Tenneco Clean Air India, Jat Regiment and Vaghmi Foundation Undertake 5,000-Sapling Plantation Drive in Pune

Tenneco Clean Air India, in collaboration with the 15th Battalion of the Jat Regiment and Vaghmi Foundation, has launched ‘Vriksharopan Abhiyan’, a large-scale tree plantation drive at the Jat Regiment premises in Lullanagar, Pune. The initiative includes the plantation of 5,000 saplings, accompanied by a structured maintenance plan spanning 18 months to ensure sustained environmental benefits.

The plantation programme saw active participation from Tenneco leadership, officers and personnel of the 15th Battalion of the Jat Regiment, along with representatives from the Vaghmi Foundation. The initiative reflects Tenneco’s ongoing commitment to environmental protection and highlights the importance of partnerships in driving community-focused sustainability efforts.

Speaking on the occasion, Rishi Verma, President, Tenneco India, said, “The Vriksharopan Abhiyan is a meaningful step in Tenneco’s larger ambition to contribute to India’s environmental priorities. Our focus is on nurturing long-term green cover through structured care, protection and scientific monitoring. Through this collaborative effort, we aim to create healthier, more resilient ecosystems that benefit the community for years to come.”

Under the programme, each sapling will be individually tagged and documented, enabling systematic monitoring, survival assessment, and quarterly reporting by the Vaghmi Foundation. Employees from Tenneco and the Foundation will continue their involvement through regular revisits, ensuring accountability and sustained environmental engagement.
