Vedanta Limited’s Lanjigarh unit has won the ‘Excellent Energy Efficient Unit’ award during the 20th National Award for Excellence in Energy Management 2019, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

“The unit achieved its best process efficiency in FY19 and registered lowest energy consumption in the refinery’s history. This resulted in the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in Lanjgarh unit’s history, in the process creating a global benchmark for a coal-fired refinery,” it said.
Rakesh Mohan, COO – Vedanta, Lanjigarh unit said, “The award bears testimony to some of our advanced energy efficiency practices aimed at reducing Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) and cost. Vedanta is committed to uphold sustainable practices in its operation with the highest energy-efficient standards. We believe our efforts will help us create a sustainable future for our community and environment.”
Vedanta has undertaken digital transformation to create efficiency, productivity, adaptability and sustainability across the value chain. The company’s SCE has shown a tremendous reduction in the past years following the implementation of energy saving projects.
The CII annual forum recognises the companies engaged in energy-efficiency initiatives that adopt best practices and utilise technological benefits to improve their daily operations.
