100,000 Trees for a Greener Bengaluru
In a conscientious step toward ecological enhancement and community well-being, Brigade Foundation launched a landmark tree planting drive, From Saplings to a Sanctuary. This initiative stems from Brigade Group’s Urban Forest philosophy, reinforcing our commitment to a sustainable future with 100,000 new trees being planted, on top of the 100,000 already flourishing across Bengaluru.
Symbolically inaugurated by Shri. M B Patil, Hon. Minister for Large and Medium Industries & Infrastructure Development, GoK, in the presence of Shri. K H Muniyappa, Hon. Minister for Food & Civil Supplies, GoK, and other dignitaries, this marks the beginning of what is certain to be a lush forest in the years to come.
These saplings will be planted in and around Brigade Group’s project in Bengaluru’s KIADB area, with the aim to reinforce these landscapes as thriving ecological reserves. Brigade Foundation has partnered with Bengaluru based Vanantara, an ecologically focused firm to carry forward this initiative.

A Few Thoughts
At last, the Central Government’s GST Council reduced the GST rates on many products in October. Thankfully, the GST on basic construction materials such as cement has been lowered from 28% to 18%. Cement is no longer considered a ‘luxury or sin’ good. I am sure rationalised GST rates will boost consumption and over time will bring more revenue to the government.
