| Metric | FY26 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|

| Scope 1 Emissions (tCO₂e) | 84,78,540.95 | 16,17,121.47 |
| Scope 2 Emissions (tCO₂e) | 26,421.67 | 22,334.21 |
Water withdrawal increased to 1,40,43,760.10 kilolitres from 86,09,687.28 kilolitres in FY25. The company maintains Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) practices across all plants, treating wastewater for recycling or horticultural use.
Waste Management
Total waste generated rose to 85,11,812.36 metric tonnes from 15,50,632.1 metric tonnes in the previous year. Non-hazardous waste constituted the majority of this volume. The company recovered 1,91,880.38 metric tonnes through recycling and reuse operations.
Safety and Governance
The report disclosed two fatalities among workers in FY26, compared to none in FY25. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for workers was 0.85 per million person-hours worked. No injuries or fatalities were reported among employees. Moore Singhi Advisors LLP provided reasonable assurance on the core KPIs.
What the Numbers Show
The significant increase in total energy consumption and GHG emissions aligns with the expanded reporting boundary, which now includes all manufacturing locations and mining operations. This broader scope explains the higher absolute figures compared to the restated prior year data.
