| Category | Total Count | Male Count | Female Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employees | 875 | 778 | 97 |
| Workers | 7,932 | 6,998 | 934 |
The turnover rate for permanent employees was 3.69% in FY26, up from 2.54% in FY25. For permanent workers, the rate rose to 5.91% from 3.69% in the prior year.
Environmental Performance
Total energy consumption increased to 2,80,93,092 GJ in FY26 from 2,63,60,952 GJ in FY25. Renewable sources accounted for 1,22,49,435 GJ of this total. Water withdrawal remained stable at approximately 1.97 billion kilolitres, sourced entirely from surface water.
Greenhouse gas emissions showed a mixed trend. Scope 1 emissions rose to 11,10,892 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 10,82,357 in FY25. However, Scope 2 emissions fell sharply to 35,910 metric tonnes from 75,528 in the previous year.
What the Numbers Show
While total energy consumption and Scope 1 emissions increased year-on-year, the company significantly reduced its reliance on purchased electricity or associated indirect emissions, evidenced by the drop in Scope 2 emissions by nearly 53%. This shift suggests a greater dependence on internal power generation or renewable sources, aligning with the reported increase in renewable energy consumption.
