Adani Total Gas (ATGL), a group firm that is into developing city gas distribution networks, has 870 kW of rooftop solar capacity installed across 50 sites. The company is also exploring setting up a captive solar plant in FY24, even as it is on track to become water positive in the coming years.
ATGL has set up 104 charging points and is on track to install 4,000 EV-charging points by 2024, it added. At Ambuja Cements, the thermal substitution rate has been improved to 7.34% in the January-March quarter of 2023, from 6.62% during the same quarter of 2022, by maximising the usage of alternative fuels. Specific electrical energy usage was reduced by 1.31% QoQ by taking various energy efficiency measures, it added.
Adani Wilmar, its edible oil firm, implemented solar power at 8 plants out of 23 own units and plans to continue such installation across all plants in the coming years. It also became the first edible oil company to introduce recyclable packaging with 98% of packaging made recyclable, it added.
