We are committed to the principles of environmental conservation and innovate extensively to reduce our environmental footprint. Because what is good for the Earth is good for business.

Clean and green

• Green walls inside the plant can produce oxygen for around 3,500 people
• Hydroponics based green house on rooftop facilitated vegetable production for the in-plant community
• ‘Big Foot’ cooling technology helps maintain controlled air balance of Oxygen and CO₂ and also generates 15 kilolitre of water daily
• Solar PV Power installations across plants have the potential to reduce 1,800 tons of CO₂ emission and can save fuel equivalent to 25 L KWH
• Natural gas based gensets for captive power generation facilitated the reduction of 16,000 tons of CO₂ emission, replacing around 150 L kg furnace oil per annum
• Use of natural gas in various processes (paint shop, fluidised bed and hot water generator, among others) can reduce 300 tons of CO₂ emission; it replaced around 80 L kg propane per annum with natural gas
• Heat recovery system from flue gas of gensets to generate hot water for paint shop process enabled 4,200 tons of CO₂ emission reduction; it has the capacity of 18 Lakh K Cal per hour and saved 6500 SCM per day of natural gas
• Replaced all conventional lights with LED lights; it helped reduce 500 tons of CO₂

Resource conservation

• Zero liquid discharge facility in progress
• Recycled sewage water using ozoniser and softener to re-generate 300 KL per day of soft water for cooling tower and FDVs across all plants
• Replaced electrical exhaust fans with roof ventilators helped save 8800 KW per day of electric energy
• Real-time clock on panels of engine assembly, heat treatment and canteen boiler for operation optimisation helped save 600 KWH per day of electric energy
• Used natural lights by providing acrylic sheets across plant roofs
• Replaced aluminium alloy fans by Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) fans of cooling tower helped save 125 KWH per day of electric energy

Green process

• Introduced single coat single bake dip painting process (ACED) for frame body painting, replacing liquid spray painting process; this led to a saving of 7022 KW per day of electric energy, 440 kg per day of propane and 1,530,000 cf per day of compressed air
• Converted paint sludge into primer paint (total paint sludge recycled equals to 440 kg/day and saving of 41.5 kg HSD per day for incineration)

Green supply chain

Our Green Vendor Development Programme with 148 key suppliers are actively pursued by supply chain planning (SCP) department. This reduced water consumption (20K Lakh litres) significantly. This water is enough to take care of the needs of 8,400 families for a year. Considerable saving of electrical energy (100 L KwH) can light 50,000 homes for a year.
