Outstanding projects that have demonstrated leadership in their own typologies are recognized and felicitated during IGBC’s flagship event Green Building Congress.

We have already undertaken various energy efficiency & energy saving measures in Lucknow Metro like 100% LED lighting at station premises & inside trains, regenerative braking in Metro trains, etc. At Metro Depot (Transport Nagar) we have intensive facility of waste management & rain water harvesting. We will continue our efforts for environment sustainability in Kanpur & Agra Metro projects as well.”
