Water Conservation
The two paperboards units at Bhadrachalam and Kovai and
the specialty papers unit at Tribeni account for 91.9 % of ITC's total fresh water intake.
By implementing water audit
recommendations, use of advanced technology, better water management and heightened
awareness, these units have reduced specific water consumption by 13%, 2% & 18%,
respectively, over the previous year. |

Sustained Improvements
The Bhadrachalam unit, the largest consumer of water in ITC (77.1% of the total fresh
water drawn), has recorded 88% growth in production since 1988-89 but only a 2% increase
in fresh water intake. This has been made possible by improvements in technology and
sustained water conservation efforts.
ITC's Cigarette factories achieved specific water consumption of 6.33 KL/million
cigarettes in 2005-06, an improvement of 12.1% over the previous year (7.2 KL/million
cigarettes in 2004-05). |

reduction in specific water consumption.The Packaging & Printing factories also
achieved a major reduction (16%) in fresh water intake over the previous year - a notable
achievement given a 9.4% growth in production. This amounted to 23.4% improvement in
specific water consumption.
