Strategies for Reducing Carbon Footprints in Construction industry.

Image
  A Strategic Perspective for Infrastructure and Real Estate Development in India The construction industry is central to India’s infrastructure expansion and real estate growth, yet it is also one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions. With increasing regulatory attention, ESG expectations, and green finance requirements, reducing the carbon footprint in construction is no longer a sustainability add-on—it is becoming a strategic necessity for infrastructure developers, real estate owners, and engineering consultants. A project’s carbon footprint begins long before operations commence. It includes embodied carbon from materials such as cement and steel, transportation and construction activities, and continues through decades of operational energy use. In Indian infrastructure and real estate projects—where RCC construction dominates—embodied carbon often represents a substantial share of total lifecycle emissions, making early planning and engineering decisions ...

Delhi to Chandigarh: A Journey Through India’s World-Class Highways

Image
  Introduction There are drives that simply get you from point A to point B, and then there are journeys that make you pause, reflect, and feel proud of the progress around you. My recent drive from Delhi to Chandigarh was one such experience — a testament to how far India has come in building infrastructure that rivals the best in the world. Garuda-Inspired Toll Plazas: Blending Culture with Modernity One of the most striking features along the way was the Garuda-inspired toll plaza design . More than just a functional checkpoint, these structures embody India’s ability to merge cultural symbolism with modern engineering. The Garuda, a mythical bird revered in Indian tradition, here becomes a metaphor for speed, protection, and progress — values that resonate deeply with the spirit of our highways. EV Charging Stations: Powering Sustainable Mobility Equally impressive was the presence of EV charging stations strategically placed along the route. This is not just conveni...

Energy Conservation Day: Don’t Wait for Change: Create It

Image
  By   Sushil Bajaj  /   December 14, 2025 Energy Conservation Day: Don’t Wait for Change: Create It Energy Conservation Day is more than a symbolic reminder. It urges us to reflect on how our everyday habits quietly shape long-term realities — economic, environmental, and social . In our pursuit of convenience, energy consumption has become almost invisible. Lights remain on, systems run idle, and inefficiencies are accepted as routine. Yet every wasted unit of energy carries a hidden cost — not only on our balance sheets but on the planet we depend on. Energy conservation is often framed as an environmental concern . In practice, it is equally a matter of sound economics and professional responsibility. Efficient systems , better design, and conscious usage reduce operational costs while improving sustainability outcomes . Awareness must translate into action. Switching off what is unnecessary. Designing smarter buildings and systems. Questioning waste inste...
