The Madhya Pradesh government announced plans to use green building methods for new government buildings and to construct roads with cement‑free concrete, aiming for eco‑friendly infrastructure.
The state administration of Madhya Pradesh has outlined a policy shift toward environmentally sustainable construction. Future government buildings will be designed and erected using green building technologies that reduce energy consumption and lower carbon footprints.
In parallel, the government intends to pilot road‑building techniques that replace traditional cement with alternative binders, creating cement‑free concrete. This approach is expected to cut greenhouse‑gas emissions associated with cement production and lower construction costs.
Officials said the initiatives are part of a broader effort to modernise the state's infrastructure while adhering to national climate goals. Implementation will begin with select projects, and the outcomes will guide wider adoption across the state.
The move aligns Madhya Pradesh with other Indian states exploring sustainable construction practices, reflecting a growing emphasis on climate‑responsive public works.
Stakeholders, including architects and civil engineers, have been invited to contribute expertise as the state drafts detailed guidelines for the new standards.
