Does the entity have any project related to reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions? If yes, then provide details.

Yes, the Company has projects related to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The company operates two biomass power generation plants located in Abohar and Muktsar, Punjab, with an annual contracted capacity of 8 MW and 6 MW, respectively. These plants generate electricity using biomass such as paddy straw, cotton stalks, wheat stalks, and mustard straw and supply it to various consumers connected to the regional grid. The primary goal of this project is to utilise the surplus biomass available in the region for effective electricity generation, thus reducing GHG emissions that would have occurred from fossil fuel-based power generation. By focusing on environmental sustainability, the Company has successfully reduced more than 191,067 tCO2e emissions by producing green power.

The biomass-based project contributes to sustainable development in several ways:

Social Well-being: By purchasing crop residue from local farmers, the project provides an additional source of income, thereby enhancing the purchasing power of the local population. The project also creates employment opportunities by preferentially hiring local workers during the construction and operation phases. It is expected to employ 70-80 people directly and 2,000-2,500 people indirectly in transportation activities. Improved connectivity to nearby locations due to the project leads to overall regional development.
Economic Well-being: The project creates business opportunities for local stakeholders, such as suppliers, manufacturers, and contractors. It helps bridge the demand-supply gap in the power-deficient regional grid, reducing transmission losses and ensuring reliable power supply. This encourages industrial growth in the area, contributing to regional prosperity.
Environmental Well-being: The project reduces GHG emissions that would have been generated from fossil fuelbased power plants. By utilising renewable biomass, the project promotes environmental sustainability and conserves finite, nonrenewable resources like coal and gas.
Technological Well-being: The plant employs a modern, energy-efficient, and environmentally safe steam turbo generator and boiler capable of firing multiple fuels. This technology strengthens the grid, increases energy availability, and improves the quality of power in nearby rural areas, thereby addressing local energy demands and promoting technological advancement.
