Sustainable Initiatives Strengthen Sri City’s Green Vision Drive

Hyderabad: Following recent discussions with Dr P Krishnaiah, Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB), Sri City engaged with industrial units to reinforce sustainable resource management. Emphasising the Circular Economy principles—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—the focus remains on minimising environmental impact. All housing, commercial, civic, and industrial projects must incorporate 90 per cent M-Sand, restricting river sand use to just 10 per cent for plastering. Additionally, to curb dependence on external soil procurement, cut-and-fill operations within designated plots will be promoted. Sri City will also oversee soil redistribution to address water-logging, ensuring sustainable land development.

Dr Ravindra Sannareddy, Founder & Managing Director, Sri City, reaffirmed Sri City’s commitment to sustainability, stating, “Sri City remains steadfast in advancing its Green City vision through responsible resource management and eco-friendly initiatives. By embracing Circular Economy principles, we are implementing measures that drive sustainable industrial growth.” Highlighting the broader vision, he added, “From renewable energy expansion and water conservation to zero-waste policies and extensive green belt development, sustainability is deeply embedded in Sri City's growth strategy.”

As part of its broader sustainability efforts, Sri City is expanding renewable energy adoption, promoting large-scale rainwater harvesting, water recycling, and groundwater conservation, encouraging zero-waste policies and industrial symbiosis, and maintaining a green belt covering over 40 per cent of its area.
