Green buildings in Nagpur to get up to 20% property tax rebate
NAGPUR : In a move to promote environmentally sustainable construction, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has decided to offer up to 20% rebate on property tax for buildings certified by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). Municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari issued an order to this effect on May 14. As part of its continuous efforts to tackle rising pollution and temperatures in the city, the NMC is encouraging the use of eco-friendly materials and energy-saving measures in new constructions. Green buildings , which consume less electricity and contribute less to the urban heat island effect, are being actively promoted. According to Chaudhari's order, buildings that obtain IGBC certification will be eligible for a rebate of up to 20% on their property tax. This incentive aligns with the budget provisions for the financial year 2025–26, where the commissioner proposed tax relief under Section 140(B) of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act to boost the green construction sector. To qualify for this rebate, a building must have features like rainwater harvesting, use of solar energy, wastewater recycling, and organic composting. An NMC resolution passed on March 28, 2025, already approved additional concessions for IGBC-certified properties. The revised structure of concessions includes Platinum Green Building Certification (additional 10% rebate, making it a total of 20% tax concession), Gold Certification (additional 7.5% rebate, totalling 17.5%), and Silver Certification (additional 5% rebate, totalling 15%). These additional benefits will be available on top of the existing 10% rebate already provided to properties implementing any of the four key eco-friendly systems. How to Apply: Property owners seeking rebate must apply to the Tax Department at the NMC headquarters or zonal offices Application must be accompanied by a valid Green Building Certificate issued by the IGBC

Fujairah hospital gets LEED Gold certification for energy efficiency
UAE - Emirates Health Services (EHS) announced that its hospital in Fujairah has secured the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC), in recognition of its adherence to the highest standards of sustainability and energy efficiency. LEED is one of the world's most recognised rating systems for assessing buildings based on environmental efficiency and sustainability. It is awarded to buildings that meet stringent criteria in energy efficiency, the use of sustainable materials, indoor environmental quality enhancement, and environmental impact reduction. With this achievement, Fujairah Hospital becomes the first government hospital in the UAE to receive this prestigious certification, underscoring EHS's ongoing commitment to sustainability, resource optimisation, and environmental impact reduction, said a top official. "Fujairah Hospital's attainment of LEED Gold certification reaffirms EHS's commitment to integrating best environmental practices across its healthcare facilities," remarked Dr Ahmed Obaid Al Khadim, the Director of Fujairah Hospital under EHS. "This milestone marks a significant step towards achieving our sustainability goals, including efforts to reduce carbon footprint and enhance the quality of the indoor environment for both patients and staff," he stated. Fujairah Hospital implemented a comprehensive plan to meet the criteria for this accreditation, which involved a thorough assessment of the medical centre's operational and infrastructural status, an analytical study of energy consumption and the adoption of green initiatives to enhance energy and water efficiency, improve waste management, and utilise environmentally friendly building materials. The hospital also implemented stringent regulatory policies to monitor environmental performance and collect the necessary data to ensure compliance with the requirements of the US Green Building Council. Waheed Al Mulla, Director of the Facility Management and Administrative Services Department at EHS, said this achievement reflects the success of EHS's strategic efforts to implement global sustainability standards across all its facilities. "EHS remains committed to leveraging advanced technologies and adopting effective strategies to minimise environmental impact, optimise costs and conserve resources.
