Key Achievements

1. 31% energy savings achieved during the year 2021-22 against 2019-20 as a result of taking energy efficiency improvement measures like. a) Fitment of auto cut off timers to all energy intensive industrial air compressors and industrial air circulators. b) Retro fitment of inverter based motor control systems (VFD) to all EOT Cranes and air compressors. c) Induction of IGBT inverter based welding machines in place of overaged conventional welding plants.

d) 100% LED lightings and super energy efficient BLDC sealing fans implemented. e) All air conditioners are upgraded to 5star rating energy efficiency. 2. Energy efficiency and energy audit, Internal Energy Audit conducted during this financial year. 3. ETP plant of 6KL/H discharge to recycle waste water and the recycled water is being used for plantation & loco cleaning activities.

Energy Efficiency

y DLS/GY is using transparent roof tops to reduce power consumption. y DSL/GY has taken many steps for conservation of energy and also identified Potential energy saving area. Energy savers has provided to all welding plants which has saved around 10,000

Kwh of electrical energy annually. y All the shed lightings were converted with LED lights, which saves around 50,000 Kwh of electrical energy costing around

Rs. 3,00,000/ annually. y The shed has planted 1000 no. of saplings to mitigate green house gas effect.
