<h1>Platinum IGBC Green New Buildings rating boosts IT park's ESG value, affects leases, valuation and compliance obligations</h1> A developer's commercial project has received the Indian Green Building Council's Platinum rating under the Green New Buildings standard, recognising high sustainability performance for an approximately 600,000 sq ft IT park. Legally, the certification enhances the asset's ESG credentials and marketability to corporate tenants, may affect lease negotiations and valuation, and could qualify the owner for regulatory incentives or expedited approvals; however, representations based on the rating must be accurate and supported by continuing compliance with certification criteria. Tenants and investors should include certification verification, maintenance and performance obligations, and warranties in due diligence and contractual terms.
