One of the oldest factories in Northern India and the first factory of this tenure in Rajasthan to be conferred with this prestigious certification for its best in class sustainability practices.

National Engineering Industries Ltd (NEI), part of USD 2.4 billion diversified CK Birla Group, was recently awarded Green Factory Building Platinum Certification by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) for its 75-year-old manufacturing facility located in Jaipur. Spread across 75 acres, this facility comprising office blocks and factory buildings received this highest level of rating for green buildings offered by IGBC. This certification is a benchmark for sustainably designed buildings. As the oldest factory in Rajasthan to receive this certification, NEI has been making constant strides for more than a decade to transform this facility into one of the best in class green buildings and further support NEI’s sustainability mission.

Being one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of bearings, NEI continuously works towards improving its processes in order to be ahead of environment and efficiency related regulatory norms. The company has ensured that they implement all the major green practices and highest standards of water and energy conservation, waste management, CO2 emissions reduction and environmental quality. Speaking on this development, Rohit Saboo, President & CEO, National Engineering Industries Ltd, said, “It is a moment of immense pride and honour to be recognised by IGBC for the genuine efforts made by NEI going beyond the mandatory to implement sustainability measures and improve our carbon footprint.
