"The Company’s API plants with ‘zero

liquid discharge’ recycles waste water to reduce intake

of fresh water by 40%. Similarly, its formulation units

use waste water for gardening, diminishing use of fresh

water by 20%. The Company is consistently pursuing new

methods to decrease generation of waste at source. It

disposes wastes as per statutory environmental permits.

minimisation and recycling" - page 68 of annual report 2016-17.
