New Delhi: The construction and housing sector will get a tad greener by the end of next year. The government has decided to make it mandatory for new buildings to undertake energy efficient measures, rainwater harvesting and use recycled construction material in parts under the sustainable habitat mission of the National Action Plan on Climate Change.
It will also finalise norms for integrating parking, taxation and congestion charges and other measures to promote public transport across cities.
