implemented at all the plants and offices of the Company and
special efforts are made to undertake specific energy
conservation projects like:
Installation of Variable Frequency Drives for motors of
Blower & Pump, ranging 22 KW-160KW, as a flow control
strategy for energy conservation.
Conversion of electrical heating into gas heating system
of washingmachines.
Installation of CFL and LED bus bar indicators. Use of 24Wx4
T5 lamps for street lights, electronic ballasts, LED street
lights, 160W LED High bay lights at Dharwad Plant.
Installation of Light pipes & Transparent Polycarbonate
sheets, Solar water system for canteen, and 25KWp Solar
Power plant at Company’s Lucknow plant.

Solar Hybrid System) for Company’s Dharwad Plant.
Installation of Waste heat recovery system on ED oven and
for furnace flue gas to heat water used in the process.
Modification in PLC logic for automatic switching off ASU.
Optimization of AC plant operations. Installation of active
grill for data center AC system.
Installation of Energy Efficient Motors (Eff-1), Wind
Ventilators and Super magnetic dust separator.
Downsizing of motors, trimming of impeller of oversized
water recirculation pump, etc.
These changes have resulted in energy saving of 2.3 crore units
of electricity, 285KL of LDO, 10KL of HSD, and 173MT of Propane.
The whole effort resulted in cost savings for the Company of
around
`
14.92 crores and annual CO

.
Tata Motors and Japan-based New Energy and Industrial
Technology Development Organization (NEDO) successfully
converted two 2.5MW diesel electric power generators sets
into dual-fuel generators, using natural gas as the main fuel and
diesel as the pilot fuel. This effort resulted into cost saving

.
The Company’s Endeavour for tapping wind energy has also
made significant contributions.
Energy is being generated from existing captive wind
power. Further initiatives have been taken up to make
Pimpri Plant “carbon neutral” by meeting the entire power
requirement by purchase of wind power from Third Party
through open access. To maximize the use of wind power
from Third Party through open access, a Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) has been signed for an additional
`
6.95
crores. Presently, commercial vehicle plant at Pune has
become ‘Carbon Neutral’ by annual utilization of Green
Power of
`
13.37 crore units. Wind power units
(equivalent CO
2
Reduction of 1,23,363 tCO
2
) have resulted
in savings in electricity charges of TML Pune plant of
`
28.76 crores.
United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change
(UNFCCC) issued 25,297 CERs on December 12, 2011, for
the wind power generation period FY 2009-10.
