India has set a path towards colossal infrastructure development in recent years which increases the functionality of the country. Though there are many challenges on this path, infrastructure projects are affected by cost and time overruns. This situation arises due to a lack of funding and poor project management. Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) of infrastructure is used in preplanning of road project points out areas of development in a structured process. PDRI along with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) helps to identify & mitigate the issues simultaneously. Present study aims to develop stimulating the growth of road projects by using Sustainable Development Goals and finding alternative materials to reduce CO2 emissions. Total 9 projects were analyzed considering all categories of roads in the Indian context is done and sustainable goals are incorporated to mitigate risk. Embodied Energy of materials is considered to select sustainable material. Thus, it can be concluded that PDRI and SDGs can work simultaneously to achieve better pre-planning and sustainability.
