NHAI and ISRO Partner for Green Cover Index

In a significant move towards fostering sustainable development, NHAI and ISRO's collaboration seeks to create a robust Green Cover Index that will serve as a vital metric for evaluating the environmental impact of road projects. The integration of satellite data will provide real-time insights into the vegetation cover along national highways, aiding in strategic planning to minimise ecological disruption. 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.
