Representational.
As India races toward net-zero goals, green buildings are quietly transforming skylines across the country. From energy-efficient offices to water-saving homes, sustainable construction is no longer a niche trend but a growing national movement.

India now ranks third globally in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified spaces, contributing nearly 15% of global LEED space outside the US.

The shift toward eco-friendly real estate is reshaping how real estate projects—including housing, office complexes, educational institutes, airports, IT parks, and hospitals—are being built and occupied.
