PAL Kia joins Pir Panjal plantation drive

Reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, PAL Kia India today joined the plantation initiative, ‘One Million Trees Green,’ in the ecologically vital Pir Panjal range of J&K.

Today, in collaboration with the J&K Forest Department, SRDE, NCA, and local communities, an event took place at Picturesque Location Aharbal, Shopian region.

The PAL Kia team actively participated by planting Deodar and Pine saplings to restore biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, and enhance the region’s green cover.

Speaking on the initiative, Mushtaq Wani, COO of PAL Kia said, “At Kia, sustainability goes beyond mobility.” The Pir Panjal range is not just a natural treasure of India but also a critical ecosystem for the Valley. Through Green Drive, we aim to give back to the land that inspires us and involve local communities in building a greener, more resilient future.”

The plantation drive will be executed in phases, with active participation from PAL Kia employees and local volunteers to promote long-term environmental stewardship.

This initiative is part of PAL Kia India’s broader CSR vision, ‘Inspire A Better Tomorrow’, under which the company has committed to carbon neutrality and ecological restoration across its areas of operation.
