Below the Comment on the Net Zero water certification on NTPC RGPPL Ratnagiri Township Becomes India’s First to Achieve IGBC Net Zero Water Certification by Viswajit Srinivasan, a senior banker of Indian origin based out of the UK

“Ratnagiri Gas and Power Private Limited (RGPPL) Township being the first township to achieve the Net Zero certification from IGBC is a remarkable milestone. It has been estimated by the IGBC that building projects consume 10% of all water consumption in India and reduced raw water consumption, better water management and use of alternate water can slash consumption by upto 50% compared to the national baseline and effect significant cost savings as well. As India becomes more urbanised, the benefit derived from such measures especially for larger developments cannot be over emphasised. India has 18% of the world’s population but only 4% of water resources with average per capita water availability in 2031 is projected to be 1367 cu.m.”
