The Strategic Shift to Green Real Estate: Driving Strong Returns and ESG Compliance in India's Grade A Commercial Market

This transcript examines the growing importance of green real estate in India, where ESG compliance has shifted from optional to mandatory for institutional investors and developers. Green-certified buildings command higher rental and valuation premiums, particularly in Grade A commercial assets, driven by demand from global tenants. Lower borrowing costs through green finance and regulatory incentives further enhance returns. While adoption is strongest in commercial real estate, residential uptake is emerging in premium segments. Over the next decade, green assets are expected to significantly outperform traditional buildings.
