Executive Summary:
The project was non-compliant with following appraisals of the criteria under GRIHA
Version 2019 that were checked at this stage.
• Criterion 1 - Green Infrastructure
• Criterion 4 - Air and Soil Pollution Control
•
Please note:
1. All the observations and actions to be taken were communicated to the project management team
during the site visit.
2. Compliance with Criteria 4, 5, 6, 23 (partly) and 26 (partly) will be evaluated based on the site visit,
compliance reports and documents submitted after the Due Diligence (DD) I and II site visits. There
will be no further submission for these criteria during the final evaluation stage.
3. The document-based compliance will be verified upon submission of relevant documents as per
GRIHA V.2019, at the time of preliminary and final evaluations.
4. Non-compliance with any mandatory criteria under GRIHA V.2019 shall render the project ineligible
for award of GRIHA Rating.
5. The compliance on site status has the following interpretation:
• Yes – On site observation was found to be compliant. However, periodic date-stamped photographs
must be recorded by the project team for the entire course of construction. In addition, supporting
documents will be verified after submission of relevant documents during the evaluation stage.
• No – On site observation was found to be non-compliant. Project team must submit date-stamped
contextual photographs for compliance. In addition, supporting documents will be verified after
submission of relevant documents during the evaluation stage.
• Partly – Appraisal requirement was partly being met. Project team must submit date-stamped
contextual photographs for compliance. In addition, supporting documents will be verified after
submission of relevant documents during the evaluation stage.
• To be verified – Appraisal requirements will be verified after submission of relevant documents. In
addition, supporting documents will be verified after submission of relevant documents during the
evaluation stage.
