49 Our Goal and Approach Rapidly depleting water table and challenges posed by climate change have serious implications that led to economic, environmental and social crisis across the globe and impacted manufacturing sectors. Reduce water consumption by 25% FY 2027 considering FY 22 as the baseline year. We recognize water as a critical resource and have implemented a comprehensive approach to reduce, reuse, and replenish water. By tracking and analyzing water consumption patterns, we have identified opportunities to optimize water usage in our production processes, cooling systems, and cleaning operations. Our commitment to recycling and reuse has led to a remarkable 16% reduction in specific water consumption. We prioritizes water conservation and responsible management across our operations. We aim to develop a plan to being water neutral in our operations and proactively ensure quality of water in areas we operate. We are in the process of determining a road map to achieve water neutrality in our operations and are also keen to contribute to water conservation initiatives in our communities.
