The rise of green industrial parks marks a pivotal shift in industrial real estate, where sustainability is now central to investor, developer, and occupier priorities. As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria become critical investment benchmarks, green industrial parks—designed with eco-friendly infrastructure, renewable energy, and resource-efficient systems—are gaining strong momentum across India’s rapidly growing industrial corridors. These parks are redefining the blueprint of industrial development by offering not just functional space, but future-ready, environmentally responsible ecosystems.
Driven by both global investor mandates and national policy initiatives, green industrial parks emphasize low-carbon, energy-efficient, and circular economy principles. Features such as solar rooftops, rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, LED lighting, EV charging stations, and green building certifications (like IGBC or LEED) are now standard inclusions. These enhancements not only reduce the carbon footprint of industrial operations but also lower long-term operating costs, making them attractive to tenants with sustainability goals and compliance needs.
Investors—especially international funds and institutional players—are increasingly directing capital toward green-certified parks, viewing them as resilient, risk-mitigated, and forward-looking assets. These parks also align with global supply chain requirements, as multinational corporations seek to reduce scope 3 emissions and partner with environmentally conscious landlords. Real estate investment trusts (REITs), private equity firms, and ESG-focused infrastructure funds are actively co-investing in green parks that offer both income stability and environmental impact performance.
