Enlarging a Water Positive FootprintEnlarging a Water Positive Footprint

 

The continued focus on rainwater harvesting both in the Company premises and socially relevant watershed areas has enlarged our water positive footprint.

As on March 31, 2012, ITC’s Watershed Projects covering nearly 90,000 Hectares of land, support the Water Positive status of the Company for the 10th year in a row. The total rainwater harvesting potential so far created by the Company is over two times the net water consumption by our operations.
