Our Sustainability Pillars
Harnessing Solar Power
We have installed a 147.15 kWp rooftop solar power plant at our ICD in Thoothukudi, generating 198,410 kWh annually.
- That is equivalent to planting 48,696 trees each year.
- Reduces dependency on conventional energy sources.
- Contributes directly to our long-term ESG commitments.
This investment reflects our belief that sustainable energy should power the future of logistics.
