plant
'Born Green' is an operating philosophy that Mahindra REVA strongly adheres to. It consists of a conscious effort to minimise environmental impact across all business areas.
The ultra-low carbon assembly plant, in Bangalore, bears testimony to this commitment. Developed in accordance with the standards set by The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC, India), the state-of-the-art plant is the first automobile unit in India to be certified PLATINUM - which is the highest rating for a green plant.
Efficient Design
The innovative recyclable steel structure facilitates speedy construction. Aerodynamic principles, applied in the plant's design, result in more
fluidity of movement & space optimisation.
facilities
Modern production facility (accommodating 400 people), a test track, an administrative block with offices, a conference area,
and a technology demonstration area.
Energy Consumption & Ventilation
Skylights reduce electricity consumption
on the factory floor. 100% of the factory
space is lit by LEDs.
production lines
Flexible, efficient, environment-friendly production lines are designed with adequate space for
on-site storage of line materials.

SOIL CONSERVATION
A virgin soil conservation strategy, prevents erosion/chemical alteration of the soil during landscaping.
Temperature maintenance
An insulated high roof ensures
optimal temperature. A translucent
honeycomb mesh covering one side
of the building shields the plant
from harsh rays.
SOLAR ENERGY HARVESTING
On-site solar PVs cater to 35% of the energy consumption including industrial use,
charging facilities for testing
and street lighting.
Water Conservation
On-site rain harvesting system with
a drip irrigation system for landscape.
100% treatment and reuse
of grey water.
Efficient usage of materials & materials movement
Usage of pre-painted sheets avoids pollution while materials intake, manpower entry and finished goods dispatch are located
at different points to maximise operational efficiency.
