Tree translocation while building transmission corridors

In a first in the transmission sector, Sterlite Power has implemented tree translocation during the execution of the power transmission lines projects.

Using specialised equipment, Sterlite Power has relocated over 150 trees within the 189 km Indore-Khandwa stretch. Besides reducing the felling of trees by ~40%, this first-in-the-industry move will also help in maintaining air filtration, producing more oxygen, reducing soil erosion and conserving energy. Take a look to find out how trees find a new home within the same eco-system.
