green initiatives, India is serious about building environmental sustainability into her business

practices. The following companies who made it to the list of top 10 green Indian companies prove

the statistics right!

The world‟s fourth largest wind-turbine maker is among

the greenest and best Indian companies in India. Tulsi

Tanti, the visionary behind Suzlon, convinced the world

that wind is the energy of the future and built his factory

in Pondicherry to run entirely on wind power. Suzlon‟s

corporate building is the most energy-efficient buildingever built in India.

ITC strengthened

their commitment to green technologies by introducing „ozone-
