The Group has not limited this plantation drive only to Thrissur basis but has spread this across its all project sites taking the trees planted. Besides this, ecologically sensitive Mangroves are planted in Hectares of coastal areas.
Water Conservation
Old mines reservoir four nos. for collection of rain water and stored water is being used for gravel screening process and washing purpose. Presently stored water quantity is 12.14 lakh m3, this collected rain water is used throughout the year. Each rainwater drop is conserved in the plant by an innovative garland canal. The collected water is diverted into reservoir situated in Mines and crushing units. Four Rain Water harvesting bodies covering nearly 28.0 hectares have been developed in Mines area. Similarly, at Group’s Cochin Blue Metals plant in Kottayam, the company has developed two ponds for rain water harvesting and the quantity of rain water being collected near the plants.
