New Delhi: Sahara group’s Aamby Valley township project near Mumbai will turn into an eco-friendly one with the help of Japanese government. Japanese prime minister Yikio Hatoyama met Sahara group chairman Subrata Roy on Tuesday to discuss ways to make the Aamby Valley project, spread over 10,000 acre, an environment and energy-efficient city. Aamby valley is one of the two cities selected by the Japanese government (another in China) to develop as model eco-friendly cities for the world.
Talking to TOI, Roy said that in the meeting with Hatoyama, they discussed details of Japan’s initiatives on environment and converting Aamby Valley City into an energy-efficient project with cooperation. Roy said the group has been in discussion with the Japanese government for quite some time. Recently a delegation of Sahara Group had gone to Japan to finalise details of the cooperation.
Roy hoped that the company will soon be able to sign a detailed agreement with the Japanese government. A delegation of Japanese ministers and senior officials is likely to visit India early next month. It is understood that the agreement would be signed during the visit of the delegation.
The cooperation will lead to not only efficient use of energy but also its generation through renewable sources like wind and solar. It will also provide technology to recycle water and other wastes to reduce the carbon dioxide emission from the city.
Aamby Valley City is a premium housing project located on the Mumbai-Lonavala expressway. The township has been developed away from the hustle and bustle of cities in green surroundings. A senior official said because of its location and quality of environment, Japanese government has selected it to develop as a eco-friendly city.
