Energy Conservation Commitment, Policy and Set up

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., Automotive sector, Zaheerabad unit strongly believes that energy saving is a
multi disciplinary approach. The Plant’s energy profile consists of electricity, HSD, compressed air, LPG
and water. The LPG consumption is the major part of the energy consumption. Even smallest energy
conservation is going to add directly to its bottom line profits. Energy management policy, conservation
plans (ENCON), its implementation & periodic status reviews are closely monitored by the top
management. Energy audits are regularly conducted by external agencies like CII, Ingersoll-Rand,
synergy services etc. in addition to the in-house energy manager’s audits.

Energy Management policy is displayed everywhere in the plant for creating energy conservation
awareness. Every ENCON is taken to implementation and the best ENCON is identified and
rewarded/awarded accordingly. The company has adopted the TPM (Total Productive Management)
methodology for its excellence in performance. The company had formed cross functional teams (CFT)
headed by a senior executive as facilitator / mentor for cost reduction through energy savings. As many
as 1446 Kaizens (Double over F’06) like energy substitution, derating of the equipment suitable to site
conditions, Capacity utilization of the equipments, eliminating idle operation, optimization of air pressure
etc. have been done & implemented in F’07.

Energy Management Policy

• Benchmark specific energy consumption with national & international standards and setting up
systems to achieve them.
• Increase use of renewable energy & alternate fuel sources.
• Incorporate energy efficient designs & equipments in all projects.
• Conduct regular energy audits to optimize them.
• Form small group activities to increase employee involvement.
• Strengthen energy management program through the enhancement of skills & competence of our
employees.
• Reduce energy cost continuously every year by adopting effective “Energy Management system”
etc.

ENCON Cell formed by the top management to establish, implement and maintain the Energy
conservation initiatives.

Energy Conservation Achievements

1. Isolation of cooling tower from Body shop during non production hours

Before installation:

The existing cooling tower is common for both process


equipments & Compressor room. They need to run the 30
hp motor even in case of no process is running, thus
wastage of power.

After installation:

Energy efficient pump provided by modifying the water


circulation system which eliminates usage of cooling
tower during body shop non production hours.

No. of kWh Saved : 0.105 Lakhs Units


Savings per annum : Rs. 0.42 Lakhs
Investment : Rs.0.60 Lakhs

2) Reactive power optimization by installing 250 KVA Capacitor bank & Panel

Before:
Maximum demand recorded was 2739 KVA at power factor
of 0.96 lag.

After:
Maximum demand recorded was 2477 KVA at power factor
of 0.98 lag.

MD Saved per month : 56 KVA


Savings per annum : Rs.1.55 Lakhs

3) Auto voltage selection for Electro Deposition dip stage

Before:
In paint shop at electro deposition dip stage, due to manual selection of voltage & fixing it continuously for
3 Min, the power consumption was very high.

39
After:
Auto voltage & current selection system provided in turn vary voltage for the First 1 min & Next 2 Min
depending upon the surface area & thickness of the coating on the body.

Investment : Rs. 5.5 Lakhs


No. of kWh Saved : 0.40 Lakhs units
Savings per annum : Rs.1.62 Lakhs

4) Insulation replacement for the ED bring up & Holding zones

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

One of the remarkable contributions this year was the establishment of indigenous waste coolant
treatment system, which was not done before by any of the industries in the world, which involves
recovering waste oil from waste coolant, thereby the quantity of waste disposed has reduced by 55%
compared to last year.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY BENEFITS


¾ This process is unique one. It uses RO Rejection water & solar evaporation for coolant
oil treatment process.
¾ No Chemical treatment is involved in this process whereas other companies are using
chemicals & Electrolysis for treatment.
¾ High TDS water (RO Reject) disposal problem is solved.
¾ Meeting out the PCB standard to sell the oil for recycling (0.8% water & 99.2% oil
against PCB norms of 15 % water & 85% Oil)
¾ Cost saving Rs 6.52 lacs per annum.
