For its three additional metro stations at Durgam Cheruvu, Punjagutta, and LB Nagar, the Hyderabad Metro Rail has been awarded IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) Green MRTS Certification with the highest platinum rating under the elevated stations category.
IGBC revealed its platinum rating on Thursday during the three-day IGBC Green Building Congress 2022 that was being held in Hyderabad.
The IGBC Platinum Certificate for the three stations was presented to the MD and CEO of L&TMRHL, KVB Reddy, at the IGBC Projects Award ceremony held as a part of the IGBC Green Building Congress-2022. According to a press release, Hyderabad Metro Rail now has 23 metro stations that have earned the IGBC Platinum rating.
To promote green concepts in the design, building, and operation of all new Rail-based MRTS projects, the certification is a component of the Indian Green Building Council’s (IGBC) Green Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) rating.
Speaking on the occasion, KVB Reddy said “We are grateful to IGBC for auditing the metro stations and validating our efforts to develop green infrastructure in line with our commitment to providing a sustainable mode of the mass transportation system. This achievement resonates with the green commitment of the City of Hyderabad, which was recently accorded the World Green City Award.”
A new rail-based MRTS can use the IGBC Green Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) rating system as a tool to incorporate green design and construction practices to further minimize observable environmental impacts. According to the press release, the main goal of the IGBC Green MRTS Rating is to guarantee environmental sustainability while increasing the commuter experience.
