Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, stated this while delivering a virtual address at Brigade REAP's Propagate 2022 PropTech summit.

Puri presided over the summit, which was attended by Ashwathnarayan CN, Minister of Electronics, IT, Biotechnology, Science & Technology, Higher Education, Skill Development, Entrepreneurship & Livelihood, and Nirupa Shankar, Joint Managing Director, Brigade Enterprises.

Puri said India’s urban rejuvenation is an important facet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to transform India into a developed nation by 2047, a key component of which is India’s advocacy for green and climate-resilient infrastructure. It is imperative that these sustainability considerations are also imbibed by the construction industry.
