Conservation of energy, technology absorption and foreign exchange earnings and outgo
The details of conservation of energy, technology absorption, foreign exchange earnings and outgo are as follows
A) Conservation of energy:
⢠We have Installed Air Preheater in the Exhaust of the Heaters which Reduces the Power Load to Heat the Air for Combustion of the Fuel in the Heaters & reduce the Flue Gas Temperature too.
⢠We Have Installed Air Coolers for the Condensation of the Vapours of the Process Column which Ultimately reduces the Water Purification Cum Power cost to Treat it from Bore well to the Condition where it can be Made Useable for the Process, also the Natural Cooling Reduces the Power Load of the Fans too of the Cooling Towers .
⢠We have been using the IE3 Motors for More Energy Savings.
⢠We have Designed the Continuous Polymerisation Plant Building is Such a way that the required Ventilation of Air is achieved without use of Exhaust Fans to remove the heat of the Building. This results in reduced capes and regular energy costs.
⢠All the old Electrical panels, Cables, transformers have been replaced by new latest technology equipment which will be more efficient and reduce monthly energy bills.
⢠New Variable frequency drives have been installed to ensure high efficiency and optimum use of energy.
⢠All new lights that are being installed are low power consuming LED type fittings.
⢠Elimination of Tedious process for movement of main raw materials;
The main raw material for the plant will be PTA which was previously coming in bags due to various reasons. We will bring PTA in tankers to our plant which will save the cost of transportation, cost of bags, handling costs and also electrical energy consumed during transportation to the height via electrical hoists. This will also save costs incurred due to pilferage during transportation of bags.
It was observed during regular cost audit exercise, that due to the temperature difference during day & night, It is possible to stop 50% electrical fans of all coolers in the night. This translates in considerable energy saving during the night.
Similarly regular energy savings are achieved by optimizing the plant process parameters & process activity due to reduced loads on all the cooling towers & chillers.
The company has also increased the use of electricity free turbo vent in place of electrical operated exhaust fan resulting in 100% savings.
B) Technology absorption
The company has purchased new H.T. Power capacitor banks which will increase the power factor to nearly 1 and reduce energy costs.
Melt Transfer Line:
We have already installed a direct melt transfer line to the POY plant which will bypass the process of making chips and save the energy consumed for cooling the polymer and cutting into chips, packing and transporting to POY area and re-heating and extruding at the PoY stage. This will be in addition to the assured uninterrupted supply to the POY lines for better production efficiency.

Conservation of energy, technology absorption and foreign exchange
earnings and outgo:
The details of conservation of energy, technology absorption, foreign
exchange earnings and outgo are as follows:
(A) Conservation of energy:
The conservation of energy is of paramount importance and not only
necessary for conserving national resources but also inevitable across
all industry, as it has far reaching impact on the bottom line of the
company. We have taken several steps in this regard related to our
manufacturing activity but the key steps are-
1. We have taken initiatives for replacement of existing lights with
"LED Lights" to save power consumption and during the current year we
have completed this process in all the key areas where power
consumption is high. In the ensuing year, we will complete the process
of replacement of Existing Light with "LED Light" in all the area where
it requires.
2. One of our key raw materials is PTA, which is available both in
bags and tanker. Now we are bringing material in tankers as it directly
fed in the process rather than bringing in Bag. As material brought in
bags, require additional consumption of electrical energy on account of
charging of electrical hoist for lifting and pulling down the bags.
3. The cooling Tower Fan and Air Cooler Fan are one of the major
components which consume energy. We have optimised use of number of
fans depending upon the temperature difference during the day and
night.
4. We have optimised the plant process parameter, process activity and
reduced the load on the cooling tower and chiller.
5. We have started using of turbo vent in place of electrical operated
exhaust fan to contain electrical energy consumption.
(B) Technology absorption:
1. We have installed modern Power Capacitor Bank for increasing power
factor which will directly reduce electric consumption.
2. We have implemented a Direct Polymer Melt line for direct
consumption of melt instead of Polyester Chips for producing POY. This
has actually reduced our process flow and not only improved quality but
also reduced power consumption ratio per ton of production
(C) Foreign exchange earnings and Outgo:
The particulars regarding foreign exchange earnings and outgo are given
in Note No. 37 and 39 Notes forming part of the Accounts.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives:
The Company has constituted a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Committee as per provisions of Section 135 of Companies Act, 2013 to

Updates on Expansion/modernisation:
During the Year under review, the company implemented Continuous

(one of the key raw material for manufacturing POY). The commercial
operation of CP plant started as per schedule in July, 2013. The
Capacity of the plant is 153665 MTPA,
whereas existing capacity of the POY plant is 46891 MTPA. Considering

project which will use Direct Polymer Melt produced by CP plant into
POY. This will increase capacity of POY production from the current
level of 46891 MTPA to 122238 MTPA (an increase of 75347 MTPA) after
