Sustainable EMS LLC (SEMS) is built upon a legacy of over 100 years of combined multi-disciplinary experience in infrastructure development, urban planning, and environmental enhancement. Guided by our foundational mantra, "Nature's Infrastructure First," our history is defined by a commitment to translating global best practices into resilient, low-carbon, and passenger-centric transport solutions across the globe.
- Pioneering Leadership: SEMS is led by Mr. Ajay Singh, the former Chief of Sustainability and Environment at New York City Transit. His pioneering work in large-scale urban sustainability, extensive logistics experience across the United States, and tenure as Chair of the Transportation Advisory Committee for New Jersey laid the strategic foundation for our firm.
- A Century of Collective Expertise: Since our inception, we have aggregated over 100 years of multi-dimensional experience within our core team. This deep well of knowledge has allowed us to deliver high-impact assignments across South Asia and North America, ranging from master planning to transit-oriented development (TOD).
- Global Benchmarks in Sustainability: A historic milestone for SEMS was our partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to introduce the ISO 14001 framework to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Through this initiative, DMRC became the first metro system in the world to achieve this environmental certification during the construction phase.
- Transforming Megacity Transit: Our operational history is marked by contributions to some of the world's most complex transit corridors. We played a critical role in India's first fully underground metro corridor—the USD 5 billion Mumbai Metro Line 3—handling multi-package civil works and structural model reviews.
- Shaping National Standards: Over several years, we have worked closely with national bodies like Indian Railways to author comprehensive Manuals for Standards and Specifications. These frameworks continue to guide the redesign of century-old, legacy rail infrastructure into modern, environmentally responsible, world-class transit hubs.
