From net-zero buildings and green-certified projects to the integration of renewable energy, the industry is witnessing a steady shift towards climate-resilient infrastructure. Several developers are embedding sustainability into the core of their design and construction practices—balancing profit with purpose.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs’ push for Green Urban Mobility and smart city upgrades is further reinforcing the need for eco-conscious urban development. Real estate’s response includes solar rooftops, rainwater harvesting, green walls, waste recycling, and EV charging infrastructure becoming standard in premium and mid-segment offerings alike.
Mr. Robin Mangla, President, M3M India highlighted, the real estate industry is uniquely positioned to lead India’s green transition. At M3M India, we view sustainability not just as an add-on, but as an operational imperative. From using energy-efficient materials to integrating EV infrastructure and water conservation systems, our projects are designed for a low-carbon future. As one of the fastest-growing sectors, real estate must take responsibility for building smarter, greener urban ecosystems.
Developers are also increasingly influenced by investor preferences and buyer demand for energy-efficient homes. With ESG metrics becoming critical for funding, green buildings are no longer a luxury but a necessity.
The concept of biophilic design—integrating nature into architectural plans—is gaining ground, particularly in luxury and holiday homes, offering both wellness and environmental advantages.
Mr. Aman Sharma, Managing Director and Founder of Aarize Group highlighted, As the real estate landscape evolves, integrating sustainability into core development practices is no longer optional. At Aarize, we focus on future-ready spaces that minimize environmental impact while enhancing livability. Whether it’s green-certified buildings, rainwater harvesting, or landscape-driven planning, we aim to create projects that balance growth with environmental responsibility. The industry must now move from intent to impactful action.”
Experts believe that with the right regulatory support, tax incentives, and access to green finance, the real estate sector can accelerate the shift to climate-aligned growth. Moreover, emerging technologies like AI-led energy optimization, smart water systems, and carbon-conscious materials are making green construction more efficient and affordable.
While the journey to sustainability is ongoing, World Environment Day 2025 serves as a critical reminder: the real estate sector has both the responsibility and opportunity to anchor India’s environmental future.
Aman Trehan, Executive Director, Trehan Iris, said, “As World Environment Day 2025 approaches, we are reminded of our profound responsibility to lead the transition toward a more sustainable built environment. At Trehan Iris, we view green design not as a trend but as an enduring commitment to the planet and future generations. Moreover, our developments are rooted in principles of ecological balance, energy efficiency, and resource conservation. From incorporating renewable energy systems and water-sensitive landscaping to using low-impact construction materials, our goal is to reduce environmental footprints while enhancing occupant well-being. Additionally, long-term ecological planning is central to our vision, ensuring our projects not only coexist with nature but actively contribute to its restoration. We believe the real estate sector must serve as a catalyst for environmental stewardship. This World Environment Day, we stand united with global efforts to promote greener, smarter, and more resilient communities.
