550 "green buildings" under construction, 150 belong to the IT

sector. The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) said that in the nine years,
since it launched the first such business centre in Hyderabad, the biggest
share of green buildings has been taken over by the IT industry. Mr B V M
Sarma, vice-president, Tata Consultancy Services, says, "Good indoor air

other manufacturing industry. People need to use their minds and people are
more creative only in a good work space."15 May 2010 Business Standard
