2025-11-03

The Confederation of Indian Industry’s Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has announced the 23rd edition of its annual flagship event—Green Building Congress 2025—to be held from 27–29 November 2025 at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. With the theme “Green Shifts for Greener Tomorrows: Do Good, Feel Good – Embrace Green Choices for a Sustainable Future,” the event aims to accelerate India’s Green and Net Zero Building Movement through knowledge exchange and business collaboration.

This year’s Congress marks 25 years of IGBC’s pioneering work in advancing India’s green building sector. The event will feature a three-day international conference alongside a grand-scale Green Expo showcasing over 1,000 low-carbon and sustainable technologies from India and abroad. It will bring together architects, developers, engineers, policymakers, corporates, and international agencies to share innovations, best practices, and pathways to Net Zero development.

Speaking at the launch, B Thiagarajan, National Chairman, IGBC and Managing Director, Blue Star Ltd, said: “As IGBC celebrates 25 years of advancing India’s Green Building Movement, the Green Building Congress 2025 embodies our resolve to ‘Do Good and Feel Good.’ This theme reminds us that sustainability is about people making responsible choices every day.”

The 2025 edition will also be organised as a carbon neutral event, underscoring IGBC’s commitment to demonstrating sustainability through action by reducing and offsetting its resource footprint.

C Shekar Reddy, National Vice-Chairman, IGBC, added: “From one green building in 2001 to over 14 billion sq. ft. of registered green footprint today, India’s progress has been extraordinary. This is the time to be bold—in our designs, innovations, and collaborations.”

Key highlights include sessions on AI and IoT in buildings, green financing, carbon-neutral cities, Net Zero homes, and women’s leadership in sustainability. Awards, competitions, and youth-focused programmes will also spotlight innovation and leadership in the green building space.

Dr Mala Singh, Chairperson, IGBC Mumbai Chapter, noted Mumbai and Maharashtra’s leading role, stating: “Green buildings are essential to safeguard Mumbai’s future, enhance livability, and ensure sustainable growth.”

As Asia’s largest green building congregation, the Green Building Congress 2025 reaffirms IGBC’s mission to position India as a global leader in sustainable built environments through collaboration, innovation, and action.
