Towards a low-carbon, circular future

Optimising carbon footprint

We are actively reducing carbon emissions across our operations. At our sugar units, the 104.5 MW cogeneration capacity fulfils captive power requirements while significantly lowering our carbon footprint. Additionally, using molasses to produce fuel ethanol helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Our Power Transmission business enables diverse industries on their renewable energy journey by supplying value-engineered solutions. We invest in R&D to reduce energy losses and enhance system efficiency. Further, sustainability efforts like LED lighting, ~85% captive wind power generation, variable frequency drives and use of sea transport ensure efficient energy or fuel consumption. Diesel generators are strictly used for back-up power and are operated at full load to maximise efficiency.

Air pollution management

Our sugar and distillery units utilise advanced pollution control technologies like bag filters, electrostatic precipitators and wet scrubbers in steam boilers. These systems help maintain air quality and minimise any impact on vegetation and surrounding communities.

Water and wastewater management

We ensure zero liquid discharge (ZLD) operations across the distillery and power transmission businesses through investments in water treatment plants and incineration boilers. We not only ensure effective water treatment but also recycle and reuse it in operations, reducing fresh water consumption and preventing soil degradation. Our PTB has 8 lakh litres of rainwater harvesting capacity, which is used for cooling and gardening purposes.

Additionally, as a frontrunner in integrated water and wastewater treatment solutions, we offer a range of solutions that assist municipalities and industries in overcoming critical water challenges. To safeguard the environment and ensure adherence to the Government’s ZLD policy, we use the latest available technologies. We have also established a collaboration with CII, CII Triveni Water Institute, that engages with stakeholders and focusses on using innovative tools to enhance water security in India.

Waste management and waste-to-wealth efforts

In our Power Transmission Business, gearbox oil and lubricants used during manufacturing and testing are carefully collected, stored, and sent for recycling through vendors approved by the State Pollution Control Board.

Our sugar and alcohol businesses effectively repurpose co-products generated during operations such as bagasse, molasses, and press mud to create value-added products. These efforts not only improve sustainability but also contribute to a circular economy by turning waste into resources.

Co-products

Creating wealth from waste

Bagasse is used to generate power for captive use and grid sales (surplus).

Molasses (post levy obligation) used to produce ethanol for petrol blending and ENA for potable and industrial purpose.

Sold for potash fertiliser production, contributing to India’s potash self-sufficiency.

At Sabitgarh, CO2 from the fermentation is captured, compressed and sold as liquid CO2 and dry ice.

Sold for fly ash brick manufacturing/soil enrichment.

Currently, used as organic manure by farmers; plans to convert this into renewable biogas through anaerobic digestion.

It's a byproduct of the ethanol production process from grains, primarily used as a livestock feed. DDGS is rich in protein and energy, making it a valuable ingredient in animal diets

Building a resilient, sustainable agricultural ecosystem

We are supporting farmers in integrating sustainable agriculture practices that can drive resilience and minimise impact on the environment. Some of the key efforts include:

Sustainable sourcing

Our sustainability efforts extend beyond own operations to the value chain, focussing on sourcing materials ethically and in an environmentally responsible manner across the value chain. We are driving systematic changes in collaboration with our suppliers to build long-term resilience and shared value.

Integrating sustainability in sourcing

Sugar

  • Sourcing strategy including vendor selection based on sustainable requirements and aligned performance objectives.
  • Efficient logistics arrangements, including the use of GPS and geofencing, ensuring:
    • Constant tracking of raw materials and products.
    • Fuel and time-efficient goods movement with cane quality retained.
    • Low emissions and associated costs.
  • Streamlined bagasse flow from captive sugar units to cogeneration facilities, ensuring efficiency and sustainability.

Alcohol

  • Feedstock (molasses, sugarcane juice/syrup and grain) sourced from own sugar mills and the market.
  • Monitored and streamlined transport arrangements, ensuring efficient movement and uninterrupted operations.

Power Transmission business

  • Orders placed with reliable vendors based on the criticality and vendor ratings.
  • Robust vendor selection criteria, including:
    • Past performance, adherence to timelines and cost competitiveness.
    • Compliance with laws, including our standards for EHS, product and service quality, and willingness to reduce cost, wastage and enhance productivity.

Water

  • Most material supplies are custom-engineered, with approved vendors responsible for direct site deliveries following factory inspection.
  • Robust framework in place for vendor evaluation, onboarding and capability building, alongside maintaining an approved vendors list for expedited sourcing.

Social responsibility rooted in purpose

Fuelling farmer progress

We are committed to the socio-economic empowerment of our farmers through sustained partnerships and farmer-centric initiatives. We undertake focussed engagement programmes to help them adopt modern agronomic practices such as trench planting, ratoon management, and biological crop protection. This is achieved through field demonstration and training by our experts. We further support them by offering soil testing solutions, site-specific fertiliser recommendations, and subsidised organic inputs like press mud.

To combat the red rot disease affecting sugarcane over the past two years, we undertook an extensive varietal substitution programme to promote high-yielding, disease-resistant sugarcane varieties. This effort will help ensure better productivity and long-term farm resilience. We have also partnered with Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Coimbatore, for varietal evaluation and selection trials. We are deploying technologies like AI/ML, IoT, and satellite data to empower our farmers. Our dedicated Cane Development Portal and Mobile App offers real-time agro-advisory, weather updates, and issue resolution support. We further provide drone-based field surveillance and pesticide spraying services to tackle diseases. We have also released a Digital Board that provides training in plantation techniques and crop cycles, market information, precision farming methods and resource optimisation.

Delivering superior experiences to customers

We are dedicated to delivering superior value to our customers in the engineering segment, including PTB and water businesses. We combine domain expertise, advanced technologies and innovative engineering to deliver best-in-class solutions with a focus on reliability, precision, and long-term performance.
