New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) Kartavya Bhavan-3, one of the new government office buildings under the Centre’s ambitious Central Vista redevelopment plan, has recorded significant savings in electricity and water consumption compared to equivalent old buildings, according to official data.
The office of Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal said that Kartavya Bhavan stands as a shining example of New India’s future-ready government infrastructure.
“Designed with world-class green building features, the campus consumes 76% less electricity, saving nearly 4.45 lakh units every month in a single block, and reduces fresh water consumption by 49% by recycling and reusing around 3 lakh litres of water every day,” it said in a post on X.
The minister’s office said that with energy-efficient systems, a zero-discharge campus and smart resource management, Kartavya Bhavan is more than an administrative office — it is a symbol of modern, sustainable and citizen-centric governance, advancing the vision of Viksit Bharat.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan-3 on August 6 last year, which was the first of the ten Common Central Secretariat (CCS) buildings being built under the government’s Central Vista Redevelopment Plan.
So far, three new CCS buildings have been operationalised while seven buildings are under construction.
Under the Central Vista Redevelopment Plan, the government has already constructed a new Parliament building and the Vice President Enclave, and redeveloped the Kartavya Path that spans from Vijay Chowk to India Gate.
Besides the Common Central Secretariat, the government will also construct an Executive Enclave that will house a new Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Cabinet Secretariat, India House and National Security Council Secretariat.
Under the second phase of the Executive Enclave, a new prime minister’s residence will be constructed. PTI BUN KSS KSS
