Tree transplantation for NH-53 flyover
To make way for the RTO Flyover on NH-53, mature trees were carefully transplanted instead of being cut down, ensuring minimal loss to the city’s green cover.
Nagpur’s push for green development
Nagpur set an example by balancing infrastructure growth with sustainability, proving that development could go hand in hand with environmental care.
Dakota tree transplanter in action
The Rs 5.47 crore Dakota tree transplanter machine was deployed for the first time in Nagpur, and is only the second such machine in Maharashtra, making the process smooth, efficient, and scientifically sound.
Hydration tech protected roots
The machine continuously hydrated the roots with a 1,600-litre water tank during extraction and replanting, reducing shock and increasing survival chances.
Greener infrastructure
Instead of losing greenery to urban expansion, the transplanted trees gave Nagpur an opportunity to preserve its ecological balance while building new infrastructure.
A model for other cities
The successful trial stood as a milestone in urban green space management, inspiring other Indian cities to adopt sustainable construction practices.
