NHAI and ISRO Partner for Green Cover Index

This initiative aligns with the global emphasis on environmentally conscious infrastructure development. By incorporating a Green Cover Index, NHAI demonstrates its commitment to responsible and eco-friendly practices in the realm of transportation. The collaboration not only addresses the immediate environmental concerns but also contributes to the long-term resilience and health of ecosystems along major roadways.
