A better quality of life is provided by better surroundings. The demand for green society is increasing as homebuyers focus on reducing water and energy consumption. Developers should include rainwater harvesting, waste management, solar panels, and other features in their projects. With people spending the majority of their time indoors, providing larger balcony spaces with more greenery would also be beneficial, helping to increase green areas.
In order to facilitate Japanese investment in India, the two countries agreed to take steps to develop “Japan Industrial Townships in India,” particularly in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and Chennai Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC) regions. They identified 11 potential sites for “Japan Industrial Townships in India” in this regard.
Reliance Industrial Plots in NCR, Haryana was one of the 11 sites.
The two Ministers emphasised the importance of creating “Japan Industrial Townships in India” with the help of state governments. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry of Japan (METI) expected “Japan Plus” to play a significant role in coordinating the development of “Japan Industrial Townships” in an integrated manner.

Based on the Tokyo Declaration, both Ministers reiterated the two countries’ intention to develop “Japan Industrial Townships” and other industrial townships in India with investment incentives for companies that would not be lower than under the current policy framework such as Special Economic Zone (SEZ), National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ).
