| R&D | - | - | Our R&D department is not only focused on upgrading our technology but also focused on making our products more sustainable. To reduce the environment and social impact of our products the department works on projects considering reduction of weight of our product and optimal use of oil in operations, improvising safety features and operational efciency. Our R&D/Manufacturing department created a process for producing higher quality class gears to reduce meshing losses, which increases gearbox efficiency and reduces power loss. Furthermore, higher quality gears minimize noise levels, which is critical for the environment. |

64[th] Annual Report 2023 - 24
| Capex | 10.15 | 70.88 | In the previous years we had installed solar systems to increase our renewable energy consumption. In addition to this in FY 2023-24, we have undertaken following initiatives to increase our operational energy efciency as under: Ground mounted solar generation at other premises having capacity of 2 MW. Installation of new plate cutting machine with upgraded environmental and operator’s health features. Replacing older & out dated more power consuming equipment with energy efcient new equipment as well as loss prevention. |
|---|---|---|---|
2. a. Does the entity have procedures in place for sustainable sourcing? (Yes/No)
- Yes
- b. If yes, what percentage of inputs were sourced sustainably?
Yes, the Company has formulated an operating procedure to approve vendors. Materials are procured from approved vendors both, local and international. The quality assurance team of the Company conducts periodic audit of the vendors, especially those who supply key materials and there is very specific focus towards the conservation of energy, water & environment as well as safety at their end.
3. Describe the processes in place to safely reclaim your products for reusing, recycling and disposing at the end of life, for (a) Plastics (including packaging) (b) E-waste (c) Hazardous waste and (d) other waste.
Our product line comprises products predominantly made of metals, accounting for around 99% of the composition. This metal content renders our products highly recyclable. The materials used, including ferrous and non-ferrous elements, contribute to a robust and sustainable life cycle lasting approximately 20-25 years. As a result, direct reclamation of our products for recycling post their life cycle is currently unviable.
Our product manual serves as a tool to raise awareness among customers, advocating for the recycling of used products through designated recyclers. At the end of their life cycle, our products do not generate plastic, e-waste, hazardous waste, or any other form of waste, aligning with our commitment to environmental sustainability.
4. Whether Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is applicable to the entity’s activities (Yes / No). If yes, whether the waste collection plan is in line with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plan submitted to Pollution Control Boards? If not, provide steps taken to address the same.

We receive credits for the units contributed, effectively reducing our electricity bills. Our renewable energy infrastructure boasts a total installed capacity of 4.7 MW in solar rooftop and 13.85 MW in windfarms. Through the utilization of these renewable sources, we’ve successfully avoided CO2 emissions.
We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), target validation will get done this year. Our emission reduction target will be established based on identified decarbonization strategies, including the adoption of renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and implementing fuel-switching measures.
