Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) totaled 139,412.71 MT CO2e, rising from 128,092.26 MT CO2e in FY25. Emission intensity per lane kilometer fell to 7.77 MT CO2e from 7.98 MT CO2e.

Water consumption increased significantly to 2,341,885.80 kilolitres from 1,424,815.35 KL. Water intensity per lane kilometer rose to 130.45 KL from 88.82 KL. Total waste generated dropped sharply to 281,757.36 metric tonnes from 745,297.76 MT, with a recovery rate of 99.07%.

Social Metrics

IRB employed 2,827 permanent employees and 3,446 workers at year-end. Female representation among permanent employees stood at 3.75%, while female workers accounted for 5.34% of the workforce. Gross wages paid to females constituted 6.09% of total wages, down from 6.57% in FY25.

Safety metrics improved with a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 0 for both employees and workers, compared to 0.022 and 0.043 respectively in FY25. No fatalities were recorded. Spending on employee well-being measures rose to 0.041% of revenue from 0.032%.

Waste generation intensity declined substantially despite operational expansion. Total waste generated fell by over 62% to 281,757.36 MT, while waste intensity per lane kilometer dropped from 46.46 MT to 15.69 MT. This divergence suggests improved material efficiency or changes in project mix, as the company added operational lane kilometers during the period.
