Indore - The Other Name for Sustainability in India

Indore has been leading the nation to embrace innovative waste management practices for the last few years. The city defines the ‘benchmark for India’s cleanest city’ after Surat.

It won the Swachh Survekshan 2023 award at Bharat Mandapam, hosted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The city has maintained this reputation for the past six years. 

Once again, the city makes the nation proud for bagging the tag of cleanliness and sustainable waste treatment. 

Recently, IndiGo successfully launched the Zero Waste Airport Project at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport of Indore.
