Transportation plays a pivotal role in a country's economic development, and India boasts the world's second-largest road network, spanning an impressive 58.98 lakh kms (1). However, the expansion of road highways, while integral to economic progress, raises concerns about its environmental impact, including deforestation (2). In response to this environmental compromise, the concept of a 'green highway' emerges, seeking to balance transportation functionality with ecological considerations (3). Notably, while Western countries have long established methods for evaluating green highways, it was only in September 2015 that the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) in India formulated the Green Highway policy (4). This research aims to delve into the existing guidelines for evaluating green highways, scrutinizing their applicability within the Indian context. The study employs a comprehensive approach, drawing insights from literature reviews and real-world case studies. By synthesizing this information, the objective is to develop a framework of guidelines tailored to the unique dynamics of the Indian landscape. The keywords for this research include Green Highway, MoRTH, Transportation, and Green Rating. Through this exploration, we hope to contribute to the sustainable development of transportation infrastructure in India, fostering a harmonious coexistence between economic growth and ecological preservation.
