Biophilia: Reconnecting Our Urban Lives with Nature Since the Industrial Revolution, humanity has made significant strides in technological advancement. Our urban and digital world is constantly evolving, but one question lingers: Who defines “progress”? Is it truly progress if we compromise our planet? Is development worth the toll on our mental health and quality of life? At Ecogreen Landscape Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. (affectionately known as ELT India), our mission has transformed over more than three decades in the landscaping and vertical gardening industry. While we may not have started with the vision to enhance lifestyles, we now believe that this is the core of our work. ELT India is synonymous with innovative and sustainable greenery. We have developed four patented systems to create effective solutions for integrating greenery into vertical spaces. As of March 2024, we’ve completed over 250,000 square feet of green walls and more than 200,000 square feet of green roofs across 55 cities in seven countries. Our prominent projects include the Kempegowda International Airport Terminal 2 in Bangalore, the HDFC Bank Headquarters in Mumbai, ITC Kohenur in Hyderabad, ONGC in Dehradun, and Expo 2020 in Dubai. While we’ve focused on improving air quality through greenery in urban environments, we also care deeply about the quality of life for those living within these spaces. In 2021, leveraging our extensive horticultural expertise, we launched Biophilia, our experiential garden center designed to foster a connection between people and nature. “Biophilia” translates to “the love for all things living.” It reflects our innate connection to the natural world. We all find joy in nature in different ways—some are drawn to its vibrant colors, others to the soothing sounds of water, while many appreciate the beauty of changing seasons and diverse textures. In our fast-paced digital society, we often disconnect from nature, and bridging that gap is our mission. We aim to make this connection more accessible. Gardening and plant care are no longer exclusive to those with spacious homes; you can cultivate your own garden on a balcony, terrace, or even a small corner of your study. We call these green pockets “Biophilic Spaces,” and they are our specialty. With our expert consultation and execution services, we transform interiors through office and balcony gardening, providing ongoing maintenance to ensure your green areas thrive.  Our collection features over 200 diverse plant varieties, alongside decorative planters crafted from ceramic, metal, terracotta, and fiberglass. Moreover, our proprietary soilless potting mix simplifies the gardening experience like never before. Its unique composition ensures plants receive the right balance of moisture and air at their roots. It retains more water, holds unused nutrients for later use, and reduces water usage and labour for plant maintenance. This sustainability and efficiency helps users save time and resources while promoting healthier plants. We are committed to introducing a green lifestyle to everyone. In addition to our garden center, we launched our very own Plant Truck in 2023, bringing our products and services directly to your doorstep. Today, we urge builders, architects, and interior designers to incorporate greenery into their designs. Join us in creating green pockets to elevate our quality of life by reconnecting with nature—one plant at a time.

The Most Awaited Underground Section of the Pune Metro: Shivaji Nagar to Swargate The inauguration of Pune Metro’s underground section, connecting the District Court to Swargate, represents a landmark achievement in the city’s evolving transportation network. This critical stretch was officially opened on September 29, 2024, following the launch of the Shivaji Nagar and District Court underground stations on August 1, 2024. The first underground metro in Maharashtra. The underground route comprises two parallel tunnels for metro trains, both up and down. To accomplish the 6.08 km tunneling work, three state-of-the-art Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) were deployed, named after Pune’s iconic rivers: Mula, Mutha, and Pavana. Each time a TBM completed its segment of tunneling and broke through into a station shaft, the milestone was celebrated as a “Breakthrough” – a major feat in the project’s timeline. This newly inaugurated underground section is set to dramatically ease traffic congestion, provide faster transit, and enhance public transportation in Pune, offering a modern solution to the city’s growing urban mobility needs. Salient Features of Underground Section:  Shivaji Nagar Metro Station: The First Underground Metro Station from the Northern end of the North-South Corridor. The facade of the metro station has been inspired by heritage Maratha architecture and elements, especially those which were seen in Pune. The core idea of the design is to connect the public to the Puneri heritage taking them back to their roots and culture. The 300-meter stretch is envisaged as an open art gallery to the public. The design will consist of various elements like Deep mal, Puneri arches, frescoes, heritage columns, moldings, window patterns, and jali walls. The structure will majorly consist of basalt stone cladding, stucco plaster, artwork, and other heritage elements. The station is planned with Multi-Modal Integration. The stations’ entry/exit is integrated with Shivaji Nagar Railway station, PMPML & MSRTC bus depots, and the Hinjewadi metro line. Shivaji Nagar underground station is 200 meters away and located under the road connecting  Sakhar Sankul to Akashwani Bhavan (AIR). Station-related buildings are coming up at the road level in 200X20 meters area. The road dug up for UG station, will be restored. The Pedestrian subway network connects the old Mumbai-Pune Highway at Akashwani (AIR) Pune & Shivaji Nagar railway station. The two subways are proposed to increase the reach of the metro station. One of the subways leads towards Shivaji Nagar Railway station and another to interchange entry/egress at Dr.Kapote Junction. Kasba Peth (Budhwar Peth Station): The Third Underground Metro Station.  The station consists of a central Shaft constructed by a typical Cut & Cover method. The shaft is connected with 2 tunnels, constructed by NATM methodology, on either side for catering to Platform of Budhwar Peth Station.The station is constructed without infringing existing adjacent residential buildings. The Station is located close to Pune’s Heritage Structure i.e. Shaniwar Wada and Pawale Chowk, also close to the old Pune peth areas. The station design includes 2 Entry/Exits. Out of the Two Entry/Exits, One entry/exit connects the Main Station Building at M1 Level through a subway. The second Entry/Exit opens at the Ground Level of the Main Station. Swargate Station The location of Swargate is one of the central nodes for people commuting to Pune from various surrounding regions. The Development of Swargate Station is planned for the integration of various modes of transport, i.e., Metro, PMPML and MSRTC at one place. Swargate underground station is the Terminal Station on the North-South Corridor of Pune Metro. The station is constructed with a typical Cut & Cover method consisting of Platform level, Mezzanine, and Ground level. The station design includes 5 Nos of Entry/Exit. The current operational entry is from Satara roadside. Passenger movement flows from ground level to lower ground level then to upper concourse level and to concourse level. The platform level can be accessed by lift, staircase, and escalator. Future connection is planned via subway to connect MSRTC and PMPML terminus to give pedestrian access as a multi-modal hub. Further, it will extend to connect with Ganesh Kala Krida Manch (Cultural Center) via Subway. This Station also has pick/drop off lanes designated at the entry/exit points. External development includes pedestrians, cycle tracks, motor vehicle paths etc.  Salient Features about the stretch – Shivaji Nagar to Swargate (Complete UG):  The underground metro system will navigate through some of Pune’s most historically and culturally significant areas, playing a crucial role in preserving and enhancing its legacy. These neighborhoods, deeply rooted in Maratha history, are among the oldest and most densely populated in the city. They serve as living museums, where every street and building tells a story of Pune’s rich past. At the heart of this region are the Peth areas, which have long been the epicenter of Pune’s cultural and religious life. These bustling neighborhoods are not just residential hubs but also thriving centers of commerce. The Peths house one of the largest and most vibrant marketplaces in Pune, where a diverse array of artisans and business owners, from small-scale craftsmen to established enterprises, contribute to the city’s economy. These markets are a microcosm of Pune’s dynamic spirit, blending tradition with modernity. The underground metro in these areas is more than just an infrastructure upgrade—it’s a lifeline that will ensure these historic neighborhoods remain accessible and economically vibrant. By improving connectivity, the metro will enable more people to experience the rich cultural tapestry of these areas, from their ancient temples and monuments to their lively festivals and daily markets. It will also support the local economy by providing artisans and business owners with easier access to a wider customer base, fostering economic growth while maintaining the unique character of the neighborhoods.  The Metro line here will reduce the traffic load and congestion in these areas and will help people from Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad city to reach the heart of the city effortlessly and timely. Swargate is going to be a multi-modal transport hub with PMPML and MSRTC, Metro, a multi-layer transport system at Swargate metro station. 

MahaRERA impact on the Real Estate/Construction Business and impact on common people The housing and construction industry plays a critical role in India’s development and economy, being the second-largest employment generator after agriculture. With a population of 1.4 billion, housing holds immense socio-economic significance. The real estate sector contributes 6-7% to India’s GDP, expected to increase to 10-12% in the next five years. The landscape of housing has evolved significantly in the last decade. Homebuyers, once in their mid-40s and tolerant of project delays, are now younger, educated, and more demanding, typically in the 25-35 age group. This shift necessitated stronger regulations to ensure transparency and accountability. In 2016, the Government of India introduced the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), with Maharashtra establishing MahaRERA in 2017. MahaRERA has transformed the real estate sector by enhancing transparency, financial discipline, and customer-centric practices. Homebuyers now enjoy better protection, access to comprehensive project details, and faster dispute resolution. This shift is evident in the reduced complaints for projects launched post-RERA, with only 3.5% of complaints against these compared to 23% for pre-RERA projects. Key measures adopted by MahaRERA include mandatory public access to detailed project information, a requirement for developers to deposit 70% of funds into a dedicated account to prevent misallocation, and increased emphasis on timely project completion. Developers face penalties for delays, while homebuyers are also accountable for timely payments. Additionally, the introduction of a model agreement and non-negotiable terms protects buyers’ interests. To further empower homebuyers, MahaRERA is working on a grading system to help them assess projects more easily. RERA has had numerous positive impacts on the real estate sector. It ensures timely project completion, safeguards against fund mismanagement, and improves construction quality by holding developers accountable for defects for up to five years. The industry has become more organized and disciplined, with developers adhering to stricter compliance requirements. This has also led to increased foreign investment, particularly from NRIs, thanks to greater transparency and credibility. Despite its benefits, the real estate sector still faces challenges, particularly in accessing affordable finance. Developers pay higher interest rates compared to other industries, which adds to the cost burden ultimately passed on to consumers. Additionally, the complexity of real estate, with its reliance on multiple approvals and regulations, means that further reforms are necessary to ensure that all stakeholders, including approving authorities and financial institutions, are held accountable. Overall, RERA has significantly improved the safety, transparency, and efficiency of real estate investments, creating a more secure environment for homebuyers. With continued development and the inclusion of all stakeholders, the future of real estate in India looks promising, with enhanced consumer confidence and a more organized, transparent industry.

Sustainable homes create healthier environments, reduce energy  consumption, and offer long-term savings, all while future-proofing properties against the changing  needs of the market. Green homes have proven themselves to be sound financial investments, with  growing demand driving both property values and rental returns upward.  As the real estate industry continues to evolve, the focus remains on creating not just homes, but  legacies. The future of real estate is about more than bricks and mortar—it’s about building spaces  that are sustainable, innovative, and timeless. In a world that increasingly values eco-conscious  living, investing in a green home isn’t just a choice, it’s the way forward. After all, the homes we  build today should not just withstand time—they should pave the way for a sustainable and thriving Future. [email protected]
