Since its inception in 2014, the DPD sector has helped significant projects such as the Jammu-Baramulla Railway Line, India’s first underwater railway tunnel in Kolkata, Pune Airport, and educational campuses such as IIMs and AIMS adopt sustainable practices. These projects have made a substantial contribution to decarbonising India’s infrastructure sector and paved the path for a greener future.
