Conservation of energy, technology absorption
and foreign exchange earnings and outgo:

Conservation of energy

The Company has two sources of its main energy, viz.
Natural Gas- GAIL and Sabarmati Gas Ltd., for operating its
Sanitaryware facility. For energy conservation, the company
has installed fuel efficient burners to control gas consumption
and in addition to this, every effort is made by the company
to adapt any technological developments in energy
conservation. During the period, gas availability has been
constrained and prices rose sharply, creating a challenging
operating environment for the company. These conditions
could have significantly impacted production efficiency and
cost structures. However, owing to the company’s strategic
arrangement with GAIL, it was able to manage supply
disruptions effectively by optimizing its production planning
and aligning output with available resources.

Energy Conservation Project in the Existing System

Significant initiatives were undertaken to improve energy
efficiency across operations. A major focus area was the
effective utilization of kiln waste heat for drying greenware
and moulds, resulting in substantial energy savings.
Additionally, the standardization of gas pipelines and
pressure regulators enabled efficient operations at lower gas
pressure levels.

Overall plant efficiency witnessed notable improvement,
leading to a reduction in energy consumption. Further
savings were realized by implementing area-wise weekly
offs in place of staggered schedules, thereby optimizing
energy usage during casting and drying processes.
Moreover, the introduction of a closed heating system for
casting significantly reduced both drying time and overall
energy consumption.

The second energy, viz. electricity, required for running the
machineries, is supplied by the local Discom. To compensate
the energy consumption by way of electricity, your Company
has an installed capacity of Wind Turbines of 8.325 MW and
Solar Plants of 2.00 MW which generates about most of the
Company’s electricity requirement, and this gets offset
against monthly consumption of the energy bill.

? Timer controlled electrical equipment operations like
HF Plant, Water coolers, ACs, Street light etc.

? LED and Optimization senser light across the plant
(SW&FW).

? Improvement in power factor (Installation of Automatic
power factor Bank).

? Installation of energy efficient imported electric furnace
in FW division

? Periodic audit of air and energy consumption. Basis the
outcome of audit both plant took corrective actions in
PW divisions

? Slip ring induction motors replaced with High efficiency
motors (IE-3)

? Energy efficient ceiling fan replaced 100% across SW
and FW plant.

? Installation of energy efficient air compressor machines.

? Installation of new LED lights and replacement of All
CFL lights.

Technology absorption and foreign exchange
earnings and outgo

The information on technology absorption and foreign
exchange earnings and outgo stipulated under Section 134
(3)(m) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 8 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, is annexed herewith as a
separate Annexure- II.

less than one litre in the FW division.

? Substantial reduction in the use of Chemical in the
treatment of wastewater at FW division

? Improved plant efficiency impacted lower waste
generation in SW division

? Safety culture through, Incident investigations, Safety
training, near miss reporting and hazard identification.

? Cera has managed to stabilize power cost by generating
electricity through non-conventional sources (wind and
solar) for captive use. As of FY26, its total installed non¬
conventional energy capacity stood at 10.325 MW, which
produced 117.91 lakh units. Maximum of its energy needs
are met through renewable energy.

? Under the ‘Waste Minimization and Waste Utilization’
initiative, the Company has undertaken a range
of measures to promote sustainable operations.
These include recycling of solid and liquid waste,

implementation of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
systems, deployment of high energy-efficient rated
machinery, strict adherence to pollution control norms,
and continuous awareness programs for employees.

? A significant portion of the waste generated from
operations is effectively recycled, while the remaining
waste is disposed of in a safe and environmentally
responsible manner. In addition, the Company has
installed Effluent Treatment Plants at both of its
facilities to ensure proper treatment and management
of wastewater.

? By successfully implementing a fully functional rainwater
harvesting system, Cera has significantly reduced its
dependence on groundwater resources. Additionally,
by recycling water used in the manufacturing process,
the Company has lowered the overall water intensity of
its operations.

? Furthermore, Cera Faucetware has upgraded
