Highlighting its commitment towards environment sustainability, NHAI released its second consecutive ‘Sustainability Report’ for the fiscal year 2023-24.

The comprehensive report details NHAI's robust framework for integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into every aspect of its operations. 

It also highlights NHAI’s alignment with India's global commitments and the vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for a sustainable future, as encapsulated in the 'Mission LiFE' (Lifestyle for Environment) initiative and circular economy.

 The report was recently released by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport and Highways.

The ‘Sustainability Report 2023-24’ underlines the effectiveness of various efforts made by NHAI for environmental protection and energy conservation. 

As per the report, despite a 20% increase in National Highway construction in FY 2023-24, NHAI successfully reduced its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Intensity from 1.0 MTCO2e/km to 0.8 MTCO2e/km demonstrating a clear decoupling of construction growth from emissions.

The report also highlighted NHAI’s efforts to promote the circular economy, which is one of the main pillars of sustainability.
