carbon particles, supposedly one of the main causes for turning the 17th century white marble monument yellow. A sum of Rs 5.8 crore would be spent, he added.

The official informed that the department plan to complete both the works by the end of this year. The services at the electric crematorium would be provided free of cost to people.

In April, 2016, the Supreme Court had directed to the Agra Development Authority to submit its final report on the action plan to reduce air pollution due to burning of bodies at MokshDham (crematorium) near the Taj Mahal.

SC judge Kurian Joseph, during a personal visit to Agra, had noticed the burning pyres at the ghat. In a letter dated October 1, 2015 to Chief Justice HL Dattu, he had sought the intervention of the SC, pointing to the threat to the Taj from the continuous burning of pyres.

On November 16, 2015, a bench of justices TS Thakur and C Nagappan had given three weeks' time to the Central Environment Committee (CEC) to suggest an alternate space for the crematorium near Taj Mahal. At least 25 pyres are burnt here each day, and the ashes rising from these have been damaging the Taj, studies have found.

Later in December, the court deferred the shifting of the cremation ground and asked the authorities to look into ways of reducing carbon emission from burning of pyres as well as beautifying the place.
