In the first phase, 17 land parcels covering over 62.8 hectares across multiple states have been identified, with plans to plant around 67,462 medicinal trees. Nearly 36 species, including neem, amla, jamun, and imli, will be planted at key locations such as toll plazas, interchanges, and wayside amenities to enhance visibility and public awareness.

The project, supported by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, also earmarks about 188 hectares for future plantation. By focusing on medicinal plants, the initiative aligns with the government’s push for sustainability and traditional medicine, positioning these green spaces as living repositories of India’s rich medicinal heritage.
