Godrej continues to help shape India’s urban future with sustainable choices that balance progress with environmental responsibility.

The construction business of Godrej Enterprises Group is playing a key role in strengthening Mumbai's intra-city transportation network by manufacturing and supplying over 3,500 precast concrete sacrificial slabs for the Temporary Access Bridge (TAB) and 500 precast concrete tub components for sacrificial formwork. Each precast concrete sacrificial slab is designed to meet the high standards of strength and durability.

This project reflects Godrej's trusted expertise in delivering solutions for large-scale infrastructure that are innovative and also sustainable. By integrating eco-friendly practices into core engineering processes, Godrej continues to help shape India's urban future with sustainable choices that balance progress with environmental responsibility.

Anup Mathew, Executive Vice President and Business Head, Construction Business of Godrej Enterprises Group, who said, "We are committed to help accelerate India's infrastructure growth by delivering innovative and sustainable construction solutions. By embracing low-impact construction materials and circular construction practices, we are actively aiding the future of greener infrastructure development in India. Our contribution to the ongoing Versova-Bandra Sea Link project is a testament to this commitment. Through the use of more sustainable construction materials and resource-efficient processes, we are helping in the reduction of the project's environmental footprint, while ensuring structural strength and desired durability. This endorses Godrej's commitment towards building India's infrastructure more responsibly, with sustainability at the heart of our engineering solutions."

Godrej's precast concrete components incorporate the use of 10 per cent Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) in the concrete mix design, produced at its state-of-the-art concrete debris recycling facility in Vikhroli, Mumbai. This facility, powered entirely by green energy, has achieved the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) ‘GreenCo Gold' certification for its advanced manufacturing efficiency and environmental standards. By transforming construction & demolition waste into valuable building and construction materials, Godrej is championing the shift towards a circular economy in the real estate and construction industry.

The project showcases Godrej's leadership in pioneering sustainable construction materials, a trusted partner for infrastructure projects. As the real estate and construction sector faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, Godrej continues to set benchmarks for balancing innovation, performance, and environmental responsibility — proving that such environmentally conscious choices can help all of us drive India's infrastructure growth forward in the right direction.
