Progress in reduction of specific energy consumption in ITC's businesses
A focussed approach on energy conservation through rigorous third party audits and implementation of the recommendations also resulted in substantial improvement in specific energy performance.
In the Paperboards Business, the three factories, Bhadrachalam, Tribeni and Kovai together accounted for 90.3% of total energy consumption for ITC. |
ITC’s Paperboards and Specialty Papers Business has been rated as the most energy efficient in the Indian Paper and Paperboard Business sector, according to the Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi (Challenge of the New Balance, CSE, 2010)
In 2010-11, specific energy consumption at the Paper & Paperboards Unit at Bhadrachalam has marginally gone up (by 1% over the last year) due to increase in pulp production (reducing import of pulp) and value added products.
| Specific energy consumption (GJ/tonnes):
