2.92 million units solar electricity generated at plants
13.4 million units renewable generation planned for FY 2023-24 in addition
Many of our plants are situated in places with high solar radiation and high duration of availability of sunlight. We have already started using solar energy and are exploring opportunities for further enhancements.
We have installed solar rooftops energy solutions at our plants, and have current installed capacity of over 4 MWp of solar energy across all the plants.
APAR’s name has found a place in the CRISIL ESG rating this year, and the score is as follows:

As a responsible corporate, we are aware of the risks that climate change presents to our business, society and the planet, and the necessity to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions across our value chains for a greener future.
As we proactively implement mitigation measures to address our emissions, we recognize that the bulk of our emissions stem from our value chains. Thus, to achieve this ambitious target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, we engage our stakeholders including our suppliers to manage and reduce GHG emissions beyond our factory.
APAR is 1st Company in India to release Environment Product Declaration and Certification (EDP) for AL59 Conductors – a Low Carbon Emission Products.
As the world’s largest aluminium and alloy manufacturer, APAR is committed to step up and deliver best quality product with excellent customer services. With the growing global environmental issues, we have taken an initiative to address carbon emissions of our conductors. Towards this we have successfully published “Environment Product Declarations” on “EPD HUB” for AL 59 Conductors.
An Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, is a document which transparently communicates the carbon emission through entire life cycle of a product. The report covers carbon footprint computation, verification, validation and certification over its lifetime by EPD Hub on of AL 59 conductor as per EN 15804 +A 2 ISO 14025 ISO 21930 standards.
