Highlighting the importance of LEED Certification of buildings, Sujatha Ganapathy, Vice President - Sustainability and Well Standard Business, Knight Frank India, has said, “Sustainable architecture and green buildings meeting the needs of a balanced ecology is an emerging and on-demand trend in the Indian and global real estate landscape. As the collective consciousness of the global population leans more and more towards environment-first and socially responsible companies, Indian corporates are also being compelled to respond to the growing attention and trend in non-financial reporting and performance. Investors are keen to assist socially and ecologically conscious businesses in India.”

India has recorded 82 Platinum-certified buildings, 49 Gold-certified buildings and four Silver-certified buildings across the top seven leading markets during the January to October 2022 period. NCR registers the highest Platinum Certified buildings accounting for up to 22 buildings whereas Bengaluru registered the highest Gold Certified buildings accounting for up to 12 buildings.
