India is entering a decisive decade of construction-led growth. As demand for cement, steel, aluminium, and other construction materials accelerates, the built environment is set to become one of the country’s largest sources of future embodied carbon emissions. At the same time, India has a unique opportunity to leapfrog towards low-carbon construction pathways, supported by innovations such as LC3 cement, low-carbon steel, circular material flows, and evolving building standards.

This closed-door roundtable will convene senior leaders from industry, finance, policy, and standards bodies to identify practical, scalable, and India-relevant pathways to reduce embodied emissions and accelerate the adoption of low-carbon materials and net-zero buildings.
