Confederation of Indian Industry and the Indian Green Building Council convened the Madhya Pradesh Sustainability Conclave 2026 in Indore, bringing together policymakers, urban planners, and industry leaders to advance sustainable urban development and climate resilience in the state.
Held on April 25 at Indore Marriott Hotel, the conclave focused on the theme “Driving Green Growth, Climate Resilience & Responsible Urban Development”, with discussions centred on accelerating green building adoption, strengthening policy frameworks, and integrating sustainability into urban planning.
Madhya Pradesh has emerged as a key player in India’s green building movement, with over 510 million sq. ft of green building footprint and more than 549 IGBC-registered projects spanning commercial, residential, industrial, logistics, and transit infrastructure.
Addressing the conclave, Sanjay Dubey said the state is actively strengthening sustainability-driven urban policies by integrating technological innovation with climate-focused governance. He noted that the government is examining incentives for IGBC Silver and Gold-rated projects, including rebates and concessions, while also revising building bye-laws to promote green construction practices.
Parikshit Zade highlighted Indore’s progress toward becoming a climate-resilient and carbon-neutral city, citing policy incentives for green buildings, renewable energy investments, and circular economy initiatives. He pointed to the city’s 60 MW Jalud Solar Plant and green waste processing infrastructure as examples of sustainable urban innovation.
Speaking at the event, C Shekar Reddy said Indore continues to set national benchmarks in urban sustainability through efficient waste management, clean energy integration, and smart city governance. He added that Madhya Pradesh has witnessed strong growth in IGBC Platinum and Gold-rated projects, positioning the state as a growing hub for green infrastructure.
The conclave also featured a panel discussion on climate-resilient urban growth and high-performance built environments, where experts discussed strategies for integrating resource-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and long-term climate adaptation measures into urban infrastructure.
A technical session showcased innovations in green building technologies, including smart building systems, energy-efficient solutions, and sustainable construction materials aimed at reducing environmental impact while improving cost efficiency.
The event concluded with a call for stronger collaboration between government, developers, and technology providers to accelerate green building adoption and support Madhya Pradesh’s broader sustainability and climate resilience goals.
