The roadmap sets funded targets across waste, e‑mobility, water reuse under World Bank support.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini unveiled the State Environment Plan 2025–26 in Panchkula and released a Non‑CO₂ Pathway that targets short‑lived climate pollutants alongside CO₂.
  • A World Bank‑backed Clean Air Project worth Rs 3,600 crore includes procuring 500 electric buses for Gurugram, Faridabad and Sonipat, with 50 buses delivered and more on order.
  • The state plans 13 integrated solid‑waste plants to close the gap on the 5,600 tonnes generated daily, reporting 77% scientific management and 50% legacy dump clearance, plus district e‑waste collection centres to complement 42 recyclers.
  • Water measures focus on reusing treated sewage, with 2,343 MLD of treatment capacity at 74% utilization and a Masani Barrage pilot in Rewari to supply irrigation, alongside multiple schemes already in service.
  • Implementation will be steered by a high‑level committee for cross‑department coordination, with expanded monitoring that adds 18 air‑quality stations and incentives to replace diesel generators with cleaner alternatives.
