The Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator is an initiative to redefine urban development by integrating sustainability into building design, construction, and operations. It focuses on achieving net-zero emissions in the built environment by 2070, in alignment with India's climate goals.

The initiative focuses on Materials, Efficiency, Energy Transition, and Climate Resilience aiming to create sustainable and resilient urban ecosystems.

Palava City serves as a living laboratory, showcasing innovations in urban planning, renewable energy integration, and efficient building designs. It also acts as a replicable model for sustainable urbanisation across India.

The programme promotes the use of low-carbon materials across key emission categories like concrete, steel, aluminium, blocks, paints and tiles alongside innovative techniques to minimise emissions and environmental impact.

The Accelerator emphasises passive design solutions, such as enhanced natural ventilation and high-performance facades, and promotes super-efficient appliances like BLDC fans and super efficient air conditioners.

Yes, we welcome collaborations with developers, academic institutions, technology providers, and policymakers to pilot projects, share knowledge, and accelerate sustainable urbanisation.

RMI (Rocky Mountain Institute) is a key partner providing expertise in clean energy, sustainability strategies, and scalable climate solutions. Together, we drive innovation and align the Accelerator’s initiatives with global best practices.

Yes, the solutions implemented at Palava City are designed to be scalable and replicable across other urban areas, creating a blueprint for sustainable and resilient development.
