APAR is proud to announce the publication of its revised Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report, demonstrating its commitment to transparency in climate-related financial risks and opportunities. This report outlines our strategic approach to addressing climate change, aligning with global best practices, and enhancing stakeholder trust.
The TCFD framework provides a structured approach to assess and disclose climate-related risks and opportunities, and APAR is committed to integrating these principles into our operations and reporting practices.
Our report includes:
“Publishing our TCFD report is a significant milestone for APAR,” mentioned by Suyash Saraogi, President Strategy & Projects. “It reflects our proactive approach to sustainability and our dedication to addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

APAR has installed 5.34 MWp of roof-top solar capacity and another 1.2 MWp capacity is under implementation. In addition, we have commissioned a wind-solar hybrid (3.30 MW wind-turbine and 2.80 MWp of solar energy) project in partnership with a leading supplier, which is providing approx. 13.5 million KWh of renewable energy annually. We will be commissioning another two similar capacity wind-solar hybrid projects by June 2025. We expect our share of renewable energy to go up to 25% for the year 2025-26. This will enable a saving of approx. 34,000 tCO2e per annum at current grid emission factor.
We had engaged with the leading institutes and completed the energy audits at three plants (Conductor plants in Athola & Rakholi, and Cable plant in Khatalwada). A total of 72 GHG reduction projects have been identified as a result of these detailed energy audits, with a potential to save approximately 8,500 tCO₂e GHG emissions per year. The main objectives of energy audits are as follows:
We have implemented several GHG reduction projects and many more are under implementation. Some of the examples are:
These projects are being taken up for implementation during FY 2023-24.
Due to various measures taken by APAR, the absolute GHG emission in FY 21-22 reduced by 3%, despite overall increase in production.
We have been working consistently towards lowering our carbon footprint through various initiatives. We follow the GHG Protocol for measuring our GHG emission. Currently, we are measuring, managing and disclosing our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions.
We have implemented several GHG reduction projects and many more are under implementation. Some of the examples are:
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.
Towards the above, APAR has started engaging with its vendor partners through:
We will keep on working with vendor partners to collectively do our bit to tackle climate change, and secure a liveable planet for future generations.
