    MUMBAI: Turning industrial progress into a green revolution, Amit Badlani has been honoured by Gujarat’s chief minister Bhupendra Patel for his remarkable contributions to sustainability.

    Vihaan Clean & Green Tech and Go Green Mechanisms Pvt. Ltd. managing director Amit  Badlani has spent 17 years championing eco-friendly industrial practices. Under his leadership, Vihaan Clean & Green Tech, a Hyfun Foods subsidiary, has set new standards with world-class Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems, combining efficiency with environmental responsibility.

    The accolade also celebrates the company’s community initiatives, from afforestation drives to sustainable infrastructure projects. Earlier this year, Vihaan planted 400 trees in collaboration with the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for World Environment Day, earning praise for its tangible impact on local ecosystems.

    “This honour is a collective achievement, it belongs to every engineer, operator, and visionary who believes in building industries that coexist responsibly with nature,” said Badlani. “At Vihaan, sustainability isn’t a goal but a practice. Every project brings us closer to a cleaner tomorrow, where progress and preservation go hand in hand.”

    The award ceremony, attended by senior officials including minister of state Harsh Sanghvi, highlighted Badlani’s leadership in sustainable industrialisation, aligning with India’s Vision 2070 for net-zero emissions.

    Vihaan Clean & Green Tech continues to redefine industrial environmental management. Its CETP behind Fanidhar Mega Food Park in Mehsana, Gujarat, is among India’s largest and most advanced, treating 10 MLD of wastewater and recycling it to IS 10500 drinking water standards, a model of green innovation that proves eco-conscious growth is not just possible, but profitable.
