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-generation
Alcohol
Potash rich ash
(Derived from slop incineration, a concentrated
spent
wash from molasses/syrup to ethanol conversion).
Carbon dioxide (CO2 )
Fly ash
(Derived from bagasse during the steam and power
generation process).
Press mud/filter cake
(a residue of cane processing rich in convertible
substrates).
Distillers Dried Grain Solubles (DDGS)
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
-
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.

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
