Origins by Mahindra World City

Industrial parks developed with an objective of accelerating India’s economic growth. The benefits of green buildings are plenty, and it is our will to create a community of people that abide by these environment-friendly practices. Our approach to sustainable development is multi-fold and categorized into five main components:

• Land acquisition - After due-diligence of the site, the environmental and social impact assessment is considered to identify risks. This also helps to figure out the mitigation measures which include air pollution control, waste minimization, and biodiversity conservation.
• Design - Customer-friendly design with the adoption of following practices:
  • Efficient use of energy, water and natural resources
  • Use of renewable energy sources
  • Pollution and waste reduction features
  • Excellent indoor environmental air quality
  • Use of non-toxic, ethical and sustainable building materials
  • Rainwater harvesting
• Construction - Health and safety of workers, resource optimization, waste minimization and reuse, water conservation and pollution mitigation are the steps taken during the construction phase.
• Sales & marketing - We use ethical marketing techniques to expand our community along with educating customers towards sustainable practices. By buying a home at Mahindra Lifespaces, each customer becomes a part of the #IAmGreenArmy.
• Infrastructure support - We provide maintenance support and provision of amenities for our customers along with grievance support as well.

These practices have helped us build eco-friendly buildings and homes as a part of our sustainable urbanization initiative. Mahindra World City, Chennai happens to be India’s first IGBC Gold (Stage 1) certified Green Township which also houses an on-site solar power plant with a capacity to generate 116,000 units of renewable energy annually.
