On the roof of
Shoppers Stop's first department store in the suburbs of Mumbai, a green
initiative is underway in the form of solar panels feeding power to the store. "The
company is trying to rework power consumption as mall owners and retailers will
have to pay 12.5% service tax on electricity with
effect from July this year according to a recent government notification,"
Dubai-based Landmark
Group's departmental store chain Lifestyle, for example, plans to install
energy saving lighting systems in its stores.
Mumbai-based Oberoi
Mall is mulling various alternative fuel options. "Even water consumption
is taxed. Hence, we started rain-water harvesting which has cut costs
significantly," Nirzar Jain, vice-president at Oberoi Mall, says.
