Mumbai, 11th December 2025 : Rustomjee Group has announced a significant milestone in its
sustainability journey with the launch of two Net Zero Carbon
Clubhouses at Rustomjee Belle Vue, marking its first plotted development
project in Kasara, near Igatpuri. The project also has been
recognized by IGBC for its commitment to sustainability with a Carbon Net Zero
Certification (Design) for its clubhouses and allied services. This
recognition reflects the company’s focus on low embodied carbon materials,
renewable energy, and eco-friendly design set amidst the serene Sahyadri Hills.
Set against the natural terrain of Kasara, Belle Vue
is a thoughtfully planned gated community that redefines residential living by
placing environmental stewardship at the core of its design and operations.
From solar-powered infrastructure to responsible water and waste systems, Belle
Vue reflects the Group’s long-term commitment to climate-conscious
development. Through these initiatives, the Group continues to shape a
greener future by advancing innovative and responsible real estate development.
Speaking on this initiative, Mr. Boman Rustom Irani,
Chairman and Managing Director, Rustomjee Group,
said, “As a company that has always believed in building for the
future, Belle Vue represents a deliberate and focused shift toward responsible
development. Our goal was never just to construct homes, but to build
environments that align with the needs of tomorrow. The net zero carbon
clubhouses at Belle Vue are an outcome of that philosophy, a model of how
sustainability can be embedded at every level, starting with the everyday
spaces people gather in.”
The Clubhouses are designed to be fully powered by
solar energy, with passive ventilation strategies, energy-efficient HVAC
systems, and green roofs that blend into the natural slope of the landscape.
The design and construction have been guided by a Green Procurement Policy,
favouring eco-labelled and Green-Pro certified materials to minimise embodied
carbon.
Mrs. Namrata Nulwalla, Chief Sustainability Officer
at Rustomjee Group, added, “At Belle
Vue, sustainability isn’t a checklist, it is a design principle. Every element,
from material sourcing to water reuse and energy generation, has been
approached with purpose. The Clubhouses demonstrate that it’s possible to
combine ecological intelligence with human comfort without compromise. Our
effort is to continue making meaningful shifts in how we approach the built
environment.”
Belle Vue’s broader sustainability blueprint goes
beyond energy efficiency to address critical aspects of water, waste, and
infrastructure management. The development is designed to reduce freshwater
dependency through the use of low-flow fixtures, rainwater collection ponds to
collect and store freshwater, and onsite treatment systems including bio-STPs.
Treated wastewater is reused for landscape irrigation, ensuring water is conserved
and recycled at source. On the waste front, a Zero Waste to Landfill strategy
is in place, with organic waste compactors, garden waste mulching, and dry
waste segregation embedded into daily operations. Complementing these efforts,
all essential community infrastructure including water pumps, street lighting,
and security systems will run entirely on solar energy, significantly reducing
the project’s operational carbon footprint.
In future phases, Belle Vue will extend its green
bungalow certification to sample villas and other shared amenities, reinforcing
the vision of a sustainable project. Located within easy reach of both Mumbai
and Pune, Belle Vue offers residents the rare advantage of climate-resilient
living amidst natural beauty, making it not just a destination to build a home,
but to build a conscious legacy.
