MMRC Sariput Nagar Electrical Substation in Mumbai is India's first metro substation project to achieve the prestigious IGBC Platinum rating.

Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) exemplifies a strong commitment to sustainability within the infrastructure development sector. This dedication is evident in MMRC’s initiation of a series of green building projects, emphasising its dedication to environmental stewardship. A notable representation of this commitment is the MMRC Sariput Nagar Electrical Substation located in Mumbai.

As Dr Mala Singh, Founder and Director, PEC Greening India, says, “Small projects can also ‘Go Green’.”
