Several infrastructure developmental activities lead to change in the natural environment and sometimes it leads to excessive environmental degradation. Unplanned management of natural resources is already limiting the development in some areas, resulting in growing scale of economic activity and subsequently posing serious challenges for environmental management. Environment- friendly methods and technologies are essential in today's scenario of global issues such as climate change, global warming, energy depletion and other environmental concerns which have led to the emergence of the green concept in India. The policymakers and researchers strongly believe that the increase in green technologies will result in sustainable societies and economic development. Considering economic development and environmental sustainability in roads and the highways sector, it is necessary to adopt the green concept. The objective of the study is to present the concept of green highways, the available green practices, technical aspects, further benefits and implementation of such practices and the possible challenges in the Indian context. It is an integrated partnership planning program to promote environmental sustainability.
