Budget 2025: The government should also enable funds to encourage industries to invest in low-emission technologies and processes.

The real estate industry is successfully implementing sustainable practices and welcoming transformative reforms from the forefront. As natural and man-made disasters threaten the economy, population, and long-term sustainable development worldwide, businesses are increasingly finding it imperative to develop forward-looking strategies, causing the ESG aspect to evolve from a peripheral balance sheet issue to a critical component of real estate.
The journey toward net zero demands more than ambition; it requires strategic planning, innovative policies, and sectoral integration to bridge gaps and accelerate progress.
Real Estate Perspective
Sustainability is no longer an optional add-on but an integral component of real estate ecosytem. It encompasses a range of practices designed to reduce environmental impact, conserve resources, and enhance the quality of life for occupants.
India intends to become a carbon-neutral economy by the year 2070. To achieve this target, the government can provide incentives such as subsidies and tax exemptions on the use of green construction materials such as fly ash bricks, precast concrete slabs, reclaimed plastic, reclaimed steel and other innovative materials. The government should also enable funds to encourage industries to invest in low-emission technologies and processes.
To leapfrog solar installation in the country and reach the 2030 Solar Mission Target, the government needs to introduce tax incentives to corporations that install solar panel facilities and other taxpayers who install solar rooftop power systems. The budget should create a roadmap for sustainable growth in the logistics sector and incentivize logistics players to adopt sustainable practices such as allocating incentives for LEED-certified warehouses and reducing tax for green fleets in the supply chain.
The 2025 Union Budget is more than just a policy document; it is a blueprint for India’s sustainable future. India can fast-track its journey toward a low-carbon economy by fostering renewable energy growth, incentivising green real estate practices, and modernising the logistics sector.
Achieving net zero by 2070 is a mammoth task, but with every solar panel installed, every EV on the road, and every green building constructed, India is proving that sustainability and economic growth coexist. Government policies, corporate initiatives, and individual choices are scripting a story of hope, resilience, and innovation. India’s green revolution isn’t just about hitting targets—it’s about creating a world where future generations can thrive, building not just infrastructure but also a legacy of sustainability.
