The IGBC Green Property Show 2023 was a three day event held at Hitex Exhibition Centre, Hyderabad. The event saw a massive footfall of over 25,000 visitors.

The first edition of IGBC Green Property Show – India’s first-of-its-kind event aimed at sensitizing and motivating prospective buyers to invest in a greener future by choosing IGBC certified or pre-certified green homes, technologies & services over conventional buildings. The Government of Telangana is the Partner State for this event, affirming its commitment to sustainability. This expo showcased green residential/ homes villas and gated communities, products & services.

With over 75+ exhibitors spread in an expo space of over 4,200 sq m, the green property show brings property developers, relevant product manufacturers, buyers, sustainable developers, investors together who are inclined to purchase properties and products that are sustainable. The expo has multiple benefits for the people for a lifetime health and happiness.

Addressing the gathering at the valedictory ceremony, Ganapathi Reddy, Engineer- in - chief, Roads and Buildings Department, Government of Telangana highlighted the commitment of the government to promote the adoption of green building concepts in all the government buildings. He also urged all the developers to consider adoption of green home concepts in their designs as they do not cost much but have a significant impact in conserving the finite resources for the next generation.

Speaking on the occasion, Shekar Reddy said, “The green property show is the first of its kind initiative to promote sustainable living. The property show has brought together green certified and pre-certified projects by the IGBC, along with sustainable products, making it easy for developers to connect with the environment conscious property buyer in India. We have received very good footfalls for the last three days. We wish we can create a positive inclination towards the IGBC rated green buildings amongst the home buyers, making more builders and designers work towards incorporating green concepts in their designs and help move towards the net zero goals. Encouraged by the response to the green property show in Hyderabad, IGBC is planning to host similar shows across other major cities in India."

G Srinivasa Murthy said, “IGBC Green Property Show is helping sensitise people towards sustainable and eco-friendly living spaces. Buying a green home ensures energy efficiency leading to enormous saving along with a more comfortable and durable space. Green homes combine state-of-the-art energy-efficient construction, appliances, cooling systems and lighting, with passive design strategies which take advantage of local climate and site conditions. Hope this property show will increase the awareness on long term benefits of IGBC rated green buildings. We encourage home buyers to give preference to IGBC rated projects to encourage builders to plan homes, apartments, villas and plots that adhere to sustainable practices."
