Our Impact

Climate Adaptation – Pile foundation on towers with flood exposure

Our transmission line asset passing through Gandaki river in Bihar, originally had 39 open cast and 4 pile foundations. Historically, given that the river changed its course, the transmission towers were exposed to potential risks due to open cast foundations which would make them vulnerable towards this change. Post acquisition by our Infrastructure Portfolio, the open cast foundations were replaced with pile foundations to mitigate potential risk of damaging of transmission towers by improving strength of the foundations

Environmental Risk Mitigation Building Spurs and Rebuilding Guide Bunds for Our Road Asset

To mitigate any damage to our Dibang road asset and a bridge due to river flooding, a flexible guide bund using Polypropylene (PP) coated wire rope gabions and locally available boulders was built – along with 7 Repelling Spurs and was laid down along the shore of the river. This solution has strengthened the guide bund and shall protect it against any potential phenomenon of the river meandering sideways.

Adopting Circularity Principles to Reduce Waste in Cement Manufacturing

One of our portfolio companies repurposes Fly Ash from captive power plants as a cement additive and recycles hazardous waste like oil sludge through registered vendors.

The company has achieved plastic negativity by using plastic waste as kiln fuel and sourcing additional waste from municipal corporations and industries, significantly reducing resource consumption, emissions, and environmental impact. Office e-waste is responsibly recycled through registered vendors.

Responsibility towards Employees

Our talent, particularly in senior management and investments, has been a key factor in our growth and market leadership. To maintain our momentum, we continue to enhance our employee value proposition to attract and retain high-quality, results-oriented professionals. We consistently invest in upskilling our workforce to differentiate our teams from those of our competitors. Regular mentoring and learning workshops help employees develop both functional and behavioural skills, enhancing their capabilities and readiness for greater responsibilities.
