 Indias evolving story in the coming years.

 compliance long way back and is doing new initiative every year. Some

 to mechanical, electrical, chemical, physiological and psychological
 safety the Company has made Zero incidents” as acceptable standard.

 Society.

 Minimize generation of waste, terminate hazardous chemicals with
 non-hazardous chemicals, minimize carbon foot print, generate pollution
 prevention awareness throughout the plant and to achieve 100 percent
 legal compliance.
