The ambitious project, launched under HURL’s Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) initiative, will illuminate 30 kilometers of Sindri’s roads with LED streetlights and high-mast lighting systems, enhancing safety, energy efficiency, and civic infrastructure. The project is valued at approximately ₹10.29 crore.

Participants were also given specially designed T-shirts, symbolizing unity and environmental consciousness. The event concluded with a guided plant visit, offering guests an opportunity to witness HURL’s operational excellence and commitment to sustainable industrial practices.
