Scales Green Power (RE+WHRS) from 6% to 80% by FY29; Q1FY27 Realisation ₹3,847/ton (+1.5% QoQ, +2% YoY)

announced ambitious sustainability plans to ramp up green power usage via renewable energy (RE) and Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) from current ~6% to 80% by FY29.

The green energy push will significantly cut power & fuel costs (major expense head), boost EBITDA margins, reduce carbon footprint, and enhance ESG credentials. High capex for RE/WHRS expansion could strain near-term cash flows and debt levels, especially with ongoing industry cost pressures (fuel inflation). Positive sector sentiment likely benefits , , , .
