  • Karnataka government to mandate 20% sustainable construction materials, emphasizing real estate sector's role in economy and sustainability.

The Karnataka government has introduced a new policy mandating that all construction projects must incorporate at least 20% sustainable materials, as announced by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. This initiative, part of the Karnataka State Urban Water Policy, aims to promote sustainability in construction by encouraging the use of materials like fly ash, recycled concrete aggregates, and other eco-friendly alternatives. The policy also includes measures to manage urban water resources more effectively, such as the reuse of treated wastewater and rainwater harvesting. This move is intended to reduce the environmental impact of construction activities, conserve natural resources, and foster a circular economy in the building sector. The policy will be implemented in phases, starting with government projects, to ensure a smooth transition towards sustainable building practices across the state.
