Transforming society together.

Rooftop solar

Panels on our roofs power the shared spaces, which lowers maintenance bills and eases daytime demand on the grid.

What we build

We install solar panels on the roofs of our buildings, on space that would otherwise sit empty above the top floor.

How it works

The panels turn daylight into electricity for the loads everyone shares: lifts, corridor and street lighting, water pumps and clubhouse equipment. When the sun is out, those loads draw less from the grid.

For residents

Common-area electricity is paid for by every household through maintenance charges. Power generated on the roof is power the society does not have to buy, which helps keep those charges in check year after year.

For the city

India's grid still runs largely on coal. Every unit made on a rooftop is a unit that does not have to be generated at a power station, so there is less smoke in the air and less strain on the grid during hot afternoons when demand peaks.

Water recycled for flushing

About 0.5 million litres a day

Our treatment plants can clean and return around half a million litres a day, so toilets flush with recycled water instead of drinking water.

What we build

Each project has its own sewage treatment plant (STP) and a second set of pipes that carries treated water to the flush tanks in every home.

How it works

Wastewater from kitchens and bathrooms flows to the plant, where it is screened, treated biologically and filtered. The clean output is stored separately and piped only to flushing points, never to taps meant for drinking or cooking. The capacity to do this runs to roughly 0.5 million litres every day.

For residents

Flushing is one of the largest uses of water in a home. When it runs on recycled water, the fresh supply stretches further, and the society buys fewer tankers when municipal supply runs short.

For the city

At that scale, water reused on site is water not drawn from rivers, lakes and borewells, and sewage treated on site is sewage that does not reach open drains untreated. It also takes pressure off the city's sewer lines as neighbourhoods grow.

Water held in reserve

Wells on our own land, a municipal supply that arrives in good volume and large tanks below ground: three reasons the taps keep running through cuts and dry months.

What we build

We build water storage tanks underground, below the landscaped areas, so the reserve takes no space away from gardens or play areas. Raw water is also held in wells on the land itself.

How it works

The tanks fill when water is available and supply the building when it is not. Being underground keeps the water cool and out of sunlight, which reduces evaporation and algae. Filling them is not left to one source: the wells on site hold raw water in ample quantity, and the municipal corporation supplies the projects in ample volume as well.

For residents

More than one source, and a reserve that is already full, means fewer mornings without water when the municipal supply is interrupted, and less dependence on tankers through the summer.

For the city

Storing water when it is plentiful and drawing on it when it is scarce smooths the load on the municipal network. Where tanks also collect rain from roofs, that water stays in use instead of running off into flooded streets.

Trees, planted early

Close to 2,000 trees planted

Close to 2,000 trees already stand across our projects, put in to shade the places people actually walk.

What we build

Planting is part of the landscape drawing rather than an afterthought at handover: avenues along the internal roads, groves in the gardens, and canopy over the seating, pathways and play areas.

How it works

Because these trees went in early, they have years of growth behind them before most families arrive. A sapling planted on possession day shades nobody for a decade; one planted during construction is already doing the work.

For residents

Shade decides whether a courtyard is used in April or crossed at a run. Canopy cools the air beneath it, softens dust and glare, and brings birds into the gardens.

For the city

Built-up parts of Pune run hotter than the open land around them, and tree cover is the cheapest correction available. Close to 2,000 trees is close to 2,000 small contributions to a cooler, cleaner stretch of the city.
