Tenneco Clean Air India on Sunday launched its landmark tree plantation drive, known as Vriksharopan Abhiyan, in collaboration with the 15th Battalion of the Jat Regiment and Vaghmi Foundation, planting 5,000 saplings at the regiment’s premises in Lullanagar, Pune.

The sustainable initiative includes 18 months of maintenance to ensure sapling survival, with each plant tagged for geo-monitoring, survival tracking and quarterly reporting by the Vaghmi Foundation.

Tenneco leadership, regiment officers and foundation representatives attended the event, underscoring the company’s commitment to environmental conservation.

“The Vriksharopan Abhiyan is a meaningful step in Tenneco’s larger ambition to contribute to India’s environmental priorities,” said Rishi Verma, President of Tenneco India. “Our focus is on nurturing long-term green cover through structured care, protection and scientific monitoring to create healthier, more resilient ecosystems.”

Tenneco employees and foundation members will conduct periodic revisits to support ongoing care.

Tenneco Clean Air India, part of the global Tenneco Group, supplies clean air, powertrain and suspension systems to automotive original equipment manufacturers in India, operating 12 manufacturing facilities and two R&D centres.
