In this webcast, we explore how to scale green residential real estate in India and strengthen market readiness for sustainable housing.
As part of the IFC–EY knowledge partnership on sustainable real estate, this webcast focuses on advancing sustainable residential development in India. The discussion brings together Mahindra Lifespaces Developers Ltd., Standard Chartered, and IFC to examine the market, financing and execution realities shaping green housing. Speakers explore the residential sector’s emissions footprint, the limited penetration of green-certified housing and the growing availability of climate-aligned capital. While commercial real estate has largely transitioned toward certification, residential adoption remains uneven, particularly across Tier-II markets. The panel highlights execution friction across project stages, buyer awareness gaps and the need for ecosystem-wide alignment. The session underscores that capital is increasingly available for green housing but scaling adoption requires improved market readiness, certification integration and stronger demand signals.
Topics discussed include:
- The emissions and growth profile of India’s residential real estate sector
- Why green penetration in housing remains limited despite the capital availability
- Execution challenges across the design, construction and post-handover stages
- The evolving role of green building certifications, such as EDGE, in enabling climate finance
- How buyer behavior differs across metro and Tier-II markets
- Whether sustainability commands a premium in residential real estate
- Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and policy incentives in accelerating green housing adoption
Sustainable residential real estate in India is no longer constrained by capital; scaling adoption now depends on developer readiness, ecosystem coordination and stronger end-buyer demand.
