GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT
Development of green belt with carefully selected plant species is of prime importance due to
their capacity to reduce noise and air pollution impacts by attenuation/assimilation and for
providing food and habitat for local micro fauna.
Green Belt Development Plan
• Special attention is planned to maintain green belt in an around the factory premises.
• Adequate provisions shall be made to facilitate daily watering of all plants and lawns.
• Special attention provided during summer to ensure that the green belt does not suffer
from water shortage.
• Development & maintenance of green belt to be considered as a priority issue.
• No outside soil is brought for any building/ greenery developments.
Following guidelines will be followed for the Green Belt Development Plan in the plant and
colony area.
• All the open areas should be vegetated. Soil and other environment are very
encouraging and the expected growth rate should be more than 90%.
• Trees growing to a height of 5m or more should be planted.
• Plantation of trees should be undertaken in around the area in alternating rows to
prevent horizontal pollution dispersion.
• Trees should be planted along road sides, to arrest auto-exhaust and noise pollution,
and in such a way that there is no direct line of sight to the installation when viewed
from a point outside the foliage perimeter.
• Since tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage (up to 3 m), it should be appropriate to
have shrubbery in form of such trees to give coverage to this portion.
• Fast growing trees with thick perennial foliage should be grown, as it will take many
years for trees to grow to their full height.
• In consultation with the local DFO the plant species which has been proposed to be
planted are Wad (banyan tree), Pipal, Coconut, Mango, Neem and other local trees.
In order to facilitate the proper growth of vegetation, limited measures involving preparation
of seed bed with suitable number of fertilizers and treatment with mulches are taken. The
topsoil should be used for green belt development. Vegetation covers in and around the plant
workings generally helps in:
• Stabilizing erodible slopes to minimize pollution.
• Control of dust.
• Control of noise and odour
• Enhancement of aesthetic value.
• Maximizing evaporate-transpiration, which helps minimizing run off.
Around 7900 nos. of trees will be planted over an area of 3.16 acres at the rate of 2500 trees
per Ha. List of proposed trees are given in the below Table
